Becker Parang BKBP

You guys know there was a non-folding version too, right...

Yeah, I would guess the pestilence chopper was influenced by it. Not only that, I’d imagine Becker scales were influenced by it too. Similarly shaped, Ethan improved the ergos. :thumbsup:

I really need to put Becker scales on one of those. :)

A couple years ago, I wanted to put the Becker scales on one, but I never found a cheap beater to try it, and didn't want to risk an expensive purchase and them not fitting good?
But I assumed they would, since they are Really similar!

Ok, I'm still at work, but I'll take closer detailed pics tonight hopefully.... I still have more cosmetic work to do on it, I wanted to prove it's design before making it pretty..... But mostly I drilled new holes, ground down the top of the tang, and filled with liquid metal epoxy on the bottom area.... I still have slight more fill to add, more grinding, and clean up the scales with paint or sandblasting, idk
 
I was thinking there were non-folding versions as well but i couldnt recall precisely. And yeah, i was saying how the ethan may have mentioned the pilot machete design, not the pestilence. Its easy to assume that kabar did get the pestilence design from the pilot machete. I think the death dagger is also designed after a vintage blade.

That pestilence has a look about it, like a rendition of the old folding pilot machete (without the folding part). I dont want to put words in anyones mouth but i think i recall ethan expressing admiration of that blade design (Maybe an old video?).

I found the video, a least the one I was thinking of. During his discussion about kukris, Ethan talks about his Case Pilot's Machete then said combine that with a kukri and you get the Machax.
 
Are my pictures not showing? I rushed them super quick on my way out the door, before work this morning….

*if they aren't working, I'll redo them tonight. :/
