I realize that this will most likely die in committee, but I have the hankeren for a Becker Tanto. With a real tanto point not an Americanized version.

I have always been in awe of Japanese Bladesmiths, and lately more than ever, I find myself drawn to traditional style Japanese Blades.

Maybe that is why I like my BK-5 and 15 so much. They seem to slightly follow the lines,
I think there is room in the line up for a more finesse oriented blade in between the big choppers.

Big, Heavy, and Straight = Chopper
Thin, Light, and Curved= Slicer

Anyways just an idea. Probably headed the way of the Edsel.

If not, maybe I'll wrap my BK-5 in Ray skin, and cord wrap it.
Maybe make up a kit. Where are the photoshop guys when you need them.
 
Someone made a nice looking tanto out of a 5. I don't remember who or which thread it was posted in. If nobody else finds it, I'll look tomorrow.
 
nixcustoms had one made and it is gorgeous
