Modded the sheath to make it appear more in size with the knife...
One more of the brothers...
OK...Thoughts....
Obviously, I like it! Feels great in the hand. The sheath is nice...way better than the old stock sheaths. However it looks/feels like the sheath is too big for the knife. I think I might go kydex for this. Next to the MKI, the MKI is bigger in terms of blade and the BK16 has the longer handle. The MKI feels more substantial in the hand. I like the FFG, and the coating is much better. However, looking at it, I think I AM going to go ahead and strip and polish. I just don't like the look of black blades. I hope there isn't any metal flaws underneath, like my BK14 had.
Want to try a wrap on it, but I don't think the sheath straps will fit if I do. Will wait till I re-sheath it. Have to decide for sure if I want to go leather or kydex. Which ever I do, it needs to be low profile to compliment the knife.
It was slightly smaller in feel than I expected. Probably from handling the MKI, which has a much hand-filling, grippier handle. But I still like it.
It IS definately an "in-between" knife. I think it needs an in-between sheath. Right now it feels like a medium knife in a large knife sheath. Tried the MKI sheath, but the Becker is wider Spine to Edge.
I'd recommend this to anyone. I don't think I'll get the other two though. Two mediums is enough. I do think however, with the right sheath this could EDC nicely.
