Bent 16 Therapy!! WIP thread! Updated: 4/23

[daizee]

I think you may be on the something with the tire....lol

The smallest I can get G-10 in is 8"X11, enough for about 3 knives....

G10 comes in standard 1.5"x5" scales. I dunno where you're shopping.
Bright green-handled knives look weird, IMO, but it's not bad as an accent color.

I'm glad that Dex is going to fix 'er up! I can't wait to see the results.

About the scales--email me if you want to know where to get the 1.5" x 5" scale sets...

Dex is the BK-16 King. Another masterpiece will be forthcoming.

Got the 16 in the mail today.

And yes guy's............ it's no optical illusion.......... this bad boy is bent really bad. lol Man, I sure hope I can do something with it. haha. Gonna be magic for sure.

And Kid, no more Nutinfancy videos for you. I know you must have been using a baton at least the size of a fence post! lol

Just messing with ya. I will brainstorm this weekend and we can talk on monday about which way to go with this project.


haha. I still can't get over how bent it is. Looks like it bent exactly where the heat treat stopped.

Very interesting to say the least.

Hey dex, if you could provide us with comparison pics with other 16's, that would be great! :thumbup:

Conclusion:

She's Bent..........

Now to find a solution to our little problem.

I may also add that the blade is bent the other way as well, slightly. Not much to make a huge difference in the end performance of the knife I don't think.

 

[Darksidedenny]

I actually kinda like it like that...

I see FOD just released a new batch of Shadetree micarta. I'd love to see some of that on a 16. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
