BK-1 Brute Modification [UPDATED]

[tman038]

looks great.. i wish i could have held it before and after to see the difference. nice mod to make it your own.

 

[Serin 16]

I like how it turned out. 3/16 in. seems like a good taper thickness. Great job!

 

[Tdhurl1103]

Impressive. I wish I had half this talent.

I like the Brute, but it's a heavy bugger with a full canteen of water on the other side of the belt.

 

[james terrio]

Nice work! :thumbup:

 

[stvpourciau]

Very good mods

 

[Cryptyc]

I believe you should always modify things to make them work perfectly for you. I love your mods and it seems like they serve you well. Congrats and happy bday!

If Kabar and/or Mr. Becker are reading....We NEED a .188 BK1 with choil and BK skeletonised handle!!!!


great work Dex!

 

[nemesis]

Thanks for the link here, awesome blade and nice work on it!

 

[Dexwithers]

Thanks guys. And no problem nemesis, I hope you find yourself one. They pop up from time to time.

I really do love this blade, trying to decide what type of handles I want to make for her and then I'm gonna finish up the rest of the mods. Then make either a kydex or a nice leather sheath to carry her in.

Damn, that is sexy Dex. My main attraction to the Brute was the aesthetics, but you Mario'ed it (one upped it for you non geeks).

Beautiful job man. Love it. :thumbup:

Haha! Thanks man........ And that's a great way to describe it!!

Beautiful job man. Love it. :thumbup:

Thank you. I Can't wait till I have some time to finish her up.

 

[Dexwithers]

Almost done with this beast.

Finally got some scales on her and I think I have them shaped the way I want. Need to sharpen the blade and do a quick light sanding and she's gonna be done.
Think I might do a convex?

Well here a few pics of how she came out. Nothing fancy and the pics aren't great but you can get the idea.

I will do another update soon, just thought I'd show y'all the new handles.

 

[The Warrior]

Looks great. :thumbup:

 

[TBL]

Agree, Nice handles Dex!

 

[rokclmb]

Those scales look great!

 

[Cryptyc]

Fantastic handles Dex. The liners compliment it well.

 

[Dexwithers]

Thank you guys. I like how this one turned out.

I was chopping some branches today and thought I would take a couple pics of her.

Man I really love the curves on this blade.

 

[Semper Praesidio]

What a great project. Again, great work on the scales, Dex; and I agree with Cryptyc: the red liners add a great dimension to it.

I've gotta find one of these....
