BK-21 RBK MOD

Nice Dex!

The real question is, what are you going to do with the remainder?

Jeremy
Thanks man.
And you gonna ruin the suprise! haha.
Been grinding a little on the discarded piece already. Plenty of metal to make something cool i think. If I get a chance later tonight, I'll post a pic of the original scrap section.
 
good to see you're still alive and kicking!

that scrap would make an awesome necker. heat the back end up and curl it over

Hey Vik! Yea, I'm still kicking. haha

And that is an idea I have-not thought of yet. May be a possibility. I was gonna cut it, but now I will ponder your idea. I do like that option as well. Thanks!

I made a neat little kiridashi with what was left over on mine.

That's what I was gonna do too. How did yours come out? Any pics?



And here is a pic of the scrap before I started shaping it.

Oooh, or a claw! Or a mini pole-arm!
(kiridashi is clearly a winning idea. I'd biru that sucker in a second. Or... nevermind, drilling hardened steel is no fun.)

exactly - hence the suggestion of heat and beat. ;)

OTOH, that would make an awesome mouse-killer axe head -- drill a stick and hammer the tang through it then file to a chisel point.
 
The piece is is far too thick for this, but if you leave that top curve alone and reshape what is left, I see a mini BK 21 emerging . . .
