I have a feeling it's being made.

Geez, i can almost feel the money leaving my wallet already

 

[Mighty1]

BK2+!!!

Thanks Warrior, they look great.

 

[The Warrior]

I'm not a fan of Tantos either but that BK Tanto is a must have!!!!

That's the way I look at it too. Not a fan, but there are many who are. I purposely made the blade upswept. I don't like the straight bladed tantos too much.

Geez, i can almost feel the money leaving my wallet already

Haha, it's being made by an individual, not KA-BAR.

BK2+!!!

Thanks Warrior, they look great.

Thanks, very much appreciated.

Nice looking pics you whipped up there Dubz! Don't really see anything there to give you a hard time about, so I suppose you get a pass... this time...

Haha, thanks. Have a few more made up, and several ideas for more. Just takes the time to do them. Crap, gotta go to work...

 

[dallastxco]

They all look awesome.
May I suggest a minimalist design from BK&T. Sort of like the ColdSteel Finn Bear with the becker attitude.

 

[MrKnifekid]

Yea, a 20" OAL monstrosity seems to be what's requested.

I second that!

Damn you! You get my hopes up and then you ruin my life!

 

[Bladite]

someone's been busy :>

 

[Skystorm]

I'll take a 20" machax, plus one of each of the others.

 

[Widerstand]

Can you make a hookless BK3?

I was just about to ask you to whip up a straight edged one...

 

[crimsonfalcon07]

Did a couple cardboard cutouts of a 20" machax and a BK16 with bottle opener.

The machax needs a bit more body in the thinnest part; I had an issue cutting it out of my cardboard and lost a bit on that curve, since the BK11 wanted to cut more of a curve there than I wanted it to.

If Ethan doesn't mind, I'm probably going to make these (not for sale, or anything, just for fun and to have something to tide me over til I can buy the real stuff).

If you can fix that belly, shorten the swedge some and gimme a thumb ramp sign me up for one too. And the extended skull cracker

 

[GRIM 62]

Bk2+BK9,that would be something if it were made of .25" stock!

Where would you put a thumb ramp? From handling this cutout, the only thing I think would work is a thumb detent. A full on ramp seems like it would be uncomfortable.

 

[The Warrior]

Guys, I may get around to doing a larger machax, etc. But for now, I have a lot of ideas I need to release out of my head, haha.

Can you make a hookless BK3?

I actually did some time ago: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/833133-BK3-Design-Mod

Here are the renderings. Normal:

Without hook:

Hook closer to the end:

I may. I was going to do a tweener version as well.

Bk2+BK9,that would be something if it were made of .25" stock!

I think it would be better at .188. .25 would be a heavy mother.

You are a wiz with this sort of stuff but the BK2+ is by FAR my favorite Beckerlike fantasy design I've ever seen you or anyone else do. I think I'd be willing to trade my actual BK2 for one.

Without hook:

Oooooh..... Do you think you could do this with the serrations reversed? I mean, serrations on the plain edge portion and plain edge on the serrated portion. That would sell me on the BK3 for sure.
