BK14 grivory

[Moosez45]

if you guys really want this, do like i just did and take a second to email kabar and let them know that this would be a good idea! the more inquiries they get into it, the better the possibility of getting it to be come reality!

here, ill even link you to the contact page:
https://www.kabar.com/contact.jsp

Kabar monitors this site quite often. Toooj, Ethan, and a nameless someone check in almost daily. They've seen this thread. Promise. Feel free to email them though, it never hurts.

BK14 CCW package - include a low profile grivory scale and TDI clip....

I'd take a set, also. Just make sure they go to the end of the handle and not stop short like the izula handles.

Totally agree on this point. I have an Izula II and like it alot, but prefer the blade of the BK14. Adding grivory scales would make it just that more useful and be consistent with Becker/kabar products as well. My thought process: Grivory scales for the BK14, then get Moose to make me a thick leather sheath for it to match the BK2 sheath I got from him several months ago. Knife dreams!

All,

I have SLA prototypes of BK-14 handle scales on my desk. Can't say too much except; "I have SLA prototypes of BK-14 handle scales on my desk".

Wow, now I feel like I actually had a really good idea for one of my knives. Only, obviously, WAY after the experts had that same idea. I can actually see my ego deflating in the mirror. Oh well, this is still the most productive thread I have ever started. Now I am really looking forward to grivory for my bk14, Tooj!

Good work to all! Now not only do I have tweeners to save for, but grivory scales and a 14 to put them on.... and how exactly am I supposed to buy fuel to get to the woods!?

 

[upnorth]

Love the idea. I hope that they aren't too thick and lumpy and ruin the original flush\flat design.

 

[abolt2]

count me in too.

 

[Sh@rp]

It got to be awesome!!!

 

[Flying Guillotine]

Nice, looking forward to seeing what comes up

I think glow-in-the-dark ones would be cool.

Actually. Stingray skin handles, that's what I want. Ones that glow in the dark.
