Nothing earth shattering here, but made an animation to show the difference. Not lined up perfect, but gives you the idea none the less.

Cool.

So you're telling me: Buy the BK16 because if you have a grinder you have options. :D
 
First of all, I think you are on to something with the animation! Looks like they are using the same initial blank. Great way to maximize value.

Second, question. What software did you use for the animation??? Nicely done!
 
That is just a GIF image, and can be made with any image editing software out there. I usually use GiMP when I do it (poor mans photoshop :)).

This is something I had actually noticed back on the protos, that they were exactly the same knife just with a different grind. Then we found out the 16 will be FFG, and I mentioned that it is another way to differentiate the three tweener models, as they now have entirely different personalities and grinds :).

Either way though, nice work man, and I love it with the "Tan" handles on there :).
 
Nice illustration. That would make a cool screen saver if you did that with the entire Becker lineup, with the Machax at the end.
 
the gimp now has the liquid rescaling tool. that's amazing when used well :)
 
If I would have taken the time to line it up properly, it wouldn't have appeared to be breathing, lol. Just the end would have moved.
