Hi,
I love my BK7, but it simply wasn't Bowie enough for my taste. This is how it looks now, stripped, re-shaped and gun-blued.

I like it, and those are some good pics, there.

Bet it would look good with the thumbramp gone. :D

By the way, could someone recommend a good commercially available sheath for the BK7? I'm not so fond of the original sheath.
 
Nice. The BK-7 is the last Becker I'll probably add to my collection, but pics like those are making it difficult to resist. I love the blued look.
 
Ooooohhhhhh daaaaaaaaamn! Nice!!

And you guys talking about taking the ramp off... you shut your wh*** mouths!
 
Now thats a Sexy BK7!! I like clip points. I've done it to a machete or two and Yum! Maybe I should buy my self a new BK9 and do that to it.
 
I like that! I bought my BK7 specifically to be able to do some mods to it. I'll probably flatten the swedge right where the blade is the widest, but I like that you kept a bit of it on there. What did you use to reprofile it?
 
Nice! I love the 7...always have! That's a pretty deep clip you've cut there...I like it. Very stabby lookin.
