Here she is. Chris went and handled it for me in some brown and green micarta, which while I didn't want it, I kinda like. The shape is a bit different than the Becker scales, but it works very nicely, and since I have never tried micarta, it gives me a chance to see how I like it. Going to be more pics later on down the road, but tonight I have to get ready for the Gathering, so this will have to do for now.

O1 steel, 15.75" long overall, 10.375" blade, .25" thick, saber to convex ground. Weight, no clue, but it weighs a ton. A big sexy ton. Lovin it.

I'm pretty sure I don't like the handle. That thing looks like it wants Becker scales!
 
good lord but that's sweet!
If you end up hating the micarta - and they're not glued on, give me a holler when you go to get rid of them? :)
 
I actually like that handle. Looks different.

Mean looking blade, too. Looks like she wants to be used!
 
Looks like that'll be a workout to swing around! Looks mean, I could only imagine how much work goes into making a one off like this, great job!
 
Damn, that looks bad ass. Looks nice with the scales on it.

That is one Sexy large Becker inspired knife! Congrats!! I'm excitedly waiting for more pics.
 
Yup, they are epoxied on. Going to be a pain in the rear to remove if it comes to that. Honestly, might just keep them as is, maybe mess with shaping the micarta some more. That is of course if I don't like it. As heavy as this thing is, I worry the grivory wouldn't be tough enough to withstand what this thing will be going through. Now I am off to find a giant piece of cardboard and some duct tape so I can transport this thing without getting myself cut in twain.
 
Pretty sweet, man. Take down a small tree with one fell swoop.

Or better yet, use it to make a sandwich. I bet that sucker would spread the hell out of some peanut butter :thumbup:

Looking forward to seeing pics of it in action
 
POTATO!











That is all. And as high as I can count. Looks great, brother! Let us know how that bish works out after a nice flogging :eek:

If you end up not liking the handle color, you can always dye it. ;) BTW as you may have noticed from the BK2 sheath thread, there are plenty of us Becker heads that can help you with your sheathing needs. :thumbup: And regardless of who makes your sheath, I think it needs thick leather in the 10oz to 14oz range. ;)
