Bullet-resistant? Yes, Becker-resistant,err...no...

[james terrio]

am I the only one that feared for the blade being shot at? lol

Nope! It's been done before with Beckers. There are at least a couple vids on youtube of people doing exactly that. The short version is, it's pretty easy to bust the handle scales with a bullet... but not very easy to break the blade with one. :thumbup:

If you like Finnish knives, look at what Finn soldiers made of downed Soviet aircraft sheetmetal.
Amazing works of engraved aluminum scabbards.

I had not heard of those, but I will look them up

As others have mentioned, the idea of putting a cool photo under clear scales works well, too. :thumbup: If you ask around in the Traditional subforum, there are folks who can show you many examples from many decades ago... some of which are rather risque' (pinup girls and stuff like that)
