I decide to do a quick post on what I did to my BK-17 to make it more used friendly for me.

I removed one of the snaps and added a little bungee cord.
I like the pouch on the front. It is a great place to keep a firesteel. I added a piece of small diameter inner tube on the handle to make it a little gripier.
I filed the spine flat so it will strike a fire steel very aggressively.
I also filed the pommel round. This lets me comfortably use my palm to hammer on the knife.
I removed the black coating with paint stripper. I also filed the factory secondary bevel back to the angle of the original grind.
So far I have only used it hard for a couple of days but it is holding up well.
