Just showin off some mods!

I ground the finger guard down to follow the lines of the scales. I cut a choil in but then the thumb ramp was in the way so I ground that down half way. Might flatten it out but ill decide after some use.

Very impressive, I like it!!!

I like the look of the half-ramp better than flattening it out completely; let me know how it works out!
 
Looking real good. You got a nice collection building over there. If I ever become famous or a YouTube sensation ill sign that bk2 for ya ;)
 
Excellent job on the choil. Did the same to my BK7 the first day I got it. Did the thumb ramp bother you? It didn't seem to bug me while I was chopping the other day. Seen a bunch cut it down. I think it looks cool. If it digs into my finger it'll come off, but until then.
 
Thanks for all the comments guys! Ill post my BK9 when I am done with it too.

It wouldnt get in the way for chopping because I hold it near the end of the handle. When I am actually using the choil for finer stuff it when the ramp got in the way. Just felt awkward.

I might just have you sign it now! I really like the first gen BK2, talk about a beast! Feels like im holding a battleship.
 
That's looks really nice. I like the choil quite a bit although I've never been much of a choil user

I didnt think I liked them either until I tried in on my BK9. I dont like the big choils so these are perfect.
 
Nice looking knife, L4NE4. Now I want a BK-7 to mod. This hobby is very quickly starting to get expensive. :D
 
Watching this thread!!!

These mods are *AWESOME*!!! I also really like the patina/finish on your BK2 - looks great!
 
Thanks guys. That "patina" is an etch done with gun blue and bleach. Search for it, Clich did a how to thread on how to do it. Pretty simple but since its an etch it is permanent!
 
Btw I can do any of these mods for fellow Becker lovers. Just pay shipping. I'm running out of mods to do on mine.
