Custom Becker Ideas

[The Warrior]

I supose if you reprofiled it to a FHC and then flattened that out. I like the sabre grinds though, but with the new lazer evgravings FFG Beckers are a possibility.

Yeah, I know. I started a thread on it, remember? http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...king-Laser-BK2-With-Full-Flat-Grind-(Mock-Up)

How do you feel about the 9's blade shape?

I smoothed out that top corner, remember?

Yeah, sorry again to The Warrior about that FFG thing and C_Tanner for forgetting his BK-9 mod.

I was going to have that done, when I got my 2 clipped, but they said it would be hard to do. Not impossible, just hard.

yeah, literally 'hard', like the steel.
It takes a seriously sharp belt with stamina (think Norton Blaze 60-grit or coarser!) to grind that much surface evenly, to depth, and enough to do both of those big-arse bevels on a soft knife, let alone a hardened one.

Of course if you DID do it, you could then throw it on a zirconia 120g and get a decent machine finish pretty fast.

I wonder from a practical standpoint, if an FFG BK2 would even be worth it really. It would be interesting to see one done for sure. Makes me wonder what the grind would look like next to the ricasso.

There was a video by a guy who sent his BK-2 to bark river for a full height convex regrind but its gone now, pretty simmilar imo but the video was taken down anyway . Remember KISS...keep it sabre stupid!

Yeah, that guy was a tosser anyways. Made all his vids private, probably because he is a tosser.

I'm holding out for a BK9 with a plastic, hollow handle and a big bubble compass on the cap. Make it out of 420 Molecular Steel and grind a bottle opener on the back.

So Cam, are you gonna award a prize to whoever's design you decide to go with??????

 

[brewcitymike]

LMAO, You one crazy a$$ scallywag brotha. AAARRR!!

12" bladed BK5 would be a Pirates wet dream.

Count me in on that one.

Maybe, I think I said in the original post that I might make the best one...We'll see what happens from there.

I saw those selling for like 70 bucks at a camping shop hahaha, thats Kangaroo land for you.

That commercial is older than me I actually got the camo one when I was 5 which would have been '88. At first I thought it said that the commercial was from 1980 which made me wonder how they were so popular 2 years before First Blood came out, but now I see that it says 80's so it is probably mid-80's. I'm glad I was able to use my swift mind to solve that conundrum

@ C_Tanner
Good One!

i'm still holding out for a bk2 with a 14in blade.

That would be freaky...Its possible though to get a Ka-Bar grass machete and modify that. Grind down the point a bit and change the handle.

 

[CamH_16]

What about a BK9 grinded into a wharnie It would be a Becker version of the Ka-bar Pestilence chopper...or something.

Damn this things been growing on me, I can imagine it with black,white and blaze orange G-10 and gun blue on the flats (the side not the bevel)...How does that sound?

You dont have a spare BK-9 you can lend me do you?
