Sure... Since this is my FIRST ever custom its not for sale but if you ship me yours I can def mod it out.

Yep, IMO the handle is definetly better now than out of the box.

You did a nice job on that Cam.

 

[C_Tanner]

Almost as nice as a similar job I did in my mind....

I've been thinking about the same mod. After seeing this beauty, I may have to give it a go.

I always admired the mod mtngoat from BCUSA did on his Remora. He ground the guard off, and made some wood scales for it.

Thats kinda cool, I've thought about putting pins in the handle for some extra security but I dont wanna ruin the pattern on the micarta. The epoxy I used is gererally OK and for the kinda abuse you'd put on a remora I think it should be fine.

Go for it, the BK-13 is a cool little knife for a first project.

Beautifully done, Cam. The micarta-sheath combo makes that little convexed bad boy a perfect hideout/utility blade.

A word of warning though, micarta is annoyingly tough stuff! Try using wood of G-10 first to get the feel. It bummed me out when I first started this and realised how hard the micarta was.

Hey Dan, unfortunatly it it pretty damn illegal here to EDC a blade (you just might get away with it if you were a construction worker or something...)! Maybe if someone in the states had one they could tell me how well it worked in that catagory? I wonder if people would like this one in blaze orange as a emergency knife hmmm... Thanks for looking bud.
