File Work on a Becker?

[Axisjoe]

Hey guys I am a bit of a custom file work fan. I haven't been here too long but I have yet to see a Becker with any on it. Other than jimping I have yet to see any. I am debating wether or not to do some on the tang of my 7. What arr your thoughts and if you have any pics please share. Thanks
This is my first and only try at it on a leatherman skeletool

look up SleepyBadger's posts...he does some great file work on Beckers.

File that under Good Job.

Haha I see what you did there. I think you should go for it! The only thing is, the camillus Beckers are really hard and the file might just skate.

Ok, thanks everyone.

Skull crusher?!?! WTH!?!?!

Crush a lot of skulls do you?

Joe, that file work looks great, I say do it to you 7's handle, but I would use a colored filler to keep debris and dirt out. Also, the edges of the micarta that fit against the steel, will be sharp.

Pic your favorite color, and fill it in. Some kind of colored resin would work great.

I really like what you've done with your 2. How did you do your scales? What did you use?

soldering iron to stipple them, then sprayed it with Chevy orange engine paint....then a lil time with the belt sander.

A few of my attempts at becker filework...

If you want to see real high level filework, look up TM Hunt.
