Well, its been a work in progress for a bit of time now and I'm finally finished (until you guys come up with something else spectacular that I HAVE to do...... which I'm sure you will). At any rate, mods are pretty light..... Stripped and polished, jimped with a dremel, RIT dye the micarta scales and polished them up just a bit with some lin-speed, and topped it off with a modular sheath (that exceeded my expectations) from Brian (GOOSE).

Thanks a bunch for all the inspiration.... now time for the next BK....

Nice work! What did you use to make the handle on your fire starter. It looks like bone or ivory.

Stag?

Looks great! The whole setup!

What color dye did you use?

The Dye I used was the black. I didnt have em in it for long as i didnt want it to be too dark. When I removed them and let them dry they were really "dry" looking.... very washed out looking. So I put some lin-speed on em and it brought back some of the depth.

I would recommend it. Seems to give me more control.

How sharp is the jimping on the 16, I have never seen factory jimping to be very sharp, except for a few exceptions.
