Firesteel - cocobolo handles and Becker!

[MArathonman]

I took a shot at some 3/8" x 4" firesteel to match my cocobolo Becker. What do you think?

Thanks!

I need to do a handle on my misch metal steel as well, would you mind describing your process on how you went about it. I gots me an idea, I just want to see if its close. I am thinking about doing a leatherstack handle on mine. Moose

Moose,

If you go to YouTube and see my Becker BK video, and look for a video response, you'll see an excellent video of how to do it!

That is a crack up! I wanted marathonman as a YouTube screen name but it was already taken. Well, I like mountain trail running even more than marathon running anyway

I made that video about a year and dozens of BK grips ago. I've really got a good system now. Thanks for the nice comments!

Those are some good looking firesteels you have there. I love that they match your knife handles.

Is it me or does EVERYTHING look good in Cocobolo?

Sah-weet. I ordered myself some cocobolo for my BK-2 and 11 a couple days ago. Also going to try my hand at making some leather sheaths for them.

Went with these slabs:
