1066vik how does your muk perform

since it's the only 'muk pattern I have, all I can say is it cuts things -- don't know if it does it better than other versions of the pattern or not. works great for food prep, although due to thickness of the blade, there is significant "wedging action" going on when cutting rigid veggies like potato or carrot.

Thanks vik for the info

All this talk about the 10s release is just depressing me since i don't have one to play with while i wait for the re-release!

 

[mrn8]

I'll be refreshing Tomars page constantly from now to the end of the month. Can't wait to have a BK10 again.

I love mine. It's one of my favorite knives.

Thanks. That's actually the photo I used to make my sig. Cut it out of the photo, tilted it, and reduced the size.

I bought this from Andy Roy, of Fiddleback Forge. He made it.

Oh man, they do awesome work. I've been eyeing fiddlebacks for a while now. I really like the bushcrafter...and just about everything else.

Yes they do. I actually found a thread once from 2006 where Andy made the sheath, stripped the blade, and added the micarta to it. Thought it was pretty cool: http://www.ramanon.com/forum/showthread.php?40967-Customizing-my-Becker-BK10

 

[GarnetandBlack]

thats a cool thread to see the WIP from all those years ago :thumbup:

that knife looks great indeed

 

[5thAngel]

Hey guys,

I found this knife on the ground at a campout,

Its a Senor El' Cheapo knife, they were selling it for $10, and my brother says its made of aluminum or stainless grade steel.
The blade is 5 inches and a half inches long

Total 10 Inches.

It is not a skeletal frame, and I have not had a chance to take the rope off to show you guys, but its just a rectangle of "Metal".
Here is the sheath, its horrible quality, and does not even have a belt loop.

So can I use it for anything practical at all?

If so, What?


If not...

I might make it into a decorative knife, for Indian clothing, until I can afford a real knife to mod.
So wooden scales, or maybe early micarta.
If wooden scales, I might put a cross guard on it.
And a leather sheath.

Thanks for Reading.

Gently spreading jams or butter on toast. (although significant dulling may occur)
Holding papers down during inclement weather.
It looks like it could open a beer.
Plenty of practical things to do.

Seriously though, if you plan on modding in the future why not use that to see how to do it. Grinding on that and messing up wont matter as much as a "good" knife. Or you could just throw it at trees.

Throw it at people IN trees.

Sorry. I've been sick with a stomach bug the past few days.

It's sad that I noticed that it's one key to the right. I am on the computer way too much.
