....she was begging for it. As well as some micarta. :D I always say, "I'm leaving the finish alone this time" but it never happens.

So now when they set beside one another, I'm wondering....should the newly found BK6 get naked too?

I'll probably end up stripping my 4. Be down the road though. The 17 is definitely going to get it.
 
Dont strip the 6, hell if I had a 6 I wouldnt even use it... Meh, everyones got their own ideas and opinions.
 
Strip it, make it yours! Knives are meant to be used. You will be surprised at how little grind marks there are. Or send it to me, I'll dual wield when the zombies come.
 
I love seeing most of the Becker knives stripped, especially anything not FFG that can really be "two toned" with etching. Although, as daunting (to me) as the BK6 seems I'm sure it will fit right in with all of your best and brightest.
 
I would save the BK6. I have stripped older Beckers, and there is always a feeling of "there aren't that many of these out there" in the back of my mind.
And I just stripped a Camillus BK7...so what do I know.
