Becker needs to talk with you about turning a few...thousand of them out.
I'd dig it even more with a higher grind, but that's me.
As is, I'd be interested @ some point.

Apparently there was a bit of an accident involving the first one and a belt sander, so this is the MKII. Heat treat today hopefully.

No idea on finish, probably satin or something similar. Grivory is the route I am taking, hence why they are becker shaped handles. Sheath, no idea, don't have the knife yet. All the pics I have are in this thread, Chris hasn't finished it yet. I am *REALLY* hoping he can get it done in the next couple of weeks though so I can take it to the gathering.

That thing looks like a beast. Can't wait till you have some pictures of that badboy chopping up some wood.

 

[Bladite]

neat i hope it's at least 3/8 inch thick, maybe 1/2 :>

suddenly i'm reminded that i should see about cutting a BK77 down to a BK10

 

[tradewater]

How excited about it are you. I mean, that's NICE.

 

[willworship]

I'm really impressed with how quickly you get going with your ideas. First the sheath container mod, and now this. Awesome stuff, Derek!

 

[Flexxx]

Lookin good Derek, cant wait to see it finished...

 

[TheGame]

Still anticipating this one in use. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

 

[DerekH]

Per Chris this morning, there is a very good chance this will be ready before the Gathering...

 

[tradewater]

Make it happen.

 

[DerekH]

This morning's updates show the knife being very close to completion.

 

[The Warrior]

Damn dude, that thing is a freakin ' beast. Really coming together nicely. Looking forward to the finished product. :thumbup:
