Just another rehandle thread. And my First Sheath. NEW PICS!!

[jarodmichael]

I got bored and my first Becker, the OG Necker needed some love after I stripped its scales and gave them to the new guy. I had some spare Aboyna burl scales laying around so without further ado.

Materials:

Pins (copper conduit):

Attached:

Almost set:

Will update after the sanding!!

 

[FAL'ER]

That copper should be nice and soft if you were thinking of peening your pins over a little.

Oh yeah, I am. I epoxied them in place and now gettin ready to peen and sand!

 

[Psyop]

Wow that is sweet. Will you cut it out so the opener still works?

 

[EK20]

That is going to look fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[jarodmichael]

Nope, covering up the opener and filling the end with epoxy.

Peened down.

 

[chogue1980]

excited to see finished product, a little sad though that you are getting rid of the bottle opener, I use that feature the most when camping with friends.........

 

[Snakedoc]

Looking good Brother! Love the copper.

Note: this is not my only bk11. My edc is a bk11 with saint cutlery scales that allow use of said bottle opener. I always have that on me.

Shaping up nicely

 

[crimsonfalcon07]

Looking good. Enjoying watching the progress. Are you gonna try to do any texturing or 3D shaping, or just round the edges?

 

[jarodmichael]

A little uneven, but comfy.

Sexy pictures to come tomorrow. Might try to get the sheath done this week!

 

[FAL'ER]

Sexy like, you might get your hot wife in the picture holding this knife or sexy like, knife porn. Those turned out bitchen by the way.

 

[clich]

Very very nice jarod. Well done

 

[jarodmichael]

I might try to talk the Mrs into a photo, but she will most likely say no. But definitely knife pron. Oh yes... there will be pron.

And thanks clich. They are a little uneven, but feel amazing and not too shabby for my first shot if I say so myself!

 

[The Warrior]

Those look awesome Jarod. Very nice work sir.

thanks!

 

[ThePointyEnd]

Looking good :thumbup:

with the bottle opener covered up like that, it kinda reminds me of a tweener.

 

[paperairplane]

I don't bother with the opener, I just use the back of the blade, lever against my finger and pop it off - kind of like using a Bic lighter.

 

[trailbum]

Those turned out great.

 

[Stark Knives]

Really nice job!
What did you use to sand them and make them shiny?

Looking forward to the pics!
