Kydex Becker Necker Handle Mods !!!

[soup_monger]

Glad to hear you got a little necker. I got one a month ago and I wanted a fat handle for it to have a custom fit knife for whittling so I made one out of stabilized maple buckeye.
I stripped the coating with Nitromors and then sanded like a madman. I used black spacer material and stainless steel bolts and I also reshaped the choil and filled in the bottle opener space with a piece of brass. I hope the pictures show up.
Feel free to let me know what you think as this was my first custom project.

I'd say for your first custom project, you're displaying some pretty good knife modification talents. Man, that's a beauty-nice job! :thumbup:

Thanks Geegee, I enjoyed my first project with the Becker Necker but with no power tools and just a hand drill, the learning curve was pretty steep, I found the stabilised wood very hard to work with.
I am waiting on a Becker Crewman from Camillus (I had to return my first one as the grinds were so uneven)but, when it arrives I plan on modifying that too.
I'll try a progressive photo story this time rather than the "end result only" Necker photos.
