My Becker BK7 mods

I used a round file to carve the handle grooves.
I used a Dremmel tool & grinding wheel to cut out the choil in the blade.
Almost a Busse now!! Lol.
What a poorboy wont do to make a good knife.

It looks great. Is there any chance you could post bigger pictures? thanks.

how did you keep from ruining the heat treat with the dremel?

 

[Cutshaw]

I'm just guessing, but the dremel tends to localize the heat to a small area being effected.

I would think there would be a danger of damaging the heat treatment, but only to the non-cutting area of the choil and maybe a lil bit at the terminator of choil to edge.

Who knows? The mods do look cool though. Nice job! :thumbup:

Damb fine looking mods there Rowdy! You did a great job on that Becker. It has a great look now. :thumbup:

 

[MEatVT]

forgive my ignorence, but how does the choil effect the performance of the tool? i have often wondered that.

 

[rowdy27]

It lets ya choke up on the blade for fine work & nice balance.
Thanks all. I posted it to show y'all should never fear adding your own touches to a knife to improve its fit.
