My BK-2 looks good after she took her black coat off

[Jonny1280]

O.K...So I stripped my BK-2 last week and had full plans on putting a high polish on her.
Could'nt decide on that or maybe Clich'n this bad boy.
But after I stripped it I noticed that the machine markings on the bare blade look pretty awesome.
I think I'll leave it like this. It almost seems like this is what a BK-2 should look like.

What do you guys think??

I wanna see some massive customizing on this guy !

Looks good. That's what I like on my Beckers too, leave the flats pretty much alone after stripping and bring the bevel up a bit with some progressive sanding. I just did it to my BK-9, working on some liners for it and when they are done I will post up some pics.

Love it as-is!

What are you using for liners?

What are you using for liners?

XBOX game case. You know, the usual. I am also gonna make a kelly green lanyard for it and call it a 'Becker Zombie Knife' haha.

Are your scales grivory? I think that green and black combo would look cool.

They are!! I agree, I love black and green.

Looks good man. I'd keep it bare and use the hell out of it and let it get a natural patina :thumbup:

looks nice..... I like it. I dont think I would etch that one either

 

[Murphnuge]

I admire the etchings done by many here, but I prefer to leave mine bare after stripping.

Me too! My BKZ-7.

Same here. Too late to go back once it's done. I did have in mind to do an etching though. I read about it some time back on the tomahawk thread.

Me too! My BKZ-7.

That looks nice.

Me too! My BKZ-7.

Exactly what I'm going for! Nice rig bro.

 

[flipaldinho]

Well stripped. Now you should try some crazy etch technique I have been hearing about...

 

[Stark Knives]

That looks great! How did you leave the flats dark but the grind polished?

The flats are dark because they have'nt been machined. The grind looked that way after stripping. I hit it with some 180 grit for about a minute and decided I liked it how it was.
