My First Becker Blade

[BA_Colt]

Nice. I want to make fancy wood scales for it.

Tommy The Who scales are available on eBay at prices that make it practical to just buy them . I have 2 sets both are great. I get about an hour and a quarter OT starting early to do paperwork that more than covers a set . I can't make them myself in an hour

How do you like it?

Just got it at noon. Haven’t had the chance to really use it. It is front heavy, but for it’s purpose that is good for me. The scales are slippery but I do have small hands.

I should have no problem making something to fit. Heck I made a gun stock to fit.

looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the wood.

Congratulations. The 21 is a wonderful chopper. The wood chips fly when you snap cut and the sweet spot is Huge!!!!

I haven't learned to Love mine yet....?

I've played with a variety of scales on mine, currently aftermarket orange G10 ones....but they seem thin. I added spacers, but still.

Like you said, it's very front heavy.
I just need to learn how to swing it!

No doubt that you can.

I bet that 21 weighs 5x as much as that sickle.

 

[Roguer]

Micarta might be a better working handle.

Excellent choice BA_Colt
