my FPR-BK16 Thread. From opening box to MODDING!!!

[thrillbilly]

so I got back home today, there waiting for me was my BOX... couldnt wait to rip it open and get my mitts on the knife inside!


without further ado...here she is!













*drumroll*

Decided there was no way in God's green Earth I was gonna sell or collect this blade...so it hit the stripper today!

Either the coating is different then on my 2, or the stripper works WAY better when it's 75 instead on 27! My 2 took over and hour to strip, and I had to sand and wirebrush stubborn spots. The 16 sit for 7 minutes and it ALL scraped off with a plastic scraper. Same can of stripper.

Bladite griped about my not cutting anything...so

I intend to use this as a hunting knife not a wood knife... so I didnt get too carried away with the chopping and batoning LOL

the PB-Grips camo in almost perfectly with the right terrain

I noticed, but I don't usually give men compliments on their shoes.

Nice 16, though. Mines supposed to arrive today, finally. I'm excited.

Wow, awesome pics, man, thanks for sharing! Like so many others, I can't wait, I will probably order oer of these limited ones for a little more money, just so I can have one sooner! I especially love the pic on the sleeping cat, btw! Maybe ill do one on a dog when I get mine, you know "let sleeping dogs lie...," haha! Anyways, love the tweeners, the sheath looks great, hell, even the box looks super nice, classy, even: clean lines, nice design. Top to bottom, these knives just kick ass! Great job Ethan, Tooj, Ka-Bar, & everyone who was involved! These blades are destined to be classics, in my opinion.
