Hey guys,
I am looking for a knife, that I can turn into a Native American style knife for Regalia (Native American clothes), I am currently looking at a BK-16/17. Stripped, blued and given wood grips, and a leather sheath, I am open to suggestions for other knives. Whatever I get will need to be blued, does anyone on here strip and blue knives? If so, how much?

Thank You

Yeah the BK-5 and BK-15 are very much like modern versions of the old historical "roach belly" trade knives.

They're my favorites.

Bk5 or 15 would get my vote. I haven't sen that project in a while Silverthorn. One of the best mods of a 15 I've ever seen. Beauty.
 
I did a similar modification to a 15 and it came out great! The 15 takes well to a classic look, these pics were pre-polish on the scales

Those are beautiful! a 5 or 15 would definitely get my vote! Beautiful lines and tough as nails!
 
wow, those are the two sweetest lookin 15's ive ever seen. Love the scales and the finishes on both. :thumbup:
 
Look around for Cold Steel's Red River knives, which replicated several authentic historic patterns. They're no longer in production but you should be able to find one. I re-handled several as gifts and keep the elk skinner model in our picnic kit. They're all Carbon V steel, excellent cutters.
