Had a good mail day yesterday, both the scales I won from Kryptoglow (thanks again Krypto!) and a new fiftweener from Tomars showed up! I decided the krypto scales looked better on my 17 so I ended up swapping and putting micarta on the fifteen. I gave some thought to what I think Moose said in a post I read a week or so ago. He said something along the lines of how nobody gives a new Becker a chance beforewe strip, patina, re-sharpen it etc. I thought that was a good point, certainly in my case he's correct. So I made the decision to let the new 15 be for the most part, at least for a while. So far I've put micarta scales on, stropped, and put some pcb on the logo. I'm excited to see how it performs mostly stock. I have to say, with just a little stropping the edge is razor sharp.

Man those blue scales look great.. I may have to get some for my 11... I love blue...
 
That micarta is some good looking stuff. I didn't think I'd like the Kyptos when I first saw them, but the pics you took really do them some electron justice, LOL Thanks for posting them!!

And to comment on your re-iteration of what Moose said; I agree 100%. I stripped my 2 on the first day I had it. Since then all my other BK's are completely stock and I like them like that. I will conceed that everyday I consider stripping my 14 (my most carried knife these days) but I always balk at the idea. I would like to eventually square the spine a bit and add some jimping, but I'm a horrible DIYer. LOL I'd f it up!
 
Micarta ones came from Tomars. Dyed them with red RIT liquid and cut out liners from flexi cutting board.
