So about 2 or 3 weeks ago i got my Bk9. Didn't post because wanted to get the majority of the mods done so I could post everything. So, Here we go!
Just in from the factory, and added a lanyard:

Couple days later I went ahead and stripped it. Here the prep pic (ignore the weed stop in the background lol)

Sprayed stripper on both sides:

At first the coating didnt want to come off with scraping but after a second coat it was a little easier.

After the initial stripping, the blade had a residue on it, and it was darker on the flats. I sanded the residue of, but nonetheless I thought it looked cool having the flats darker, so that could be a future mod...

So next I ordered some stainless hardware from Dex, had a kydex sheath made, and then wrapped the handle. These are more "glam" type shots. Hoping to get some pics of it being put to use soon.
Blurry pic of the modded handle:

Has 2 holes drilled in the swivel belt loop, so it will ride lower on my belt if i want it to. So far im keeping it on the lower hole (as pictured) because having it lower on my belt makes it easier to draw

And last but definitely not least, my favorite "glam" shot, which showcases all of the current mods I've done.
