noticed something weird about my BK16

[hhmoore]

Odd...it looks like my BK16 has a hamon (no, I didn't do that - at least not intentionally)
I am going to remove the rest of the coating (or, at least bring it back to the scales)

Sometimes the stripper solution will add a patina to your blade.

For the record, I know it isn't a hamon - I stripped that knife a few years back, and it wasn't like that at the time. I've never used this one; just did the blade modification & put it away...and when I pulled it out to put on the micarta scales, I noticed the line. Just seemed like an odd way to patina in storage

 

[91bravo]

I got all kinds of funky lines on mine when I stripped them too. I ended up doing a light sanding of them all, so any marks or patina was sanded away.

Looking at it, I think I'm going to tweak the blade a little more; then send it to Al for a sheath. (I have one of his BK16 sheaths; but between the micarta and blade mod, this wouldn't be a good fit.

 

[hhmoore]

Not a major change from stock; but I like it.

I like the gentler drop!

That's pretty cool looking.

That's cool looking the way it is.

I need a sheath for my 16 too...who is "Al?"

 

[hhmoore]

Al is the sheath guy.
@azwelke

I've got a few of his sheaths (BK and others)...I can try to find, or take, Becker pictures later; but I'm carrying this one, so

 

[hhmoore]

A few others, including BK15 and BK16

(I'm not an orange kinda guy; but that's one of my dive knives, and I want to be able to find it if it gets away)

If u guys want a leather sheath,use Makael.
He's on Both Becker & Buck forums...Great work,Great Guy!

My knives tend to fall out of leather sheaths when I carry handle down, and I hate keeper straps.

You polish the micarta on these tweeners?

No , I just sanded them so they fit the tang of the knife. The black scales are the stock plastic

Cline Sheaths makes some nice looking leather for the BK16
