Now it's here...modding the sheath...

[Semper Praesidio]

I asked you guys for some help recently choosing from among the 4, 9, and 16. Well, happened into some more consulting work and had some extra "cash" in the form of an Amazon gift card. Time for my first tweener...



Tuesday seems so VERY far away....

In the meantime, got any favorite pics of your 16's?

 

[NCSlice]

Alright! You're certain to be pleased with that purchase! My wife has confiscated mine and I even made her pink liners so its official. Thats ok, Ill carry a 15 anyway. Congrats man!

 

[Silver Needle]

Money well spent! I heart my 16.

Check out the 16 pic thread if you haven't already, there are a lot of good pics there.

 

[BeeKayNutCase]

Just because you asked bud, I'll happily abide.



Here's mine with a small fire kit that I cram into the front pocket. The black stuff is char cloth. Scales are from TKC. But as the illustrious silver needle has mentioned there are heaps of magnificent pics in the BK16 thread. Some of which are waaay better than mine (but I'm sure you've already scoped it out).

Congrats on the purchase Semper. You WILL love this knife. It will make you love it.

Congrats! I've said this so many times it's just gotten boring... but the BK-16 is one of my favorite production knives ever. No mods required. I keep mine on one strap of a small weekend backpack with a Leatherman Blast in the pocket.

Ahh it's that kinda thread now, eh? I'll play!
Wife took my 16...so I made some liners from a thrift store rubbermaid utility drawer divider. Bad lighting but its a pinkish coral. Looks a lot better on the knife than I thought. Not so pinky when its just a little line around the black.

I remembered seeing this before, but I had forgotten about it and now I'm really glad I saw it again. There's got to be a good story behind this, right?

But as the illustrious silver needle has mentioned there are heaps of magnificent pics in the BK16 thread.

Ha! Illustrious indeed.

And by next Tuesday, they meant this Wednesday.

Woohoo! 6 days early? I'd take that any day. Enjoy!

He is! He stays about 7-10' away no matter where you are. Follows like a puppy but keeps his distance. It's funny. They're really big babies, all puffed up but you go after them and they half heartedly try to get away, like a quick walk not even run.
