Pictures of customized Kabars

I don't have one, curious if anyone out there does.

Im guessing you mean the regular USMC type Ka-bar?

Or do you mean ANY customized Ka-bar knife?

I'm going to get a Famine Tanto and customize the heck out of it. I haven't seen anyone do that before...

Isn't there a thread somewhere about customized Ka-Bars already?

I've got a modified War Sword, but other than that I really don't have any modded non-becker Kabars. Then again, I've only got two Kabars that aren't Beckers, so I guess its not that surprising.

Here is the thread I made for the War Sword.

The main mod is the bluejean micarta, and a slight reshaping of the handle (made the mid handle point less prominent, and made the top of the thumb ramp less sharp on the webbing of my thumb when I choke up).

Really nice mods, Dave and Logan!

Found a couple other examples of customized/modded Ka-Bars just doing some googling:

BK11, I had this done a couple years ago by K9 Handler. Blade is blasted, handle and sheath is duracoated. Dual jimping. I added the scales and firesteel later.

BK14, i removed the guard to get a better grip and be able to choke all the way up to the edge, and i stonewashed the blade as well. Etching was done by Zulu!

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuthin' to F' with! :thumbup:

Honestly, if we are going to open the discussion up to ALL Ka-Bars that include Beckers, we might as well just link to the 33 page thread in the Becker forum.
