  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Post your Becker knives pics here

Slightly recurved the blade, mustard and vinegar patina (factory coating under the scales), handles are red oak
These are the second set of handles I made for this knife (only the third set I've ever made) and were only meant for practice. I was going to replace 'em with some hickory or apple but I'm kinda diggin' 'em.

Oh yes... The Red Oak is nice. Also, the recurve 16 reminds me of a mini BK1 brute.

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

It's a lot lighter and slicier now. I put in some liners but the handle still is about 1mm slimmer than before, which is really nice too. Handlewise, it feels like a BK-9, which I like a lot.

I am in the process of shortening the blade a little by drawing the point down to achieve a sort of nessmuk-style blade shape.
 
Before the 9 was stripped and rampless (also before the 14 and 16 were stripped and modded):
