Perhaps not as slicey as a ffg, but I think the BK16 in the saber would have sold more than the ffg, based on looks alone.
I've been looking at a Kellykettle a couple of times. What size is it? How do you like it? How's it to carry after burning it? Much soot on the outside?
In a couple of weeks, I get to head out to the woods for a few days, it has been way too long. I plan on making this beast earn its keep.
Oh...I forgot to show one of the best things about this knife! The sheath. This is a Sagewood crossdraw sheath with a Julio Diez(710) dangler attachment. I really love the Kydex retention strap that Sagewood uses. The knife is very secure. I’m not crazy about crossdraw’s, so at BeckerWest Julio attached his danger. Man, this is a sweet setup!
Thanks man, I like it a lot. It took 4 makers/designers* to get it here, but I really dig the finished product. *Ka-Bar, Ethan Becker, Sagewood, & the incomparable Julio Diez.
What it looks like to sandblast with the factory handles on. Leaves a nice and clean outline. The coating is intact underneath the scales, so no worry of corrosion! Thanks again for the wonderful gift @Tanker 1/66! It's well on it's way to looking like yours!
Very clean,you just need to plug the lanyard hole next time definitely a nice way to do it if one has access to a sandblaster if not paint remover with a little care can do to just not as clean
You can't see that part with the scales on. Tomar's micarta is perfect fitting every time and are tan in color. Any other place I've ordered the Becker micarta, they ended up being green micarta and always had to sand a bit to get the perfect fit. Nevermind the oil spots on the blade. The sandblast finish is beautiful in person, just ask @Pàdruig! I think it will look a little better once I take some fine steel wool to it. Now, I want to etch something on the blade. MTM's Cricut machine can pretty much cut out anything that I can save to a file.
