Finished the BK-15 sheath today, and decided to take some pics. The Tuko scales on the 17 are not done justice by the pic, where they are smaller than standard scales, the tang sticks out about 1mm all around and looks gorgeous with the tan of the bone micarta scales.

Sorry for your loss Tanker, stop by Wednesday with something to lift your spiritsI lost my 16 on my recent adventure so I've been working on this 2 to carry. I picked this up from @bladesmith3 awhile back. I dropped the whole spine some more, worked down the scales, put a 15° secondary convexed edge with a 20° convexed primary. I love this combo on thick blades. 90° spine, and then choiled it. It's down to 12.9 oz. I'm still going to strip the blue off ( Sorry blacksmith 3) and put some kind of a patina on it.

Thanks milkyeye, waited awhile only needed a 16 but grabbed the set as in better condition than my current, so you looking for a 1st production 15 ?That made me jealous right there. Congrats on obtaining that set. I'm still on the lookout for a BK15.
Now that's a good looking family reunion nutoSorry for your loss Tanker, stop by Wednesday with something to lift your spirits
Been Looking for a 1st Production 16 for a few years now with no luck then the Hat Trick falls in my lap
Always better to keep eyes open as you never know where you will find a 1st Production Tweener set of Pristine beckers,
Figured I would find a 16 sooner than later but that never happened and A Fellow Beckerhead comes to the Front as he has to let his blades go as the wifey has no love for the blades and after I met Arkanian I figured it would be a while before the Blades he has will be used and or needed, he lives in the asphalt Jungle, Long Island term for the city and the surrounding boroughs, Must of just been sitting in closet since he bought the set.
Invited him out to the Island when ever he wants or a trek up North to the Adirondacks, A big Thanks to Arkanian for getting these beauties to me and for those that have yet to see a set together
