Okay I have big hands my coworkers accuse me of having bear paws . Here is the Eldris in my hand and a picture of my BK-10 for reference pictures aren't great but should work for a size reference

That looks peaceful.

Yeah…can’t imagine why your coworkers would say that about you…

The Grandfather is a bit larger than the Eldris:

The Grandfather is a bit larger than the Eldris:

Ecclesiastes 1:9 say there is no new thing under the sun. I can see somebody looking at the grandfather knife and it being inspiration for the Mora Edris. I can see that knife being a handy knife. I know the Eldris is.

The Otzi knife was probably the inspiration for the Grandfather.

Any tips getting some old micarta bk16 scales a little brighter?

Have you tried washing them with soap and water? They look like they've just absorbed a lot of oil.

The micarta on my tuko looks like it needs oil. It gets washed almost daily with soap and water. Its gotten very pale looking. When i first noticed it i accused my wife of putting it in the dishwasher. She says she didnt. More recently ive noticed a couple small chips on it, but ive decided not to question her about it.

You saying Iv got greasy hands? ...probably right.

Ill try a sponge soap and water again, in the past it hasnt done much. Its my favorite fixed blade so its been used alot

 

[dogboye]

Try Dawn, or some other dishwashing detergent.

A couple of Becker’s with their cousins.

I always wipe my striped blades with mineral oil when not in use and it always gets on the scales and eventually builds up and with use Micarta gets a shine .They still have a good grip to me so it doesn’t bother me . If you want to bring back the dry look and take the shine off use rubbing alcohol it will remove hand oil and mineral oil . Use removes the fuzzy stuff If you want the fuzzy look back a lite rub with rough sand paper will do it . Your scales look fine to me

My Best week ever, for knife purchases....
I've wanted both for a long time. Haha
The 15 looks basically Brand New, I'm afraid to modify/use it.
....And The 4 is stamped. Idk if that automatically makes me a Beckerhead, I heard it does...

Where the heck you hear that at? As much as you're here, you haven't applied yet?
