wow she has a pretty skin under the coating! Did you polished it in some sense or ''only'' removed the paint?
Can you post more pics for us who are curious about the beauty of raw metal underneath the black coating...tnx!

^^^I love it. Excuse my ignorance, but what is it? re-shaped BK10??
Anyways, here's a couple I took in the kitchen.
BK-7 and roast tenderloin...failed to take a pic after I carved it with the 7, I was very hungry.
BK14 with freshly harvested purple and green basil from the hydroponic garden.
And a little messing around with the Hipstamatik app on Iphone.
Just the 2 for now, but more...many more...in the future.

Here is a couple of pics before I removed the thumb ramp, I stripped and started with 400grit and worked my way up to 1000grit 3M sandpaper....
Hot damn, I just unpacked my BK2.
I'd been staring at this thing online for weeks, and despite being prepared... it's amazing how it just wants to be held!
It looks well built, as far as any building goes into such a tool. Maybe well "executed" is a better description. I like the ergonomics of the grip, and the grivory feels nice, but slick with dry hands. The Edge is plenty sharp from the factory.
The sheath is nothing to write home about, but functional. Nearly as sharp as the blade, so I skived the edges. It'll do.
I slipped (battled) some bicycle inner tube over the handle to provide some all-terrain grip. Easy enough to undo if I change my mind. The color matches the grips pretty well too.
Other minor mods I may do:
1) lanyard
2) grind 1/16" off the butt end of the grivory scales to reveal the pointy rear steel tip of the tang.
3) lock-tite the grip screws.
What an awesome burly tool!

this maybe a dumb question but where do you guys get cheap bicycle tire tubes from? other alternatives to help make the handle more sticky?
