Thanks danny. I'm thinking about knocking the finger guard down a touch. It looks like a growth without the ramp to off set it. Thoughts?????

I think it's a fine idea.
If you look at the FFG 16 I've plastered all over this place, I squared the guard off and trimmed it down. Very happy with the result.
I also like how the 29 guard doesn't exceed the plane of the blade edge. If you have access to a 29, that might be a good template if you want to keep the guard rounded but reduce its protrusion.

Nice job Tanker, I've tossed the guard removing option around a lot but have not done so yet. The ramp I don't mind . The guard would look a lot nicer shorter. :thumbsup:

So I finally finished my Bk7 Mod. I think I have created my perfect Hiking/climbing knife. I decided that I wanted a choil like my Bk5. The choil allows for detail work and gives my hand a better grip and stand off when using the pommel as a hammer. I also 90º the spine a few inches behind the swedge.
I pulled the insert on the sheath and heated it to make a friction fit on the blade and shortened the sheath. I still need to add a shock cord and keeper for added retention around the handle. It will pass through the eyelets in the sheath.
