Time to remove the ramp on my Bk7

There’s some nice shiny goodness there Tanker. Good job. And I REALLY love the scales.

Thanks @Aikiguy I put those on to Honor my Son's service in the Infantry. Why is the sky Blue? Because God Loves the Infantry!!!! They actually aren't Infantry Blue but I'm a Tanker So it's close enough lol

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?????

Just grind it of.
Never really fancied such fingerguards on any blade except on those primarly used for stabbing.

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.

Ground it off before I left work today. I'm going to shape and polish it in the morning. And post up some pics.

I knew it wouldn't take you long the guard on the 10, 12 and 7 are a little much But safety is important I like the guard on the 2

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.

Great job Tanker, Looks Awesome oh yea, very nice job on the sheath too!

Made some mods to my bk3. Also reground the chisel grind. Took a lot of unnecessary metal off. It's scary sharp now.
