Post Your Becker Mods

[randalljames6]

Cut up my bk7 today to make a bk2/Ritter type hybrid wanted a longer pointier lighter companion and shorter than the Ritter. Seems to be perfect for what I wanted. So what mods have the rest of you done.

Nothing that ambitious! Wow! Very nice job! You are a much braver man than I! Kudos

 

[trevytrev]

Wow! You really took some steel off that thing! It looks wicked though, a job well done. I got nervous taking off the coating...lol

 

[Battle Creek Knives]

thats a mean looking BK7/10

great job

 

[randalljames6]

Thanks......I had the bk7 laying around not being used so I thought about it for a couple days and decided go for it ,not really that scary to me I've sawed off $800 rifle barrels and recrowned them.

Cutting up rifle barrels is brave.

 

[obsessis]

That's pretty cool, how did you go about cutting it up?

 

[DerekH]

Awesome mod! Looks just like the BK12, er, RSK MK2 rather. (In my mind, it is the 12 dangit.)

 

[randalljames6]

First I taped it off marked it out and looked at it for two days. Then put a 1/16" cut off wheel on my 4" makita clamped it down and started cutting but a little outside line so i didn't anneal the future edge. Kept it cool with water and in ten or fifteen minutes I was done with my cool cutting. Then used a belt sander and shaped it then ground the edge. Lastly used a foam sanding block to put a nice convex on the edge and sharpened it. It turned out perfectly taking a shaving edge handle to tip.

[The Ice Bear]

That is AWESOME!

I had thought about doing the exact same kind of mod.

What is your blade length now? How about a pic in hand?

Again, very nice.

Wanna do one for me?

[sinsanity]

That's an amazingly good job! Wish i could do something like that without messing it up. >_>a

 

[randalljames6]

I like that cerekote ... Bet it ends that "where did I lay my knife?" question

 

[randalljames6]

Blade is now 5.5" I will get a couple pics up later in hand and next to my bk2

 

[ruckmaster]

Look forward to seeing the pics in hand of the BK-7 mod.

Thanks
