RSK MK2 BK12

I believe the bk12 still comes with the old camillus grivory handles. So they are thicker than the kabar handles. kabar has changed the type of polymer they use a few times now. I think they did grivoiry, zytel, and now ultramid. I think if we get really sciencey grivory is the better polymer of the three.

I'm a sucker for spearpoints, and this 12 is very close to one!

I hear that. The one NSlice modded is sick. I offered to buy it from him, but he wanted a million for it, iirc, haha. Don't blame him one bit. I think he ground the spine down straight as well.

I saw that the handle material may be different on the bk12. We'll see how I like it with the factory grips. If I like the factory ones, I'll just throw the micarta scales onto the bk4 The Warrior The Warrior gave me!

I was just telling the wife, after taking 15 knives or so to the cabin, that I need to slow down on the knife buying, haha. Yeah, right. :p

I was just talking about that in the Spyderco forum. We can always find a way to self-justify a purchase of a new knife!

I'll have 710 do one for me, when I decide to gitter done. He makes awesome looking 4 sheaths.

I like the dangler best. Probably have it done in camo.
 
Dang, those sheaths are nice! I see that he makes one for the bk12 too! I may have to contact him about filing down my thumb guard flush with the spine.
 
I've been looking at a bunch of old threads regarding the BK-12. Seems like it is one of those forgotten gems. Maybe your mods to it will usher in some renewed interest, which means I should buy one soon before they are all gone. :D

I'd hop on it! Once they are sold out at KW, there will be no more! It does looks like there is a lot of info out there on the bk12.
 
Just when I realize it is available after assuming it was a discontinued model, and now finding that there is limited quantities.... Grrrr, can't win.... :(

Looks like I need to sell some stuff to fund a new blade.

I need to sell a thing or two myself! I'm sitting on way too many knives right now!
 
I've always loved the look of the BK12, but I dislike thumb ramps in general. I think that a rampless 12 would be my favorite full-size Becker.

The only one I've handled belongs to NCSlice NCSlice , and I quite liked it.

Please get one, mod it, and show us pics!

The Ka-Bar micarta fits...
If you take out the weight plugs.
The TKC do not fit because this isn't skeletonized like the Ka-Bar. One could carve out the micarta to accommodate the plugs...

...on that note,
There's a BK12 video with @Ethan Becker and @Critter thats really good. Near the beginning Ethan says with a $#!+ eating grin, in regards to the weights, the knife came out perfect...once you remove the weights.
Something like that. It's a good watch.
