Awesome! I'll start a thread for this one like I did my 5 and 20 and keep it updated with pics of course! Thanks for that write up, it will help. I'll be clamping it vertically and removing it with a Bridgeport endmill. I think I'll put a sharp 90 degree spine in place of the thumb ramp, so I can strike some of them there fancy sparky sticks!

Congrats on the new 12, Slice did a great job on his looking forward to seeing yours. Mine sits in the safe as I don't want to scratch it.

I modded a bk10 before I bought the 12, including removing the ramp. I liked it much better without the ramp, but I really like the ramp on the 12. Other than removing the coating, refining the edge, and upgrading the scales there's not much I'd change about the 12. Play with it for a while before you grind off the ramp. You can always grind it off down the road, but it'd be tough to ungrind if you decided you really liked it.

You got a point about waiting to grind that ramp off. I'll strip it for sure and throw those micarta scales/SS hardware on as well.

Hopefully by Friday evening, I'll have it sandblasted with the micarta slapped on. I'm just gonna have to see for myself how the thumb ramp works out!
 
Just a heads up with the micarta, I don't think the brass weights work without drilling out the micarta.

I've been seeing that doing my research. I plan on taking those brass plugs out anyway, as the weight of the micarta slabs will eliminate the need for those weights!
 
Dang tracking says that my package has been forwarded due to incorrect address or zip code. Odd that KW would mess this up, I hope it doesn't delay anything!
