Great pics, everybody! Trade, I was fortunate enough to handle dresnor's modified 10 - I know why he loves it so much.
I do not have a spare 10 - but this might happen to mine, anyway. I like that you kept the ramp - tho if I do get around to it, I'll probably redo the radius on the edge, too. Did that to my 7, and I like tradewater's mod, so - even more pointier
. I know this is not a BK-10 pic, but I'd be working towards this kind of profile (tho I'd blow off trying to do a swedge like that - rrRRrr, that was difficult):
hoo needz 2 reed wen therz pitchers?
If he did, it'd technically be a "mini" RSK MKII - the 12's longer and IIRC a little thicker. Love the 12 - thanks again, Bill.
Inspired by this thread, I took my spare BK10 out to the shop last week and ground down the spine to a drop point. I left the spine as ground for fire steel scraping. Also made a Kydex sheath to fit the new shape. The original edge shape is factory. I only worked the spine down. Suits me better now as I like the slimmer point

Haha, you guys don't read anything.

It is not a 12! It is not a 12! It is not..........Hey! Kinda looks like a 12 
I didn't plan it that way but I like it. The size of a BK2 without the bulk! A big part of the joy of modding Becker is it is so easy due to their construction and because the base models are high quality, you get a great end result custom on the cheap

like this 'un
She's a nice un she is. I think it would look better with the finger guard ground down a bit.

Nice work JD. You guys are making me want a 10 again, just to grind on.

They all look good nice work to all. But am with Bill I like the ramp and thanks Warrior for the visual on the shortened ramp. When I get to doing mine I know what to do. How about a gimp look without the guard ? Please 🤔

I'll be keeping my ramp as well - if Uncle E. put it in there, he must have had reasons. Plus, I find it useful.

I recently did another rendering of a modded BK10. Looks like I'm going to have to buy yet another BK10 and give it a go.

Here's my lightly modded 10. De-ramped, jimped, and modified clip.
