Sleepybadgers modded bk-5

[TMHunt]

Some of you here may know sleepybadger. Well long story short, some months ago Sleepy b bought a custom cleaver from me. After that a small patch knife, and over that span we've kept in touch and seemed to have become pretty good friends. One day after seeing Murphs beckanet sleepy asked me if I would mod a bk 5 for him. Now, making knives from scratch I really don't like to do to many mods. But, it is a Becker, and sleepys a pretty cool dude so I said what the hell!

as you can tell I cut the handle down a bit

turned a skull crusher on my lathe

and then tried my first attempt at a snakeskin inlayed sheath. Turned out quite nice I think. Oh yeah. The handle is walnut burl. Hope you enjoy. Gonna hit it on the buffer once more and piddle here and there but for the most part this babies done!

Very different from the stock one in hand too! You just wanna play swashbuckler with it. Gorgeous!

 

[TMHunt]

Haha! Good point Murph! Funny story folks! The day I fabricated the s-gaurd Murph was there. I put him to work. I taught him how to make the slot for the blade. I let him have a shot at it and he did a hell of a job. I have a mill. But everbody has to learn somewhere. Murph was relentless with the files haha. The pictures don't show it. But the fit is up to snuff with my critical eye!
