Some Becker mods :)

I didn't make the scales... they came to me already on it. Yeah I did the beer can opener on this one, kinda a dual purpose thing I guess... getting ready to do another soon too

I'm familiar with that 7. I did the original design that Sid sent to you.

That's awesome! One weird thing on this blade was that it would not take the etch partway down the handle to the bottom... could not figure out why, weird huh?

Not too sure what you mean...perhaps it wasn't 100% de-greased/free of oils?

This is the 7 that I did which is how Sid saw the design and asked me about doing on for him....but I'm NOT a professional and would've ended up working for about 50¢/hr, LOL. Then again, I made my own "Mike-carta" and did a lot more blade modification. Plus, stupid polishing.

There's a thread here somewhere, but I'm too lazy to dig it up.

Man that's sweet!! Bet that polishing took a while, as did the handle I'm sure! lol

Victor in the MTE section mirror polishes his folder blades and said it takes him 40-80 hours of work... WOW

Yeah I'm sure it was 100% degreased as I first degreased it then sandblasted it in a sterile cabinet.

That is very nice Josh. To me it identifies as a proper soldier blade.
