The Official FrankenBecker Mod-Off (here we go)

Great job, BRL! Looks like it would be really comfortable. We're getting closer to seeing the finished FB! I'm stoked.
 
Elvis (Frankenbecker) has left the building (Phoenix). Comin atcha, 1066vik.
 
the FrankenBecker has landed!
some really nice work on this -- feels good in hand, the clip serrations feel functional, nice finish, the bottle choil still works...
now I've got some thinking to do to figure out how to do what I want to do...
muahahahaha..........ah-hahahahaha!!!

Hey Vik, that bottle opener choil helps a lot when you're thinking.
 
Awesome build up guys! I have my first Becker on its way in the mail and it happens to be a BK7!! I can't wait to get it know after seeing this thread! Thanks guys
 
The FB was what made me buy a BK7 and I gotta say right now it's my favorite Becker. It's fundamentally bad ass in all the ways a large fixed blade can possibly be.
 
how about a croc skin sheath

i think it would be BEASTLY!
 
what color - black to match the handle wrap or dark brown?
also pouch on the front for multitool or altoid tin - or leave it clean and smooth?
 
I vote black. I went black with the wrap instead of brown because I thought black/grey made the most sense.
 
here's last nights WIP photo -- wet forming the sheath for retention.

OK, it's been an odd day and i'm an idiot.
Day started out with a blizzard - so i couldn't do any dirt work outside, which means i finally had some time to work on the sheath more.
My truck is on the shop - so I took SWMBO to work, fried up a couple pounds of bacon and made a pit of coffee -- then SWMBO called to tell me the office had no power, so she was going shopping with a friend.
I started sewing up the pouch - and sewed the welt inside out.
About the time I figured this out, it was done and I didn't feel like cutting it apart & resewing it -- so I glued it on and tacked all 4 corners down as well.
Now the Frankenbecker has a monster front pouch. (almost tall enough to stack a pair of altoid tins)

One other thing - the stonewash finish is cool, but it's a rust magnet -- I can give it a coat of wax and send it home or I can blue it and send it home -- whaddaya think Clich?

p.s. Dubs -- a cheap rifle sling would hook up to those D rings for a pretty snazzy "Dundee" carry.... not that i tested it o0ut or anything...
