The Official FrankenBecker Mod-Off (here we go)

Got the weekend to myself at the mountain place this weekend... gonna be wrappin' to try to get ready.
 
I think my mod has inadvertently stalled progress by creating an irresistible diversion every time the knife is unsheathed.

Nah, it's more of conflicting work schedules and my 10 month old daughter. Good news, I'm going to the shop tomorrow though. I should get it completed. No doubt your mod will be used quite a few times tomorrow though. ;)
 
Guys I just love this thread!

This is a really neat experiment in modification and fun to watch. can't wait to see more. We truly have some devious minds around here!

@Daizee: I expect your bottle-opener mod to be the next big thing around here. Kinda like the great thumbramp removal trend :)
 
I can't wait to see the next mod,,, I love this thread,,, I wish I could send a bk7 around to all you talented men and get a work of art like that back!!

That mod's greatness is still in dispute.

Lol, anyway I got the finish done today. Tried getting pics, but my photobucket account is playing hard-to-get. I'm really having difficulty uploading pix, anybody else having issues? Anyway, Clich I'm ready to pass her to the next guy. I took before and after pix.
 
Got the addy, I'll send it today with his stone. I'm not sure what the problem is, the pix get halfway uploaded then just stop and say "upload failed".
 
So Murph, you set the bar pretty high with the number of bottles opened by the 7. What does BRL have to beat?

And is he gonna do his makeup in the new finish?

I think Im safe, didn't BRL quit drinking? Ah, Got a pic or two uploaded. Everything I have seen done to it so far is excellent. Very good mods everybody and all nicely done. I chose to go with a sandblasted non glare finish that I hope jives well with the rest of the intended mods. I'm not really a fan of shiny stuff, chrome won't get ya home. So, if anybody was counting on a high polish finish, I'm sorry. I had Todd touch up the edge a bit since I think the last two mods are sheath and scales if I'm not mistaken. It only took me about 35 min or three beers to blast her.

This was a very fun project to see come together so far. Clich, thanks for the opportunity! I really do hope this thing continues to come along as well as it has so far.

Looks freaking awesome man! Damn I can't believe how well this whole project is turning out. I am amazed guys.
 
You know for a beater its cleaned up real nice.
There is an awful lot of talent hiding out in the Becker forums.
 
Thanks y'all, I was pretty worried that I was making the wrong choice of finish. I kinda thought a high polish finish would've complimented the mods so far, but I couldn't bring myself to make a mirror out of her.
