I like how Nix introduced the BK20 to the rest of the family, giving it a proper (in my opinion) title of prince; to me it is quite fitting as it is the youngster aspiring to dethrone the king, full of brawl and swagger. Well, the prince could use an upgrade in the wardrobe department, as they have been known to be very fashion-conscious :D. It started like this:

then ended up like this:

Besides the lanyard and stainless hardware I don't foresee any other changes. I like the smooth black coat, and the profile is just beautiful. To keep it all BK, all the screws and nuts are from other BK handles that were replaced with stainless. Here it is with some other friends that have kept me busy these past couple of days:

I'll start another thread later at KB, as the mini-parangatang will most likely get a handle and sheath upgrade. Hope you like it, and no, won't be making more of these (for now) :D
 
Well, when it turns out the Emperor has no clothes, he'll know where to turn. Very fashionable as always, ZN. I'm surprised there is no Star Wars theme here......

nah, wanted to do something different. No blade etching for this one either, although I might finish and fit it with the scales you sent me.
 
Awesome job, as usual! I like how you used the left over bolts in the build.


I like the shorty Parangatang too. It reminds me a bit of the Skrama Bush Knife.
 
that used to be a chopstick, wish I bought more when Ka-Bar sold them for 20 pops.

Oh, that's cool. I think I remember stumbling over a thread for that one in Ka Bar. Yea, they had them going for a heck of a price a while back.
 
Oh wow! I love the sheepsfoot mod! Also, congrats on the sweet sheath!
 
Very nice!! I dig it! I have yet to bend some leather for the Prince. And I do like that name for him. Young and energetic.
