Great pics as usual, Warrior. I love the looks of that Hudson Bay enough that I think I'll be getting one. It looks totally different than the crappy catalog pic.

Thanks. It looks tons better than in the catalog. Not sure why they have that crappy rendition in it.

Handles look a little dry. Need to get some oil on them.
 
By my count, we now have 254 official BeckerHeads!!!

Been adding a lot lately, I think we were well under 150 BHs when I got my Number. At #250 I had TONS of space...now we are almost to me, Balding Eagle is at #247.

Those edges look crisp and sharp as the dickens too, how do they feel Dubs ?

Not shaving sharp, but a good working edge me thinks. They feel great. Both handles fit my hand okay. I wish the Hudson Bay scales were a little thicker, but they're okay though.

Yeah they are definitely getting up there. I think when got mine we were somewhere around 130.





Dubs those condors look Great, I really dig that little nessmuk and I really like the hammered finish on the Hudson bay.

Great grab Dubz. I'm gonna have to nab a Nessie. Decent sheath?

Thanks. The ness is pretty cool. I need to oil the scales on both knives, really dry. I'm going to lightly sand them first, then oil. Yep, decent sheath. Here's a few crappy photos. I hate using the flash:

Not bad at all. FYI the BK9 fits that Hudson Bay sheath quite nicely. At least my rampless one does.
 
Aidansdaddy, you are out of pms, so I couldnt respond. Signup is in the htm subforum. When can we get that forum 16 going?
 
Just got home from supper. Went for sushi with some friends. Had a nice time, now I'm home killing some time just chilling.

The factory micarta is rough, but it's pretty good. Since you do really nice micarta on your own, I wouldn't bother with them if I was you. I, on the other hand, can't shape scales to save my life, so I depend on the work of others to make my knives awesome. :D

Nah, my carta shaping skills suck, the grips may be decent in the fact they have no hotspots but if you look at how its contoured from the top it looks like bloody horrible, if someone bought a pair of scales from me within 5 mins of recieving it you'd have sent me an e-mail saying you want your money back haha.
 
Anyone happen to have the Fisk sharpening video bookmarked? Seems like it was one of the gathering threads.

I finally got around to sending in my C&R FFL app. Now I can finally take advantage of all those email specials I get... Hopefully my reading comprehension was ok and I didn't FUBAR that app.

That is an awesome license, I had that for 3 years and went crazy the first year. Got a little bit of everything and a lot of swiss k31's. Got mine back in 13 days from the day I sent it. Keep your bound book up to date in case they check, but they rarely do.
 
Just got my paper wheels in. They put a polished edge on my 14 in about a minute. Oh and did I mention I have two bald spots on my arm because I didnt notice it was shaving? Yes its that sharp. Dont get me wrong im not spamming or advertising here. I promise. Im truely amazed.
 
Not going to mod it, but I couldn't help to see what it would look like. This is an animation, give it a chance:
