(UPDATE) BK12!!+Spine fix,patina&jimp Pic heavy!

Hey Slice, is it just me or a trick of the camera but I seemed to notice..



Hahaha! I'm just kidding bud! Yes, that's correct, I AM a jockstrap..
 
I used TravisH's tips on jimping and finally got around to this. I practiced on a few others...14, and 11...









Next is getting rid of that little guard tab thingy...
 
NC,

That was a masterful masking job on the pommel to estriol the visible portion and still protect the steel under the handle. Well played, sir!

How does the 12 feel compared to say the 2 or 10 in your opinion?
 
Oops, my bad typo, I meant to say expose, wish I could blame "estriol" on spell check..... It kind of sounds like a word, might be able to bluff that one during a Scrabble game. :rolleyes:

Thanks! It was already stripped on the Blade, but I did clean it up around the scales with a razor.

Ive never handled a BK10 but its more nimble and of course lighter but longer than the 2. I don't really get on it for chopping because I usually have my 4 or a 9 with me. TBH, my 2 could use some more love. It certainly hasn't the chopping power of the 2 and I haven't batoned with the 12. I can say that the 7 feels a bit more weildy and balanced but not so much take away from the 12.
