So I modded my bk29. I wanted to do this to a bk20, but then they sold out and were way too much on the aftermarket. I figured I'd just buy an extra 29 while they are basically only $100.

Gave it the normal treatment, stainless hardware, paint stripped, logos etched. I played around with it earlier today and of course got no photos. So these will have to make do and hopefully I'll add some more tomorrow.

I always loved Dex's similar mod he did to a bk9 that NCslice has, but I wanted to keep the blade length. So the 29 makes the perfect platform. Blade length clocks in at 9 inches. I bet it would even give the bk9 a run for its money.

If I can get the extra money I hoping to buy another bk29 and pin some permanent wood handles on it with a big old fashioned brass guard. Really try to give it a worn out look and a good leather sheath that matches. I think it would make a killer old school bowie that is still functional. unnamed-1.jpgunnamed-2.jpgunnamed.jpg
 
Really nice looking blade. I wanted to wharncliffe my beat up Bk3 just like that. You just motivated me Thanks knifejunkie.
 
I'm so glad that I found this BK&T forum. You people are awesome!!!! Let me take a brand new beautiful blade open it and go straight to the band saw. Thats exactly what I have been wanting to do forever. But I always let my inhibitions get in my way. Those days ard behind me Thanks Beckerheads.
 
That's awesome! Most Wharncliffes don't appeal to me but I like that one.:thumbsup:

If you don't want the extra BK5 let me know.;)
 
Very cool! Reminds me of the skrama but cooler!

Thanks Meshach! Reminds me of a skrama as well.

Thanks Noswad0208! I don't know why but I've been on a wharncliffe kick the past year. It won't seem to go away...

I'm going to be listing them soon PM if you want first dibs.

Very nice work...

Thanks Boss1911!

Very seax-y mod KJ! Kudos to cutting up a brand new, limited edition blade.

Thanks Aikiguy!

Kick ass!
Gah...now I gotta buy 2 BK29s...

Do it! I really regretted not getting an extra bk20 to mod.

Very original! Nice!

Thanks Rebel!

You won't snap the tip off that one, looks good!

Thanks 91bravo! Yeah I would be worried about that on some kabar's thinner stock. This .25inch it's good stuff!

Nice!!! What a demolition duo. Big fan of Machax's and now the Bk29 Whar Hound. Yea I just coined that lol
 
Really cool mod!
Bet you've got some green scales(handles) left after that bk29 purchase.. :rolleyes:
 
Thanks Tanker1/66 and danny.k!

I think the official name Im calling it is the "toddler thumper" or maybe "toddler popper". Just a little inside joke with my sister and her new kid.

And yes danny.k I do have a few sets laying around. :thumbsup:

See? This is what happens. I felt the same way, at first. But....then the what-ifs start to invade your imagination - and the next thing you know, you're taking your new, roll stamped BK-7 to the grinder. Fun as hell, once you get over that thing about "ruining" a perfectly serviceable knife.

And I think I speak for all the 'Heads when I say: "you're welcome". We do aim to corrupt.
