Beckerhead Knife Making and Modification Thread

Outstanding mods everyone.

Well stated, hawkhead - tho I think you might need to get yourself a Finnish handle - those Puukkos are gorgeous, like you're a native.

On another note, it's quite gratifying to see this thread at a 100 pages and still being enjoyed. Perhaps when the weather cools off I'll get to some of the projects I've got waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, allay'all are just killing it with your projects. A whole lotta great work is going on.
 
aaah, I've missed this thread!! glad to see so much activity, you guys are killing it! hawk, love those puukkos and your pommel method, I have a couple of blades lying around and don't feel confident enough to try and peen the tangs; your method sounds like a good way to solve that. Been working on some stuff but need to get busy and snap some better pics. This one will be posted tomorrow, hopefully:

Truly a Masterful work of art :thumbsup: Both Knife and Sheath ;)
 
Heheh. Heheh. He said "Waddle-pocket".

Nice job there. I do prefer the 7 de-waddled. Of course I also prefer it L'il Wayned AND Big Wayned too. But IIRC, my own 7 is still waddling.
 
:p I like the term. it's cool :thumbsup: By the way your answer to having a 3 :p:p in the kitchen is nothing short of Gorgeous! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I picked up this already modified a bit Bk2 from bladesmith3 awhile back. I wanted something to play around with. This past weekend Lady Guinevere (My Lovely Wife who puts up with my obsession) went back to the Renaissance Fair. As usual I was Rocking my Beckerhead Tee:thumbsup:
One of the vendors had a box of leather things and I scored this sheath for 10 bucks. That inspired me to do some more modding on my 2.
Dropped the whole spine and handle by about 1/4 inch, reshaped the blade profile, put on a choil, Xr6x Xr6x doesnt like 90º spines so I right angled it lol, and finally I convexed the edge to 20º. Fits my new sheath quit nicely.
