Beckerhead Knife Making and Modification Thread

[Tanker 1/66]

Big Brother and Little Brother.

That was a tedious task. Nicely done

 

[GeofS]

Continuing with my BK9 modification, once I removed the ramp, I was left with one little depression that looked weird and lonely by itself. The aesthetics didn’t work for me. As others have done, I decided to try to file in some jimping.

Not bad for my first attempt ever...

I’m happy with it. On to the next mod...

Nicely done, GeofS.
The leftover jimp is called 'Wayne'. You gave Wayne some siblings. And a very good by-hand job of it.

 

[GeofS]

Thank you, daizee. It’s coming along.

 

[The Warrior]

Nice work man.

 

[GeofS]

Thanks, Dubz.

I guess this kind of fits in this thread too...
I'm restoring an old hatched/hawk head found in the bank of the loire river earlier this summer on a canoeing trip.

The way it was found

rust removed

handle making is the next step

Too cool man. Awesome find. Trying to make out what it says on it. Looks like 600, then golden something?

Ah, goldenberg 86, went to your thread.

yeah,

600 is the weight in grams,
Then the brand: Goldenberg 86
I guess 86 might be the year of manufacturing? Not sure about that last number.

Looks like Goldenberg was a French tool company that got bought out by Stanley in the 80's. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/anyone-have-info-on-a-goldenberg-axe.1118121/
