    Becker Necker Handle Mod

    Hi guys, Decided to fashion some micarta scales for my BK11, first attempt at anything like this but I think the result is ok. Makes this becker much more user friendly than just paracord wrap - not a fan in the field when the paracord gets soggy then moldy in your pack. I also added...
