1st knife personalisation

Hi all,

I know this probably isn't to everyone's taste, but I'm really happy with it came out. I bought a becker bk9 from a member on here not long ago. It was in good condition, but I wanted to change the patina and the edge needed a little work.

Here's how it looked when I got it:

This weekend I got the chance to work on it, I started by sanding the whole thing down to about 1000 grit. I then put a mustard patina on the handle and top of the blade with a toothbrush. After that I gave the non patina parts a rub over with 2500 grit. Finally I gave it a good seeing to with my lansky, two clamps for bigger blades and it's come out by far my sharpest blade! Scary sharp!

Anyway here are the pics

Thanks for looking.

Not my favourite things for sure but you've done a nice job with it

Not the type of blade I'd go for, but you've done a wonderful job on it!

Exactly as above, nice job

Thanks guys, I know a lot of people on here don't favour bigger knives, but I really like the becker knives. This was my 1st attempt at anything like this, I was really nervous, but I don't think it could of turned out better tbh.

The mustard etch looks awesome.

Looks great, but it's a bit thick for a billhook and the tip is curved the wrong way!

Nice job fella.

Thanks

The mustard etch looks awesome.

Thanks it came out really well, just standard yellow mustard.

It's classed as a combat bowie apparently from what I've seen on you tube it'll fell most things.

Wow that's a beast! Nice job though the etch looks great.

Nice work! The mustard worked much better than the strips of steak that I used on it.

Can I have it back now please?

You have done a mustard job 😝 sorry I couldn't help myself.

All jokes aside it look like a good modification.

I might have to hold onto it a little longer I'm afraid, to appreciate my hard work and all

I kept the red liners btw, you can't see it in the photo but they're there. They were a great addition.
