Edit ...............
This item has now been traded.
Up for grabs is a Ka-bar Becker BK9.
I've had it about 6 months but never used it and from the edge and blade I'd say its never been used for more than paper.
It's been quite heavily modded.
It has red liners and the hollow scales have been filled with lead weights and foam to improve the balance. The bolts have been epoxy glued so it is now a solid lump of handle rather than light plastic that can fall apart.
I have used lambs blood to force a patina but this can be polished of with autosol if you want it shiny.
Blade is 9inches and 15inches overall of 1095 steel.
Sheath is in perfect condition. It's got molle webbing all over the back with a fastening already attached. The belt loop has Velcro and popper so you do not have to get undressed to put the knife on. It has a pouch ready for an altoids tin or sharpener as well as a built in sheath for a neck knife. I think it's called the bk13.
I will include next day delivery in a swap.
This I'd an old pic before i forced patina. I will post pics of patina when I get home.
