So glad it meets your expectations! That handle is a bit different shape than the others that I have done, just a bit more hand filling. Video turned out great! Good to see your videos back up. I can almost smell that OCHOCO fat wood! I have a pc that I got when I was there that is so dense and hard I can barely scrape it!
Beautiful custom work!! You didn’t even talk about the awesome leather sheath. I assume that was custom as well as they usually have that nylon one with the plastic insert. Need to show that closer. Great video as always!
I am ready to get a Becker, but I'm not sure which would be most useful here in Ohio for bushcraft outings. I think the BK7 and 9 would be too big. I like the size of this one a lot!
For carving, the 16 is excellent. I think you would really enjoy it, but definitely upgrade the handles. Sagebrushcustoms@yahoo.com, or The Knife Connection.
Nice looking knife. I don’t own a Becker yet. I recently got a Esee 5. I have been working with it lately and I’ve combined it with one of their carbon steel fire strikers and my local chert and quartzite for a fire kit. I do have a question for you. Do you have a particular strop set up you like and works for you?
I love using my Esee's, . A BK16 ( customized) makes a great addition to the collection. As far as stroppping, I use a Spyderco Sharpmaker with the ultra fine rods, which have to be purchased separately. The edge is so fine that if I strop it it actually removes some of the edge. So I no longer strop, but throw my Sharpmaker in my pack when I am out for more than a a day or two.
THANK YOU! Cool that you noticed. Have lost 36 pounds since January. Actually planning a video in the near future about what I have been doing to get myself in better condition.
Thanks for the request. I was out with Covid in January, so my video making has been none. Recovering now, so a sharpening video from home might just be the perfect way to get started again. We'll see what I can do. Thanks.

Thank you for amazing work!
Big respect for turning down a paycheck to spare us a vid on useless crap. Love your authenticity :)
Thank you so much!

THANK YOU! Yes, Mark also made the Sheath, I will have to give a closer look in another video.
Nice knife Dan!
I've never use a BK knife before but I think I'm going to have to fix that problem. Great video. Stay safe.
They are a great little knife, but definitely upgrade the handles.
That is a beauty! Awesome looking and personalized.
Nice Knife, Thumbs up 👍
Upgrade aprooved!! I like how he made the handle a tad thicker!! Enjoy sir, it also looks great!
Thank you! Fells really good in the hand.

@@ochocobushcraft1742 ok thank you for your advice.
Great video. BTW, you look super healthy. Maybe some weight loss? Either way, keep up the great content. Cheers from Canada!

Covid will do that
Can you do a sharpening video
