I got my Becker BK7 a couple weeks ago and I am really impressed with it. I used to split quite a bit of wood in its first informal test and it was still sharp enough to shave with.
The only weak point that I see with it is the sheath. It seems like a half decent design with the little accessory pocket, but it just doesn't seem heavy enough, especially compared to that moose of a knife.
I am looking at either making a replacement for it out of leather and probably using the Kydex liner from the original or buying a replacement. Anyone have any suggestions? Is the original tougher than it looks? If so I might stick with it. What about the Blackhawk sheaths that Brigade Quartermaster sells? Will they fit the Becker?
Any help would be appreciated.
