mike biz,
Nice mod. I got an SS4 about a week ago. At first I did not like the handle at all and have considered selling or trading it. However, the more times I pick it up the more it grows on me. It may be a keeper. Got a Bandicoot coming in the mail for handle comparison (and use, of course).
Thanks,
Same thing happened with me!
I bought an HRLM from the Swamp to play with, sell later, just to tide me over while waiting for the "2nd Offer SS4".
But when I got both, and really used both.. that HRLM grew on my like Crazy!
But as you said.. it took awhile for me to realize!
Couple years ago I had to get rid of ~20 firearms in a hurry.. less than 5 minutes I picked out 2 to keep, less than a week sold the rest.
Maybe as I get more experience with these Busse/Swamp/Scrap knives.. I'll learn to discriminate faster.. maybe not! Sure is fun though!
