I much prefer a satin finish for exactly the same reasons.
Those fat FBM's are much much better looking than the lined ones but they are heavy.

The game warden seems the perfect companion to the BM's.

I love the old SHBM's but they are to expensive for users but a great deal can be had on the ergo handled BM's. I just got a user ergo Steel heart for well under 500$.

I would definitly keep an eye out for users. I saw a FBM in decent shape go for 350$ on BF.

I got a great looking dull satin on my SS4 in minutes using a dremel and a 80 grit flapper wheel. A 120 grit would be finer.

Take care overseas I think you make a fantastic member of our little community and you would be sorely missed. I know us Canadians are kind of looking forward to the US laying the law down to those northern paki provinces like Waziristan so the Taliban can't just run over the border and keep regrouping.

Also if you need anything over there let us know. I helped get Tyger his DFLE in Kandahar although admittedly the Canadian airforce did the heavy lifting.


I love companion blades for big knives and actually tried to answer about it on the wrong thread (the batman one) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
