Thanks Lincoln; your FSH was a lucky find. There weren't many (I only saw one in 'Bama Clay) and they were all gone when I got to the the table where they'd been because I'd stopped to grab the SS4 on the way. I asked the crew if there was another FSH in any of the boxes under the tables, but no luck, so I continued gathering steel. I kept looking though, and like my muddy SFNO, somebody put it back as they were getting ready to pay for their knives. At first, I had to check to make sure it was really a FSH -- nobody puts those back -- but that's what it was, so I grabbed it.

Also, I was in a quandary over your M9. I grabbed exactly what you'd asked for initially: a light colored blade (Sage), with Tan Micarta handles. However, there was also a M9 in 'Bama Clay with Black G10 handles. I carried it around for a while before putting it back, because between the two, the canvas Micarta handles felt better in my hand and it cost $30 less than the one with G10. You specifically requested Micarta, and if I'd been buying for myself, the one you asked for is the one I'd have chosen, so that's what you got.
