Glad to hear you got a Tali there. I do miss my original Tali at times but since it was a safe queen that did not get used I decided to move it on to a former active Marine that was in need of a Tali. Do I wish I could get a new Tali, yes I do. Am I going to get one, no I am not. There are a few things keeping me from getting the new Tali. 1) The blade does not fit into any role that I would use it for, I am not going to be knife fighting and IF I am, it will be a Kill Devil Hawk. 2) The blade will work for most things, but it is a master of none so it would sit more than being used. 3) With a new son, and wife not working the funds have all but dried up so there is no go for a blade that will be used once in a while.
I am happy that the Busse brought the Tali out for re-release because so many people are now getting the chance to see why the original was sought after. You guys enjoy!
