I'll take the INFI and the rifle hehe.. but in reality with that knife I think I would be satisfied. At least in that size range. And I'm already satisfied below that range with the SS4 and my folders.

Jerry posted VetDayGanzaaa (mostly leftovers from Knob Creek) today. I'll need to see the prices, but after holding Steel Fan's FSH, I've been wanting one and the 'Bama Clay on page 13 is calling.

any guess what it might cost? custom shop full convexed satin INFI RMD, green linen micarta. I have a lot of things I could sell for something like that.

that moss rocks my world. I really like the bama clay too, but I think the moss is the most attractive coating i've ever seen

I also like the Arctic White, but those hand shaped handles may add more than I want to spend to the price. I should have gotten one when I was there, but I'd already spent so much (it's a new billing cycle now). I need to see the prices first, and I suspect they only have one or two of each, so I probably won't be able to get them anyway.
I need to calm down -- I'm heading into a buying frenzy.

I could even go for competition finish, or moss with a convexed edge. I have some small pieces of satin INFI but my SOD's will be my first satin SR-77

the hand-shaped thing doesn't really do anything for me. I like the machined ones just fine

Another thing, and before I say this I'll once again acknowledge that Dan's paying for the server, so it's his forum and he calls the shots, but some of the rules (specifically that discussions must not be about other knives unless there's a Scrap Yard comparison) tend to shut down conversations... Yep. Some days there just isn't anything "Scrap Yard" related to discuss that hasn't already been discussed. I have been spending more time on another manufacturer's forum that does not forbid discussions of other brands. Once the SOD gets here, I'm pretty sure I feel another Camp Knife chop-off coming. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I think they're more comfortable, but I could probably do a little careful hand sanding myself, just to knock down some of the more aggressive palm edges on mags, and be just fine. Machined aren't bad, but they could be better if the ridges were smoothed just a little.

Hi Vic, Jason was asking about how the BRKT wood handles felt earlier. I know you have more of them than I do.

Vic told me the RMD was more preferably designed than the BATAC and I'm really glad I listened. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I can be stubborn at times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
