Hey Jeff, how many INFIcoots do you have? I have one but haven't really "used" it yet. When I get the SOD, the INFIcoot will be by smaller fixed blade. I'm probably going to get a RAT RC-3 also.

Poi - she didn't get laid off, an old back injury started causing her problems. She's quite a trooper, but the pain in her back and leg just got to be too much.

Sorry to hear about her injury Private K. The back is such vunerable area. Once an injury occurs there, it's hard to get 100% again. A couple of my co-workers tore their ACL in their knee last year. It took over 6 months to get back to work and they weren't 100%. I can just imagine how much more difficult it must be for a back injury!

I will also sit out the Ganza tonight.

I've got four. My first Bussekin knife was an INFIcoot purchased on the Exchange; it was the beginning of a very expensive path.

I got my INFIcoot from e-bay a couple of years ago from a member of the Busse forum. I've always wanted something in INFI as the Busse's were out of my price range. Another knife that I've always wanted was an Active Duty and Satin Jack. They are up for bid on e-bay once in a while but the hogs have a feeding frenzy and jack those bidding prices WAY beyond afordable for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Are you trying the VetDayGanzaaaa? ADs are all custom, so priced higher than I'd pay, but they still have BADs at the Company Store -- we were talking about them yesterday. The BAD isn't built as a prybar, bit it is an outstanding slicer. In almost any circumstance, I'd prefer a BAD to an AD (I'm rather fond of the coyote/black handles, although for higher viability, the others are nice too).

The VetDayGanzaaaa has a couple SJTACs at reasonable prices on page 14; they're about $100 over "pure CG" prices, but appear to be double cut or satin finished. If you're willing to pay custom prices, there are some nice ones on page 2. If you're looking for old style straight-handled SJs, you'll look for a long time and pay a serious premium on the exchange.

Myself, I'm looking at the FSH on page 13. If anyone's been waiting for a reasonably-priced Battle Mistress, that 13a Military overrun is a good deal -- I'm having difficulty telling if it's green or moss from the picture.

I'm seriously considering a page 6 Culti -- I keep repeating to myself, "You've got BADs... they fill the same role... you don't need a Culti." However, it's pretty, priced to sell, and my impulse-control is weakening.

No guarantee that I won't change my email by the time I send it, but my order is prepared. I'm sticking with FiSH (for now) -- Time for a lunch break.

Mom called to say she was looking through the extended warranty paperwork she'd been given, and the $0 deductible she was told she was getting appears to be $200 in the contract. Of course, the only person who can look into that is out sick today. I told her that she needs to cancel it and get her check back if they don't respond tomorrow. I tell you, I've never had a good experience with car extended warranties -- I sometimes buy warranties on electronics, but for the most part they feel like a scam.

Either server responsiveness over at BladeForums is much better than normal, or folks aren't expecting an early GO. I'm having no page load problems (yet).

There it went... SSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWWWW...
