Shhhhh! Don't tell our secrets!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ya know... I actually meant to take a camera, but between the storms and having to get up soooo early, I forgot (I know lame excuse, but it's all I've got <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />).

I'm just glad I didn't forget my wallet... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />



That's my story and I'm stick'n to it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I sent in an email last night to try and snag some of the SAR5 blades. Time will tell! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I also tried for one at the ganzaa last night, hopefully I'll get lucky and snag my first INFI.

But looking at pictures today I have a question for you Dogs...since the talon hole is where it is on the SAR, do you think that the lateral strength on this design is compromised? Compared to other 3/16" blades, I would think that it might bend more easily than a knife with a full width ricasso. This doesn't matter to me because I don't plan on prying with the SAR, but I thought I'd get some opinions.

Having seen photos of what happens to blades Jerry considers substandard, there is no way these knives will have any weaknesses! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

yeah.. scrapyard tangs are smaller than than that and they're fine so....
I doubt you'll have any problems... even if prying.

With metal fully encompassing the talon hole I can't imagine the SAR being easier to bend. It's not like there is a big notch in the steel.

I'm not sure which pics you're talking about, but if you've got a link <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure the INFI is just as tough as ever, I was just thinking that the effective ricasso width seems like it might be narrower than in a Game Warden, for example. So would you expect a GW would have more lateral strength?

Wouldn't you just LOVE to get at that pile of steel ?!!!?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No kidding, I stared at that picture for 5 minutes straight. Wow, I guess the Busses do some pretty stringent quality control. Thanks for posting it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

+1!!!! That would be awesome wouldn't it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Definately looks like a good pile for Dan to go through. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> There's bound to be something worth salvaging. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm imagine that stuff is long gone though.
