"THE BIG ONE" in jungle green and tan.this thing scares me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />



also got the sheath for my CA.this thing is really nice and just works like a charm.worth the money honestly imo.




here's a little side by side for size reference




i'll be taking the "BIG ONE" up into the Adirondak Mtns. with me saturday and will be taking some action shots to bring back to the yard.hopefully by sunday i can have this thing looking all nasty and beat up.give it some character.its looking a little to prim and propper for me right now.

What's with the hat? I've never seen/heard of it. Or is it a secret only for the "special" rats? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Good for you northern1 for taking The Big One to the woods and working it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> That is beautiful color combo on the Big One. I think you can leave the little crash axe at home. What can it do that the Big One can't?

how could you not have a hat?
the big one looks good.

I guess because I'm not an "inducted" member. Even though I own thousands of dollars worth of knives...I also have the most posts at the Swamp on a time basis, and I'm quickly gaining on Eric and Trumby (Ian) for most overall posts. So, I think I should qualify. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That is freakn' huge. I want one of those hat's as well.

That's fine, they won't sell us Swamp shirts either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I'll just stick with my SY hat and shirt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Even though unfortunately as I'd feared, the SY hat isn't big enough. It needs to be "deeper". It needs to sit lower, it's right on top of my head and feels like a good gust would blow it off. My hemp hat is the only one I've found that fits me well.

If you shaved your head, it would fit. LOL

I don't think these hat's came from Swamp Rat though. There was another hat I saw and asked Eric about them, he told me another place made them, nothing to do with Swamp Rat, these could also fit the boat.

Nice score northern1, I just got mine in the mail today as well. It had a small imperfection that looked like a small bubble (in the paint) or something but I know Jerry will back it up if it becomes a problem plus I will put it through it's paces to make sure it is not a problem. I looks more of a cosmetic issue than anything and unless you are looking for it you won't really see it. Basically no concern to me. The pictures are bad right now, I didn't have time to get better ones yet. For some reason the weight feels like the same as the dogfather CG, but it is heaver by scale. Feel seems the same though. Definitely an awesome knife, my first Jerry Busie knife. I'm very grateful that Jerry finally put out a great chopper to go against my bolo.

Here's the NBFNM in comparison to the bolo and dog fathers (CG and LE)

Dog Father CG weight

Wow, that is one impressive blade.

I know, I can't wait to go out and beat on it.
