What's the blue handed zombie stabber?

(nice little busses too!)

After giving the matter some serious financial thought I think Blade 09 may well have produced two knives for me which would enable me to probably "do" anything I would need. So far I have managed through the help of a group of friends to buy one....the other is perhaps a matter of luck...as well as price.

The first one is the new thick .32 "Porky Highway"...seen here third one down.



It is basically a very thick "Meaner Street"...able to do a similar job as say the Dumpster Mutt Combat Grade but being done in Satin Infi it fits my needs as a small food prep knife which can also perform any other task and do so...if need be...in a "pry-bar" role. It is smaller than my SAR4 LE and thicker and after owning a BATAC LE which impressed me with it's indestructable qualities but was a bit handle heavy in the .25 thick Infi...I am hoping this knife will be even more impressive but also being smaller in handle size...more balanced.

Anyway...I will find out soon once it is shipped out and received. I have handled a number of Meaner Streets and liked them save for the fact they were a bit lighter and seemingly more fragile than I wanted. The DMDC I had was too small in the handle...as was the YG...the Meaner handle though fitted me well.
So fingers crossed this is the one small knife for me....and the "Quest" on this one can stop.

The second knife I doubt I would be able to get as it will be a matter of who gets lucky in the Ganza...but if I could only own one knife...this would be it..



The Nuclear Khukri just has to be the most impressive knife I have ever seen. Lord knows what it might cost...but if I can get it and then "relax" on this "Quest" for the ultimate knife...those I have which I can sell will more than pay for this and then some. I don't even want to think about how much I have in knives...certainly more than an expensive car. But some how I think I might have "cracked it" if I could just have these two. Well...maybe I would need my SAK and Leatherman as well...but you know what I mean...maybe I could then "rest contented".

Scores? Here's my scores. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

First was the Zilla, I'm using Jerry's publicly posted pic here... and yes, it is a BEAST!


I got an amazingly awesome knife that bumps my SnG out of the rotation. It has Rick's custom grind and the carbon fiber scales that are only on knives that sell via lottery at the show. Rick said that there are only a few of these sold each year and "maybe" twenty total exist. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />



Check out the scales on this Chopweiler! I asked Eric & Garth what was going on and he said that they found a set of old school Ratweiler scales and cut it to fit the Chopweiler. I guess this means that my unique black/tan is going out the door to make room.



A very cool Highstreet. The black paper is butter.


A very functional and comfortable Vex in D2 that provides a LOT of blade for the size/weight


And lastly, two Condor machetes in carbon steel, the Bolo and the El Salvador


I picked up a few more blades too but got them home and decided that I like my current knives better (color, scales, weight, etc) so they won't stay.

We can only speak of these on the secret "test team" forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
