MM, I got a knife that is unmentionable for a bit but I know mine is not going anywhere. You are right, that is if you and I are talking about the same thing wink wink.

Evening Sumo...

Looks like there may be some interesting knife sales in the coming weeks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think I found a chink in my buying stratgy, buying only one knife makes it hard to get rid of one when I find another one I want. I have let a few Rats go the last few weeks and probably let my last HC go since I have got in on some Busse blades. Something about SY and Busse, nothing wrong with Rats it is I prefer the other two.

Yeah, I'm finding myself getting rid of a lot of knives that I really really like. I've got student loans to pay and steel is less important than food so I am letting some cool stuff out the door. Still can't believe I sacrificed my M9LE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Evening Walker, and yes it does look like it might be an interesting knife buying/selling time. I have not been able to pull the trigger on a BWM since I love my CGFBM. I know I will probably regret not getting one but with Christmas and all coming up I got to be smart.

That surprised me too when I saw you had it for sale. I would have jumped on it if I had the funds.

MM, but from the sound of it the BWM is what you want/need anyway. So the loss of the M9LE is tragic but not too bad. I got rid of my M9LE to get my tan SOD back and a few other things--of course that was after I got the DDF and CGFBM.

I only have a small collection of knives but I can't imagine selling any of them.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that a Bama M9CG will show up at some point, and I can replace the LE I'm letting go <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

A tan SOD and a DDF. Nice set..

You just need a tan Yard Keeper for a great trio. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I need to figure out how to strip a coating off. I traded for a HG55 that had the top layer of paint stripped but there is a base coating like a grayish parkerizing. I love how the HG55 feels in hand, but the previous owner had started a convex job on it so it needs one of them finished out. I don't have the machine and hand time is killing me. Need a good carry sheath for it too. Not sure if I want kydex or a leather.
