nice, same here. i used to have that problem but then i realized i am spending hundreds on a great new knife while i take out use and beat the crap out of the much cheaper ones. i realized that didnt make any sense so now i just use them all in rotations that way i dont feel bad about having so many, they all get used right?

hahaa. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

both look great, but nothing beats a nice satin to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice scores, that is one of my favorite busse designs (without having tested it at this point). I would love to put the micarta scales on the satin model on the cg blade grind and satin finish.

Very sexy blade MM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The smooth bolts with that handle material sure look nice.

Bump just because this knife is so sweet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Trade you a Killa Zilla for both of them. Heck, I'll even paint it with Rustoleum for that Bama Clay look.

I can't get rid of the one I have already - what am I gonna do with another?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

It's funny, I'm generally not a big fan of the six inch length on a knife - it's sort on in a no man's land that's too short to chop but too long to do fine tasks. But on the SJTAC, it just works. That's a very handy piece of INFI, right there.


So no, I won't trade my very useful SJTACs for the very NOT practical killa zilla. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I handled some SJTACs at Blade. I was very impressed with the feel and balance of them. I am wishing I had passed on the KZ and got one of them instead. I had a BATAC, but the balance wasn't right to me. The longer blade made all the difference.

That's plumb beautiful!! MM, all you probably need is a good macro lens. I'm assuming you took these with a standard wide-angle. I'm shopping for a decent macro.

The macro lens might be a problem - all I own is a point and shoot, with no interchangeable lens. I need to upgrade to a DSLR soon, though.

Me too. But if you REALLY want to get a close pic with one, you can take a pic through a magnifying glass or microscope. Here's an example I took:

This is the whiskers of the Rat symbol on my OD RMD through a microscope.
