i LOVE them!
though i must say, the HRLM is much heavier than the S5 which struck me as odd until i remembered that its full tang. absolutely love the micarta, i think ive been hooked...i ordered black canvass but decided to rub some 3 in 1 into it and darkened it up significantly and the best part is that it didnt affect its grippyness at all which was also surprising.
already did an OD green wrap on the tanker gray warden (my hrlm is gray too) and i must admit i wasnt a huge fan of the gray ( i liked it but i though id prefer black) but the combo of gray and green actually looks pretty sweet.
might bend some kydex with Jrod on sunday for the two of them, im anxious to use them already.
both came pretty [censored] sharp too, i cut myself twice with the warden while wrapping lol, nothing too serious but blood was indeed drawn.
im really frustrated i cant find the camera usb, id like to ask you guys how my wrap looks..
anyways, id like to see some more threads of when your steel comes in!
im dying to see you guys beating your wieners some since i decided that a wiener just isnt for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

Congats on the Rats. Got mine today too, and no pics either. I'm gonna try a few handle wraps on the Wardens tonight and see what feels best.

I got two one Tanker Grey one Sage Tanker Grey has good coating! Sage has some coating missing. Inside the hole a small strip is missing. And just (and it is barly noticeble)outside of the hole on the flat. I'm sure that's where it was hanging from.

I THINK it is a combo of more than just one color and is therefore thicker than the other finishes. It seems as if that is what "fills in the gaps" the normal crinkle finish leaves.
