Thanks. I've actually received two PMs from people who saw the sale thread and have asked me to contact them if I ever decide to sell it. The lighting wasn't great for my picture -- the Bushfinger looks much better in person.

Nice scores Jim! That boss street is pretty sweet in all orange! and that fiddleback is killer! I am a fan of A2, how thick is it, got a spine shot?

The Bushfinger is 5/32-inch (about 0.16) thick, which is a little thinner than the BOSS Street, which specs at 0.220 thick. It's got a 4 1/2-inch handle/4-inch blade. It's my third Fiddleback (this one, a KPH, and a KE Bushie) -- the handles of all three fit my hand wonderfully. The only reservation I have about them is how smooth they are, which feels great dry but I'm not sure how good a grip they'd provide if wet.
The BOSS Street is a strange model to me -- the overall design really doesn't appeal to me visually; I think it looks kind of "blocky". Aesthetics aside, the BOSS Street handles feel great in my hand -- the ergonomics fit me well and the handle cuts provide a secure grip without biting (hey, I'm an office guy, I no longer have the calluses that I did when I worked for a living). The balance is great for an EDC sized blade -- it's a model that I didn't want until I held one, but then decided that they were great. This all-orange one and my dagger-ground, bowie-shaped custom from the last KC were especially attractive to me because they're one-offs.

Do you suppose those Ratmandu's no. 21&12,are false edges or sharp? I would HAVE to sharpen them up.

Pretty sure the Ratchutemandu was sharpened. So I'm thinking they are sharp. Those are some sick blades for sure. I can wait to see a double edge Waki! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
I'm way tempted by that jungle green scrap. trying my best to get my suns and moons to align.

Today is The General's birthday, so I think I will save money and just take her out for dinner and miss the Ganza. Besides, I already ordered two 7-11's. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
