Did someone say LB? I missed that. If so, it's still a no go until the cg version comes out.

Gotcha, that really confused me.....

What do you think these things are going to fetch on the secondary market being so limited?

Likely not too much over offering price because there may be 6 versions of the SHBM. This LB swedge point, an LE w/out swedge and a GC...all 3 with and without choil.

Plus it's not just 300 total, it's upwards of 300 each choil and non.

Good luck to everyone that is going to try to get in on this ganza!

Well, that being said I'll probably just sit this one out. I was considering trying for choilless version, but can't really justify what will likely amount to $650+ for it.

I'm hoping the CG will come in around $400 or so, It wouldn't surprise me. I'm already picturing a sterile, competition finish on black G-10 CG version.....

But as I understand it these special swedge point variants will be the rarest of all the new SHBM offerings...so, over the long-term they may see the highest (I'm not a fan of talking about this type stuff---possible value) increase (proportionally) over the other possible variants.

And, without official word we cannot know how many varieties will ultimately be offered.

Boils down to---if THIS knife is what you want, as it's offered. No guarantee of other versions.

But we were told the CG NMFSH wasn't going to happen, then did.

It makes the head spin.

If "you" like what is offered, get it!

I would love a CG in my halloween theme. Jungle green blade orange and black g10.

If the SHBM is like the AMS release it won't be available in competition finish, just double cut, satin and coated....I would like to see a CF tho

It just might be available in time for Halloween.

Or not.

There'll be a bit more offered as well, including 311s and 711s; prices to be announced:
