KC Scores - 04/11/15 03:14 AM

Wasn't planning on going, but my shoulder scope got cancelled. My shoulder is still in pain, but I picked these up. Anybody know how Jim is, he wasn't there.

Congrats!
Jim hasn't been on the forum for awhile. I think he had mentioned that he had invested enough money in blades, I could be wrong though. Jim was great and always took a ton of pics.

If possible can you give us the specs on the blades? I really like the long thinner ones in the middle!

I bet the handles on all are really comfortable

Very Nice! Congrats on some great scores. Hope that recurve makes it to production. Would love to have one with some liners added.

Mountainmandu? That' the M9 I've been waiting for! To bad I'm broke grin

I miss Jim. Hope he's OK. Always one of the friendlier dogs on the porch.

Thin is cool, but you have to know how to handle it to really make it perform the way you want wink

If I had known you were going to Knob Creek I would have asked you to proxy for me. shocked

From Left to Right

Full Length : Blade Length : Width : Thickness
1. 12" : 7" : 1.5" : .19"
2. 13" : 7.5" : 1 15/16" : .17"
3. 15" : 9.5" : 1.5" : .19"
4. 15" : 9.75" : 1 5/8" : .19"
5. 15" : 9 5/8" : 1.75" : .17"
6. 15.25" : 9.75" : 2" : .28"

I'll have to do weights later...can't find scale. Dang, won't format correctly.

I would have done that for you in a heartbeat. I had shoulder microscopy scheduled at 11, got cancelled at 10. Got in the car and said heck with it.

Re: KC Scores - 04/11/15 04:26 AM

Understandable. wink Is it true that 3 or 4 guys bought up almost everything? smirk
Posted By: luck

Re: KC Scores - 04/11/15 04:36 AM

I think around 20 showed up. 4 to 6 bought up most...but they were very accommodating to everyone.

Everyone in the room was asking each other they where looking for.

The guy who drew the first pick actually gave it up later to a new guy.

It's not what it seems. A lot of camaraderie, and less hoggish than you would think.

They wouldn't admit it but it's very friendly atmosphere, except everyone hates the one who should not be named.

Re: KC Scores - 04/11/15 04:39 AM

That's nice to hear, though I figured the re-sellers helped each other. Good to hear that a newbie got a chance. wink
Posted By: luck

Re: KC Scores - 04/11/15 05:02 AM

If anything the re-sellers are actually against each other, but help the others out.
Like I said it's a lot friendlier than you would think.

I'm very confident that if I made it known I was looking for something specific, it would be in my hands before the end of the night.

Blade seems to be way more competitive or cut throat than KC.

Re: KC Scores - 04/11/15 09:37 AM

Man, I so desperately hope, that #6 will be offered at Blade.

Really interesting grindprofile.
Looks like it is really thick, but with a grind that makes the edge relatively thin.

I think there might be a chance. This was the only SR77 SW not marked prototype...so I'm going to guess this one is production...but what do I know. Take that with a grain of salt.

It would be all kinds of awesome, if it becomes a production model.
I think it would be a beast of a chopper!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing the pix and the specs!!
I'm really likin' #3 and #6!!!
I hope they pop up in the Swamp!!!!

Re: KC Scores - 04/13/15 11:47 PM

I was able to knab #2 and #6, although my price was different than luck's (I paid 238.95 plus tax), so maybe different. Lots of variations out there.
#2 is like a SarSquatch without the swedge, and should have a chopping report on #6 in a few days

That comparison to #2 got my attention. I regret selling my squatch. The #2 a saber ground?

LE check your invoice on that one. The non discount tag price was 238.95, but it had a KC show special price of $198.95.

Re: KC Scores - 04/14/15 06:45 PM

Didn't see very many from the yard. A lot of daggers and scrapivores along with some 511 variants. I did get a 1311 variant that I'll post later.

Re: KC Scores - 04/14/15 06:47 PM

Hmmmm...a 1311 variant should be REAL interesting! grin

1311 variant:

same length as 1311
16.5 oz vs 19 oz feels even lighter in hand
Front unsharpened wedge is 6.5"
Material taken off between handle and the start of wedge

I think there was 2 or 3 of these at the very most.

Bad pics, but it's cloudy

Re: KC Scores - 04/15/15 10:01 PM

How does it feel in the hand? Is it awkwardly balanced?

I love the blade shape and profile.

Re: KC Scores - 04/15/15 10:07 PM

VERY interesting. Thanks for the specs. Luck! wink
Posted By: luck

Re: KC Scores - 04/15/15 10:08 PM

It just feels lighter...a lot lighter.

Not necessarily awkward, but light.

Did I say it feels light?

Just light.
