You're quite welcome Martin! I recognized your name from the Swamp, but I don't spend a lot of time there. The Scrapyard is home to me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard, Martin. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

hi martin! i was just looking at your site and now here you are....coincidence??? i think not! welcome!

I did a search for 'tanker grey' and 'tank gray' and came up with nothing. Anyone have a photo to share? Bring on the orange handle (and cobalt blue!)

Great lookin sheaths Martin.

I am a teacher too, so I know waht you are talking about. My wife works in the special ed dept as a para so we don't make a lot but at least we have jobs right now. I generally get to keep some of my coaching stipends (not going to call it pay when you figure it is less than a buck an hour with all the hrs and weekends that I give up).

BTW, what do you teach? I teach his US History, World History, and a Street Law senior survey course.

Sadly.... The Swamp "Used" to be a great place to hang out. It "used" to be like home. But, the Swamp isn't NEARLY what it used to be.

People like SR-101 and "RELEASES". It gives something to talk about and be excited about.

The M9LE is GOING to be a GREAT knife. People will be wanting it after many probably decided to pass. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

But, I think letting the Swamp "Forum" fall is sadly hurting Swamp knives in multiple ways. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I for one, REALLY like SR-101 and continue to hope for more great Swamp Rat blades. But.... I am VERY excited to see Dan bring us the SR-101 / Res-C combo again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I can't remember if I said it here or in another thread but I hope sage is a blade coating color and the handle can either brown, or tan. If it is tan it will be brown by the time i am through with it LOL

Amen to that Brother!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Tanker Gray is .... um... one of those gray ones on the right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

That is how I fix my "Tan" micarta. I like to get it dark brown.

I just wish dark brown came as a "Common" micarta option. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Some micarta colors I like:

Hello Martin and welcome. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nice sheaths by the way...


As for handle colors/blade colors...I would like to see the arctic white blade with the blue scales...But i like most of the color combos.

Just curious...with the different color configurations being offered - how many of you still plan on purchasing a black/black S5?

Thanks.
