Don't forget to post pics when you get a minute!

Bumping this to say, I finally found the black Baby Boa (with the help of a friend). Thanks for the knife tip. I didn't know they made an all black. It will go with my Boa very nicely. Just one issue... It's on fleabay, and I don't have a PayPal account. [Facepalm slap] I'm a little angry about it.

And here is that pic. I'm adding a Needs Work 1820BLK to the group this week too.

Now you're just teasing me!

I'm getting some custom black G10 scales for my new Needs Work 1820BLK. Cool thing is it will still have the assist. The guy does orange G10 as well. It looks like he has templates for quite a few Kershaws and ZTs. If you're looking for orange scales, I'll shoot you his info (if you don't already had it).

also, my newest addition, as promised:

never seen an all black JYD before, so of course i had to jump on the chance to own it.

Oh man! That looks great! I just slapped a ham to those pics Orange. I learned they made an all black JYD last week. I think I found a sorce for them. I'm still needing to contact them to confirm. But the serrades don't fit me. So when I get it in, I'm going to grind them out and turn the blade shape to a recurve Spec Bump type blade. That's the plan anyway.

I don't really dig the serrations either, but I will let you be the guinea pig on the regrind. I would love to see pics when you get it done! This is my first time handling a JYD and I now understand what all the fuss is about. It is one of the smoothest opening knives I own, and the ergos are great. If only it didn't have that awful looking mall-ninja pocket clip. The weird thing about the all black model is that even when you search the model number (1725BLKST) most of the results have a non-coated blade. I would love to know the back story on the all black version.
