2007 SE SOW Variant snapshots

[lunde]

I have a quest to acquire all nine of the 2007 Special Edition knives. I have seven of the nine right now, and number eight is on its way to me. Here are some photos of one of the seven in my possession, specially the SOW Variant:

Actually there are 10 2007 SE models.

At the Blade Show, Leaner Meaner Street SE's were sold.

In the Ganzaaaa, Meaner Street SE's were sold.

So there are two models of Street SE's.

Do you have a pic of both side by side?

Sigh. Another knife to buy...

The one that I have is 0.172 inches thick. It is the same thickness as my 2007 SE AD. So, which do I have? And, what is the blade thickness of the other one?

Thanks...

I don't have pics. Am off to a meeting now, will measure later.

The differences are visible at the vertical grind line. The grind transition is thicker and deeper on the Meaner, as would be expected. Otherwise, in profile they look identical.

On my Leaner Meaner SE the blade spine is bevelled. I don't remember if the Meaner SE is bevelled or not, but will check.

The Game Wardens had some differences as well.
