Almost there

[Maqua]

My Model 14 should be ready in March. Hope it is worth the 5 year wait. Should've just gone to A.G. Russell.

Hah, you're almost there, and I'm sure you'll be happy with it, but we need details Maq - specs, options, features, etc! And, on the odd chance that you're not perfectly happy with it for whatever reason, I'll buy it from ya sight unseen...seems like most of the new Randall knives I buy these days are from folks that would rather have, or need, the cash. The knives are all top shelf, so, who knows. *shrugs*

p.s. Cool 'tube video, but WTF happened to your thumb? It looks kinda like mine did after I whacked the stuffed bunny with the MOAB at the 2004 Blade West show...the heavy blade bounced off the table and came back down on my table braced off hand thumb. That one really hurt later...

It's been so long I can't recall fully the details. I know I ordered it in O-1 with border patrol handle and some kind of nickel silver guard (I think). Guess I'll have to wait and see what I really ordered. Oh yes, there will be photos. Poorly executed photos, but photos none-the-less.

Oh yeah, my thumb....that's what happens when I mix boredom and carelessness with a big, sharp CGFBM. I saw the cutoff piece of thumb fly up in the air and then disappear into the ivy and ground clutter. It could've been worse.
