Amy & Busse Brung it

[Tony G]

Amy,

I got the UG/Black & Tan today. It is great and it shaves like a ZDP Spyderco! :thumbup:

Also the slabs seem more finished than my Black Mag G-10 FBM and even seem a little smaller in the hand. I have to go do things I can charge people for right now. I'll tale some measurements and photos later.

.....shaves like a ZDP Spyderco!

Those are amazing! I just picked up a ZDP Calypso off the Exchange ( wouldn't have seen it if there was a separate Busse exchange ), and I can't get over how wicked sharp it is. The edge profile seems to be a much shallower angle than my regular VG10 Calypso, so that's certainly the reason; but I assume they know the edge can survive at that angle with this steel.

Great minds DO think alike!!!

Here are some photos

The Black and Tan knife does have smaller mag scales vs the Black G-10 and the LE. I think it is because they are more rounded as I have tried to show in the photos, and they are thinner by just three tenths of an inch.

Also the blade isn't as wide by three tenths. I think you can see that in the photos.

Oh and some other nice little knife came today too:thumbup:

Gets my vote for best handle color.

Is it my imagination or is one side of the black G10 bigger?

No it is symmetrical, it is just the photo angle and light that make it look like that.

Sweeeeeeett, my UG/Blk&tan brother!!!

I am very pleased with the apearance of my Urban Shadow Camo/Black and Tan FBM CG.

My handle doesn't have much of the tan color, it looks great against the grey blade.

I think there was some matching involved when the blades were mated with handles. Mine are very consistent side to side but they have a lot less tan color than many of the pictures.

I think I'm going to start EDCing it. The camo should make it disapear on my hip. No one will notice.

That is why I don't like Camo, I'd never find the knife in my house.

Nice! Real nice! The more FBM pics I see the more I wish I could order more!

 

[Jaxx]

I hear ya about the camo... I had mine on some gray, looked UG and I took a pic, posted it here, and now I remember that I have the USC as you can tell... It just blended right in to the gray!!! ...Speaking of blended... *hic* LOL

I should have gone with black/tan mags with tan blade. Maybe skunk will have some at the store.
