Almost. So very very close.

Baliforumites: The 44S, 45 and 48. Anyone has a 44 they would like to get rid off?

BTW, forgot to thank a certain pastry chef for helping me complete this little collection.

Very nice Tony, you've done well! Looks similar to a set i've got, only i wish my 45 was in a bit better condition. The search goes on!!!

Hey how did you put the serrated edge on the tanto balde???
Or did you get it like that from BM??

Good job Tony!!

And Soul..., yes...BM made both partially serrated and non-serrated Model 44's, so the knife did come that way.

Is that the 45 you bought from Chris?

Yes it was. It was in better shape than I thought.

Here, you can see the 44 both ways.

Cool, I was the original owner. The sharpening scuffs were from an attempt to remove a tiny 'tooth' at the tip, a bit of extra metal at the very end. I really never cut with it, or flipped it much at all. Can't say that about the Bear beater I bought right after I sent off the 45. Looking forward to buying a quality flipper now, maybe a Tachyon. Glad you liked the 45

Well sir, it's found a good home with lots of brothers and sisters to play with. When I get a chance I'll buff out those sharpening marks. I'm glad you decided to part with it. Go with the Tachyon, can't lose.

Love that 48 Tony..

it's funny to me., but mine look different than that one (just a little)....and only the end-angle of the grind.., but a nice set to be sure

Tony,

Nice set there. Looks like a good napoleon cutter

Tony, want to get rid of the 48? Been kicking myself since I sold my last one. Didn't find out BM stopped making them until this year. A pox on them for that.

Sorry Navajo. Took me a while to find this one, so I'm going to enjoy it for some time. Especially if my favorite pastry chef makes me some Napoleons. I'll keep you in mind if I run across another one.

Thanks for keeping me in mind. I REALLY want another 48. IMHO it was the best compromise between tool and weapon. BM, are you listening???
