Any More Sarge-7's Get Delivered Today?

I got mine today!! So light for the size, but still looks thick and mean!!

I got #556, which I thought was odd. How many were made?!?!?

I forgot which numbers I requested, but I will take a few pics tonight with it next to my Sig 556P :)
 
Its an amazing knife and thank you for such prompt delivery as always. With that being said-its more aesthetics-but since you asked... I really miss the milled-thumb notches from the 3/6 etc. I knew this going in seeing the pics, but I just think it would have only added to the F/F.

I've seen several people talking about this "notch" but I'm not sure what you are referring to. Any pics of the "notch"?

Thanks

he justs means the jimping. Google sar 6, or sar 8 and youll see exactly what he's referring to. And Skunk, shipping was fast as hell; this knife surpassed my expectations, awesome job Garth! I can't get over how light this is.. Def looking forward to more skellys and LBs from the shop!
 
Yeah I figured that the jimping would cause some more weight loss, but it feels smoother and looks pretty cool without it in a way. Mine just got in, #862 i think. I had no idea that so many sold that fast and was guessing there were alot less made.
 
Thanks Skunk, #200 arrived today. I was out so got it too late to take pictures or to take her to the woods.

First impressions:

- It is very, very, very sharp.

- I have always loved the SAR series. I think the SAR series handle is brilliant and after the B11 the SAR series are my favorite Busses.

- When I looked at the pictures online I was concerned because it looked like the NM treatment was not applied to this model, but it is, so I am happy. Apart from the visual appeal, F&F improvement that it provides, I think it makes the knives much more usable - placing thumbs on the spine, holding the blade or pushing on the spine etc.

- The SARGE removed the one thing that I could not stand on the SAR series - the super aggressive jimping. I know many like that jimping for fire-steel but I don't use knives for that. I carry a striker attached to the firesteel. It is more important for me to get leverage on the knife when doing close carving and using that area to get that leverage with the thumb, palm etc.

- And the knife really does feel very light and fast in the hand. I have been sitting here rotating the 4, 6, 8 and SARGE 7 through my hand to formulate my thoughts. All I can muster so far is a facile "It feels great". I will need to use it to determine whether "feels great" means "performs great".

But I am encouraged that you say it chops as well, if not better than the SAR 8 (or something like that, I don't recall exactly). If that is the case then this will be a winning all-rounder. I cannot wait to get it out in the woods tomorrow to feel how this treatment affects its performance.

Got mine today -- #666, which is a little creepy, particularly because I missed out on the original time, only to check back some 3 or hours later to find one was mysteriously available. Did I order it or did it choose me?

Evil or not, it's a helluva knife. It is light and balanced for its size, as others have attested, but it's still a very substantial blade. The scales are phenomenal.

Thanks to Garth, Skunk and everyone who helped create such a timeless tool.
 
Scott, thank you for the quick shipping! Great knife, can't wait to use it!! :thumbup:

:)
 
It was love at first grope Skunk! ...and that love has only intensified as I've had the pleasure of using it this afternoon. It chops surprisingly well for such a light blade and overall it simply feels right in every way. Looks like it will be an epic all-arounder...it might even de-throne my SFNOLE for that role, although that I won't know for sure until I use it some more.

Thanks for yet another awesome chunk of INFI to enjoy and the quick, easy transaction. I'm already looking forward to the next BCS release...

I dunno if this makes me a creep, but I'll give you my #4 for your 666! No I'm not spawn of satan or anything fun like that, but I do like the numerology...for real, PM me if it's an issue :-)
 
I didn't get mine. Infact, I never got any confirmation that it was shipping.

You are sending me one for free, right?

i know, i almost bought #556 myself for that reason, wonder where #223 went?.

#223 was waiting for me at the post office this morning, very cool knife!!! So far I like the feel better than the SAR8 need more time with it to rank it next to the SAR6...

Wonder if we'll ever see a SARGE-5?? Same profile as the 7 but 2" shorter.... Could make up for the SAR5 :eek:

Thanks Skunk and Busse Crew! (no inspector # or sharpened by on mine, but it's nice and sharp!) I have a GPS control point survey coming up this summer in NW Alaska using helicopters, 60+ hours of flight time planned and every pound counts, the SARGE is going to give the Boss Jack a run for it's money on getting to tag along with me.
 
I got #11 yesterday, and I am very happy because the USMC Birthday is 11/11/1775 Semper Fi! Thanks Garth for an awesome knife! I love it, it's perfect just the way it is.:thumbup:
By the way, the Mashed Cat sheath is really nice to.

I posted this pic in another thread earlier today, but I just weighed a few of the SAR series so I thought this would be a useful size and weight reference:

DSC_7080_resize.jpg


SAR 3 LE
SAR 5
SAR 4 LE
SAR 6 LE
SARSquatch
SARGE 7
SAR 8 LE


Weight:

SAR 8 G10 (18 1/4 oz)

SAR 8 LE (17 5/8 oz)

SARGE 7 (14 1/8 oz)

SARSquatch Competition Finish (16 7/8 oz)

SAR 6 LE (15 3/8 oz)

SAR 4 LE (13 5/8 oz)

SAR 5 (10 7/8 oz)

SAR 3 LE (5 1/8 oz)

I used the LE versions because they have Micarta scales and one G10 SAR 8 for comparison.
