Oh, sorry. Just trying a few possibilities on for size. :D

I figure you're gonna need it ... and sooner than you think! :cool:
 
My favorite snakeskin pattern.

I need to pick up a SJTAC with that pattern.

Congrats on the blade. :thumbup:

Man, it took a while, but I FINALLY ripped open my USPS box today that had travelled all the way from Alaska to the south of Africa and extracted this awesome BATAC....

I was able to see immediately what the fuss was all about, and it is only possible to fully comprehend why these knives are so special when you actually handle one.

None of the awesome pics I have seen can fully do it justice. It feels like a serious tool in the hand, and after I cut up the blue and red and white box with it, which is my ritual, I could immediately tell that is a cutting machine.

I can also see where the addiction factor comes in. I immediately started craving more... even though I am on a strict steel-free diet until way after Xmas.

I am really stoked I managed to score one of the snakeskin models, as this is truly a magnificent material. Even my wife commented on its beauty.

Ladeez and gennulmen, I give you - my very first Busse! The totally awesome Badger Attack CG...

I am glad that your BATAC finally arrived and that you are impressed with its form and function. Its a great introduction to Busseworld.

Lekker, ek sê!

Thanks guys!

Jaxx: No probs, I'll get some better snaps on the weekend. The artificial light definitely makes a difference, you're right about that. I think the knife was purchased by the dealer (Alaska Gun) at a show, possibly Blade West. I could check with them.

She's a real honey, either way :D Now I just need some pants to match. I'm thinking Spec-Ops, seems to be a popular choice for BATACs.

buffalohump, congrats on your new BATAC!!! She's a beauty... Yeah, I see what you mean, in the pic it does have that greenish tint like the Sage color has. Could you maybe snap a few pix outside with it?? :) LOL more gratuitous knife porn, OH yeah! :D ...Might help to determine its true 'colors' when we're done gawkin' at it, LOL :D:thumbup: As far as was there a Sage & Snakeskin combo offered... I believe that there was NOT, which would make yours and maybe a few others like it pretty darn rare, as far as this color combo is concerned.

Congrats on the new Blade! Yep, there will be more....many, you may still have time to run. Nah, I'm sure it's to late now, it only took one to get me and it was just a little GW.

That Tan does have a sage look to it. I'm with Jaxx, try and post a pic with natural light. If it still looks sage it will be the first I've seen like it.
We love pics, thanks.
 
No problemo.... I'll definitely try to capture her in all her glory. ; )

What do you guys suggest for a sheath? Is the Spec-Ops Combat Master a good fit?

Yes on the sheath. Mine wears the same, but I modified the insert by heating/shrinking it to fit a little more snug.
BTW,

I had a leather sheath made for mine, so I'm not sure about the sheath.

I do think some here have bought the spec-op and love it.

How about it folks, does your BATAC ride good in the spec-op Combat Master?
edit- mymindsamob already told you
 
Here's a better shot in natural light....

It sure looks like tan, but its a crinkle coat for sure.
