75 remain.

I think these may be more attractive in person. Look forward to seeing pics.

 

[pjsjr]

Not for me, I'm passing.

That sold out just in time. I was about to do something rash.

 

[BuckShack]

Me too.

I like the marksman knives I have.
But I never carry them, and I don't need another safe queen.

They are great knives tho.

Is it me, or does the blade shape look like it wanted to be a tanto but changed it's mind?

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Yo Mama]

This is an abomination if they were gonna bring back the marksman, they could’ve done it 95 different better ways. The handle looks cheap. And colors mixed wrong. It looks so bad. I’m gonna have to go take a shower.

Got mine today, can't post pics though. Only give it a quick flip before putting it away to make dinner

 

[BigMoney]

Got mine. Just as ugly in person.

 

[pat9198]

Got mine as well. I’ve been hoping for a Marksman BOTM for a while now so I had to bite. The black and red match my truck, and the white matches the gravel dust on it.

Makes me think of those celluloid scales patterns you used to see, but with texturing on top

 

[BigMoney]

I got a big white blob on one side

more i think about it......these are gonna be great users. can't really ruin scales visually with dirt, stains and mess. blade's a really balanced and decent user steel. price wasn't too bad considering pricing on knives from all makers nowadays.

I agree.
If I didn't already have a few I'd have purchased one.
Yeah it's sorta ugly, but still a great knife.
But then who wants to spend $175 on a knife if you think it's ugly?
JMO.
✌

someone that wants a user for dirty and nasty tasks and not worry about making it ugly by using it. that's what im thinking on it.

 

[BigMoney]

idk about dirty work. That set screw hole for the lock adjustment looked like it’d get full of crud.

I do like the look of not having the hole in the blade for opening like most the other marksman have.

true could, but toothpick and hot water soap....knife is 154cm stainless and g10...can't really harm it washing it clean....if ya dry it oil bearing etc.

Mike did an over the top torture test on one once....it did real well being tossed down the street. thrown down at the asphault. run over in the truck on purpose to get it to fail and come apart and have that set screw setup come loose. my memory was the pocket clip came off....was the worst thing.

 

[SharpBits]

Maybe they’ll release a plain web special version? I can dream…

That sounds like the torture tests that Larry Vickers used to put Glocks through.
