Couple shots of the Terror Monkey Natural Outlaw I grabbed while out shooting pics today. The colors are more accurate in the concrete picture... the color shift in the other picture is due to coloration of the light reflecting from house wall.

Thanks for the pics and sharing.
One of the blades I shouldn't have sold. :grumpy:

It's possible to color correct pictures. What software are you using?

I resized these shots in LView 1.C, although I sometimes use Photoshop if I want more control. I just did a quick 'n dirty resize (originally 1600x1200) then some cropping. I was bein' lazy today... Mea Culpa! ;) :D
 
Hey RokJok I just noticed your butt's not the same as mine. Has yours had work?

Different handle pattern too.... Interesting!
 
Wow...I REALLY like the "almost EU" handle on that sabre NO. VERY nice, guys. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure when the Terror Monkey series came out. It's been at least four years, because I had the TM NO when I moved last time. I can't seem to find that release date info online, although I'm pretty sure it's out there somewhere. Perhaps one of our Busse Combat historians can fill us in on that release date.

Now is that any kind of question to ask another guy on a public family-oriented forum? ;) :D

Oh..... you meant the knife. Yeah, I noted the difference too. Yours is a SH, right? If so, the handle differences may have fallen along model lines.

Some Terror Monkey handle info from BusseCollector.com, which matches info attributed to Seth Murdoc in a post on britishblades.com.
TM - Terror Monkey - Rumored to have been made for an Israeli special unit specializing in rappelling, these knives had a special coating and 2 handle variations, one EU-17 style, and another that thinned out the index finger area, and the curve going towards the butt. They were made from ZT (Zero Tolerance) blade blanks, in BM, SH, and NO versions. They were offered with either new-style serrations or plain edge.
 
Wow that knife is amazing. Any chance to see that one in person at blade west?

It'll be good to see you there, Greg. It's been a while. :thumbup:
 
Hi Joules, I'll have to make a conscientious effort (if sobriety mysteriously occurs and the ADD abatement program works ;) ) to throw that one in the "show & tell" bag for this year. Looking forward to seeing you & the rest of the derelict debauched horde.... er... uh... I mean Brothers In Blades. Yeah... that's it... mi hermanos! ;) :D
