Photos please! Are these coming up for order on the website? Any other info on different blades that might make it to the site? ASH2?
 
He's just teasing us....:grumpy: Actually he's probably drunk with the rest of the HOGS, lol.
 
:)

We had a blast!! Will be home soon with pics.
We scored a few sweet blades including a CG SwatManDu in blk digi camo, the B8 CG, a lil smokie, and a aged bronze short Butaniku!!
 
Thanks for the post Al! Is the blade thicker or just coated?

Glad you had a great time and sounds like you scored some excellent knives!!!
 
They are thinner
Like 3/16" my guess
 
Thanks for the reply Al!!!:thumbup:

The originals were just under 1/4" too, so it sounds like they painted (or Cerakoted maybe?) some left over LE's.
 
Yes, the CG fits in the same sheath that the LE does. Only very tight due to the coating. I had to have Buy Brown loosen the LE sheath just a little.
 
Here is the one I purchased with Buy brown sheath. I know the pictures are not great.

Thanks Brian! Finally some pics. :D

That a great looking blade. :thumbup:

What colors were available? Were they all full flat and standard thickness?
 
Colors were black, tan, green and grey. Blade shape is same as LE. I picked up an extra blk B8 that I was going to post up once my package arrives from Fed Ex. PM if you are interested before then and we cam work out a price.
 
The handle is thicker and the blade is definitely thinner.
I would recommend buying a sheath made for the specific combat grade B8.
