Hey Jerry, if you make a batch of these, we will stop bugging you about them! If you want to make them a little different from the original MOAB, a 15" fat blade sounds good too. BG MOAB / INFI MOAB / Basic MOAB! .
That sounds pretty tempting, as long as I can get a fat one too (.35-.40"). I like the HOGB8 @ .35" thick, but a longer one with a MOAB style blade would be AWESOME! .
Cmon guys.. it's not the babysitter of all bowies..or the older cousin of all bowies..its the "mother" of all Bowies so its gotta be heavy an thick. Now is she a single mother? Or is there a father we havent seen yet??!!
I'll buy a FOAB with a 15" long, .40" thick MOAB style blade, or especially a .35" thick Basic FOAB! .
What if we have a new BASIC MOAB that's lean and slender after the birth of their child (AR9.5), while we've got a burly hog of a FOAB?
That sounds good to me. I will even give them both a home, so they are not homeless during the cold winters and hot summers - they will have to work though, so I hope they both have a Res C option. .
I've always been interested to know if RES C plays well with kydex sheaths. I know a lot of knives "snap" into the kydex. Is RES C too grippy? I don't own any yet as I'm waiting for a 6-8 inch blade to be released in INFI
I've had a B11 from a member here that came with an Okuden kydex sheath and it snaps in really nicely. Just like any other knife. However, I think they made the top of the sheath flare out a little more to make sure the rubbery grip has a little more "ramp".
Res C does fine with kydex unless the kydex fit is too tight and then the Res C will wear a little. Regarding being too grippy, I don't feel it is; I think Res C is harder than some of the other rubber used for knife grips. Res C is good stuff! Speaking of Res C, where is the Basic MOAB? BG MOAB / INFI MOAB / Basic MOAB! .
At one point in this thread I suggested offering the new MOAB in 3 different thicknesses (like maybe .2, .3 & .4"), like the ASH1, and I still think sales would be brisk! BG MOAB / INFI MOAB / Basic MOAB! .
With the new rumblings coming from the Swamp & the Yard, hopefully a MOAB clone will be forthcoming soon! BG MOAB / INFI MOAB / Basic MOAB! Psst, hey Dan, we NEED a 14-16" MOAB style blade - call it a MOAB, FOAB, Alpha Dog, or whatever, but it has to have a full flat ground FAT blade styled just like the MOAB. A Res C option is a must-have also. Thanks! .
