I'm confused. I need pics.
 
Pics will be up when I get home tonight. Feel free to guess what INFI magic escaped the Wauseon compound in the mean time. :)
 
Satin NMFBM with tiger micarta handles.......eeeeewwwwwweeeee that would be sweet!
 
I'm going with satin/bruiser, chopper, from custom shop. I think I've seen pictures of this beauty. I'll keep my mouth shut.
 
By the way you know you are a Busse fanatic when you risk getting yelled at by Mexican customs for being on your phone so that you can see what knife Tim got:D
 
Long curvy black 'poon snake...

Probably not appropriate for me to guess.

At the risk of how this may sound, I'm looking forward to pics.
 
One of the guesses has me verklempt about it being so close... and usually I don't get this worked up over a non bruiser! ;)
 
This Moabolo was made just how I asked with specific user oriented features and it turned out amazing! This was well worth the wait!
Before anyone asks, the scales were sacrificed from the CF CGFBM which now has much nicer feeling handshaped magnum black canvas scales to make the thickness feel right.
The snakeskin scales required the handle height to be reduced to the old cgfbm specs (a good thing for me) and combined with the blade thickness, it is exactly right, just like the old hogs have always said.
The harpoon tip is for the ability to chop roots or other objects that might ding the cutting edge while leaving the full cgfbm length of spine behind the harpoon to baton.
The skull crusher is rounded off to a bird's beak so as to provide a safe, round butt for use.
The total amount of material removed reduced the overall weight to just over 32 oz of chopping perfection! :thumbup:

Thanks to Garth for approving my request, Beef for sharpening it, Lexi for communicating along with whoever else might have helped get this grail made!
 
The words "Awesome" and "Beast" get thrown around a lot..

In this case, they are most appropriate..

What a beauty..nice get.

Now,..beat and strip...in whatever order you see fit.
 
OUTSTANDING!!!! That is a Fine Piece of workmanship....Congrats...:thumbup:
 
Well ain't that just the coolest knife I have ever laid my eyes on.

Congratulations Tim, That is beautiful.
