Before there was a 1 of 300 (pic heavy)…

LIL FOO, you got a huge piece of INFI history. The beginnings of INFI is right there.

The amazing part is the Rc of 65. I would love to see how long that knife would last in a cutting competition. I bet it would run everything else made today into the ground in slicing power.

You done good Hog.:thumbup:

Hey can you measure the lengths of both knives?

also they both assymetrical edge?

The article BM has the asymmetrical edge... the blade remains very thick all the way down to about a 1/4" from the edge before the convex asymmetric edge starts. The smooth bolt has a convex symmetric edge.

Both have a blade height (at the peak of the clip point) of 1-13/16" high and the length from the micarta to tip is 10-3/8"

one thing you will find with all the early SHBM's is that no two are exactly the same width or the same length or thickness. Because they were hand finished. I think the ones that looked similar were probably closer than the ones that differed more. Very cool, great pics. I copied them all:thumbup:
 
Wow!!! No really a Big WOW!!! Major congrats on a Major Score bro!:thumbup::cool:

So how much has Cobalt's offers gotten up too?;):p
 
Now that is a big knife with a big story :thumbup::thumbup: I think I remember seeing that knife in some of Ron's videos also. I could be wrong though cause it has been a long time.

Congrats on such a great piece of INFI history. I assume you still have 2 kidneys ;)

Like I said on the Phone;

"Ya Done Good Lil' Foo"

Very nice Score, two very nice, each a one of a kind Straight Battle Mistresses.

First the Article knife way thick and proto for Asym grind also special clip grind, then the Smooth Bolt 65rc knife?

Very Cool no doubt.

Great talking to you Andre.

What do you mean by special clip grind? :confused:

I'm really curious about the 65Rc smooth bolt... I read somewhere that INFI only gets
harder with heat (to a certain extent anyway)...
so I wonder if Jerry did do the re-grind to lighten it up? :confused:


Cobalt - Ron did comment on how well the 65 Rc blade held an edge...
that would be a great competition to watch. :thumbup:

::sigh:: Maybe some day I'll get my hands on one...

Nice scores, brother! :thumbup:
 
Yup, the Side cuts on the Article knife look to be Shallower than most of the first 300 knives that I have seen, leaving a wider flat top on the Front Clip, sort of the opposite of the one of six or so of the first 300 being cut deeper as to be either false sharpened all the way to the top, or at least till the top is round instead of flat, all done by hand no doubt and freehand at that and every batch prolly a little different, and this one prolly done by itself as opposed to being part of a Batch.

It would take looking at a bunch of pictures to see if others might thave been done this way, might even be a new "Sub-set" like the one of six round tops in the first 300.

So Far this is the only one I can remember looking quite like this.
 
Wow!:eek: I'm sitting here in a pile of piglet doo-doo gazing in wonder at an Uber Hog prancing around the pen.
Awesome score, great post.:thumbup:

Skunks #500 LE has a similar bevel at the tip but is not assymetrical. Very similar grind
 
My 1/100 has the almost round-over clip, except for the flat spot from my 20oz framing hammer, but a conventional grind. Thought about trying to get those years ago but never did.
Nice score lil' foo;)

WOW!!
