I used to see some of the Tarani model, uncoated, plain edge, on eBay sometimes. Haven't seen one for some time now. Just wondering if this is because it is simply rare to see someone list one which is in excellent shape.
What do you think? Really hard to find? I have a ZT for trade on this and another site, with the Tarani being one of the things I was looking but so far none have surfaced.Thanks for any input.
 
Are you reffering to the 882 or 887 models? The 882 came in either black taccom handles (or G-10) with a partially serrated ATS-34 blade.
The 887 was black taccom with part. serrated 420HC blade.
There were very few of those sold in plain edge. They were never offered as a factory model with plain edge. Most were build outs after the collaboration with strider came to an end. (IIRC)

The 889 came with a coyote brown, green, or black handle, but they had the black oxide plain edge blade.
 
now I am confused. The last one I saw listed had a plain edge, satin type finish, and about 3.5 inches or longer. Not sure if I got the model wrong?
 
Any one of these look familiar?? That should help some.

The tan one and the one on the bottom both look familiar. The one I saw was a PE blade though. Think it might have been a rare variiation or maybe a knock off? I appreicate the help. What are the model numbers on these two?
 
The bottom one with G-10 handle is an 882 SBTG and the tan one is an 889 SBMF build out. It has the 882 ATS-34 blade in it.

You may have seen a plain edge version of these, but they are usually hard to find. I have only seen 2 myself, and would like one :D
 
Looks like I might be better off just going with the serrations and then send it out for reprofiling to take off the serrations.
