Can someone tell me more about this gigantic piece of infi madness?? Specs? I saw the pics of it from the 2003 blade shows with the fusion handle and I instantly wanted one (that and the fusion battle mistress among others).

So how do I order one? I looked at the list of 2005 releases, but I didn't see it on the list. Any idea if there are plans to release the MOAB anytime soon?

Also, what was the original design purpose of the knife? And for those who've handled it, how's it feel in the hand?
 
I know one person who can provide an insiders scoop.......

The MOAB isn't a standard production piece. Jerry was taking order as of a couple months ago but that could have changed. To my knowledge many are on order but only one has made it out of the shop to date. Believe it or not it's design purpose was to be a joke...I'm not joking. His hope was that once he released something that big in 3/8" all of us fatty lovers would shut the hell up...yeah right, like that ever had a chance of working :)

There is no balance. It's very forward heavy just like you can imagine from looking pictures.

These were the prices in '03, I'm sure they have went up since then...

$1600.00 - Any Coated Finish
$1800.00 - Double Cut Finish
$2000.00 - Satin Finish

LMAO!! dude, that's a CRAZY picture!

dark nemesis:

thank you very much for the informative post. That's really interesting it started out as a joke, because I quite like the MOAB. One big heavy piece of sharpened indestructible steel, I like that. :)
 
Here's the original finish-

And here's what it looked like last time I saw it-

Don't kick yourself....enjoy that freaking gorgeous DOA.

Did you even look at the links I put on your MOAB thread?

Sheesh, you said you were brain dead this weekend, but I thought it was jsut figuratively..LOL :cool:
 
just realised that this isn't my thread either, sorry guys. Just use the damn MOAB on me and put me out of your misseries .... LOL !!

:D
 
i know that this is pulling up an old thread, and generally i dont like doing it, but...

there is the comment made that thatmguy knows of only one person who can get the inside scoop, and i know of only 1 person who owns one of these as well.


anyone know if theres been more then one made?
 
I thought it was "Mother of all Busses". :confused:
 
seems like 1whobuys and darknemesis are two likely other canidates to have purchased them...
