Tonight, Ol' Skunk Breath is releasing a very unique SAR 4 with Black Canvas handles and Double Cut finish! :thumbup:

Here's how these blades came to be . . . .

I had to have both of my knees worked on for a few weeks before BLADE. So, I put Garth and Amy in charge of the shop (not that I'm ever really in charge) and then proceeded to get drunk! :thumbup: . . . . So far, so good! :D

Then, like a tornado striking out of the blue, disaster struck!!!!. . . .Or should I say, "Skunk struck"!!!!. . . . . As it turns out, the mistake that I made was telling Skunk that I would be out of action for a while!!!. . . . So, while I was incapacitated by a number of Johnny Walker Blue bottles, SkunkHOG sprung into action with some of the finest HOG Hijinks that I have yet to witness!!!. . . . :eek:. . . :thumbup:

The long and short of it is that the final run of satin finished SAR 4s with G10 handles were completed and sitting in the laser room, waiting to be marked. Garth, who hadn't been drinking, received a call from Idaho. After hearing the story that he was told, he had his grinding team remove the G10 handles and fitted them with black canvas grips! . . . . As if that weren't enough, he then had his team apply a double cut finish over the highly hand polished and rounded melt down edges and satin finished blades!!!! . . . . He then promptly shipped them off to Skunk!!!. . .

Well, you can only imagine Garth's face when I told him that I hadn't authorized this and knew nothing about it!!! :eek:

Garth has been drinking ever since!!!. . . .

Now, you know the "Rest of the story". . . .

The lesson learned here? Well, I think that it's safe to say that Garth now more fully understands the importance of being drunk at all times!!!. . . . . Had he been drunk when the call came in from Idaho, he would've quickly known that Skunkjinks were at play and this model wouldn't exist!!!!

So, there will be NO more satin finished SAR 4s and this will be the ONLY Double Cut edition of the SAR 4 EVER!!!!!!! :eek:

That Skunker is a tricky ol' polecat!!!!

Now let's take what we have learned and . . .

Let's Drink!!!! :thumbup:

Jerry :D

Good gawd Jerry...that was almost worth reading!! :D
Take care of those knees.
Oh, great looking knife. :thumbup:
 
Only double cut ever???? Hmmm, now i need to reevaluate my plans! :)
 
Wait, no more satin either?! What color will the green linen be coated?

I take it that this means there won't be any more satin or double cut SAR4s, but there will be CGs! :D
 
The Boss said that there would never be a coated SAR4, so there will be NO Green Linen?
 
What about a Satin finish CG? I already got the SPCL but CG would be fantastic.

Well, Jerry just said in this thread that there will be no more satin SAR4s. Satin is satin, so apparently there won't be satin CGs any more than there will be further satin SPCL editions.

Coated combat grades for a lower price would be very nice, though! The CG HG55 is ~$260, so a CG SAR4 would likely be same or cheaper. I'd buy one. :D

My bad. I have missed that part. In any case, I would jump on the CG version.

That was my take. Interesting.

I'm still not sure I love this thing. I'd love to get my SHBA a bit sharper (Curse that hand-ground blade! LOL) and use that instead. But the SAR4 is a great design. I'd just hate to "use" mine before I know it's gonna be a permanant user.

This one has me jazzed just a bit. What a nice looking blade. I'm not a DC fan by nature, but something about this one. Maybe the black micarta is less "green" than previous knives that is drawing me to it. ???
 
Only double cut ever???? Hmmm, now i need to reevaluate my plans! :)

My thoughts exactly. But, another expense so soon after Blade? :(

OTOH, Jerry hasn't said that he won't make an CG Anorexic SAR4. :D

On the gripping hand, it IS my birthday.....
 
So what color were the G10 Handles that got pulled in lou of these?????
 
I knew Skunk was a good talker, but WOW:eek:

He had to be doing some slick talking to get Garth to put DC on an already hand polished blade! But to also talk him into removing the more expensive G-10 for the cheaper black canvas....damn Skunk your good!!!


BTW- since Jerry and Amy already asked for Skunk to Bring the Green Linen SAR4, it looks like it will be on a CG coated version....I'm hoping for OD/GL:thumbup:
