Ever got the last of something at the Company Store?

[Simon520]

or had it go "low inventory" when you ordered it?

Seems I just got the last sage/tan Skinny ASH-1.



It's too good of an all-rounder not to have a second. Or a third, in this case.
:thumbup:

I'm shocked they are finally out of Scotch Dispensers. Wish I could have held one, but dang, I can't spend $150 to feel the thing.

I have ordered the last of something - but it was probably a GW or AD that was low-inv already. I high-tailed it to checkout right quick.

I did'nt know about Busse when I would have liked to be the beneficiary of that phenomenon.....getting the last SHBM 1/300 from the store would have been cool!

Just because it is out now does not mean that the Skunk is out.
Things have been known to pop back up!

I have wanted to hold one first as well, especially since they are not real easy to get rid of if it turns out it just doesnt fit me well.

I have gotten the last of a green line/ BAD and a Skunk Warden and a few other wardens. There's some other ones too but I dont remember.

I played hide and seek with a black/tan G10 batac for about 1/2 hour before I finally snagged it. I believe it was the last one, but I am not sure. This was before then new inventory software, when the company store was really the wild west.

I was lucky enough to get one of the last FFBM's from the company store. Sheer luck that when I just dropped in for a look there was a few there never to return. Green on OD green.

Nice score! The "tan" micarta mags on that model are unlike any other micarta I've ever seen from Busse--almost blaze orange. That was a very special run. Pair that up with the right color kydex, and you'll have something uniquely handsome I'm thinking. :thumbup:

Doubt we'll see that color micarta again.

What do you think of gun metal grey against that set of scales. It is a beautiful knife btw.

RR-

You know, that "sage" blade coating Busse is using is almost like a gunmetal with just a hint of color. The color cast turns to the brown side or the green side depending on what handle color you put with it. Almost looks like a pale champagne pewter with the black G10 offered on the NMFBM but it goes to a beautiful sea green with the black canvas micarta--wish I'd ordered one in that G10/sage combination, but I didn't notice how good that looked until I saw a pic later on in another thread here.

With that very smooth looking bright orange micarta on the Skinny from BCS, the sage goes almost bronze--it's just damn gorgeous IMO. I'm thinking a forest green or OD kydex sheath, or maybe even blaze orange for a Search & Rescue package look, would make that orange/sage combo really pop.

So much for my advice on "What Not To Wear". Maybe I'll start a blade and sheath color coordination column...yeah, a "blade beautification blog"...that's it. Blades as Beltwear...
