Feeding the Fever

[Sithus1966]

So to cure the affliction and to temper my anger when I found out one of the few knife shops in Michigan had moved, I went hunting on ebay. First thing I picked off was this 181(2000)

Then a 450 (1998)

Then a short tipped 2 Dot 110

And along came another 450 with a sheath.(1997)

Found a seller with Selector handles to go with my spare 110 and skinner blades.

This 521 said it needed to move to Michigan(1990)

Last but not least I was given this 471 by a coworker(2001)

I'm just waiting on a 301 that is in the mail somewhere to complete the feverish pace I got on.

Thats a lot of medication sith, I am impressed and proud. Keep treatin those symptoms:thumbup: That 110 looks real nice aside from the tip-you could send it in for a re-blade and have a basically new knife for 10 bucks(oops did I say 10 Bucks...that'll be your next shipment)

 

[Sithus1966]

I would rather keep the short bladed 110, since it's a 2 Dot. Until now I didn't have one, now I do.

I agree ! I'd keep that one even if I had half a dozen others . DM

I really like that 110 with the selector handles.

Sithus, The Protege came out in 1994 . They have a good feeling handle and decent cutting blade . There were two models offered . Your 181 is the first year they were offered as it has the ATS-34 blade steel . Those also were offered in two models . The other I think is larger than yours . DM

Well I wanted one for the lot, and at $20 it was a good deal.

I wanted one of the ATS-34 blades after I got a 186. What is the model number of the larger version?

So to cure the affliction and to temper my anger

You may be able to temper the anger, but you'll never cure the affliction. I'm living proof of that.

Sithus, I wish I hadn't said that as I thought 'you know he may ask about that' . Those are not models I collect so I don't know them as thoroughly as others . However, the 181 and 186 were the two models offered . Both of the same size except one had serrations and high end steel and the other a plain blade with 420 steel similiar to the 450 . DM
