Nice Score - I've been staring at that one all afternoon.
Welcome the world of FF....

I sure wish you made your mind up sooner! I've spent more on knife stuff this week than ever before...but hey. I reckon I need to upgrade my priority rankings.

I didn't plan on purchasing another knife for at least a couple months. Normally I either just put my phone down or walk away from the computer and the sharks help keep me honest. It's just a knife. I wasn't so lucky this time. Needless to say I can't wait to get this knife in my hands.

It fell under my if I have enough money in hand (not extra, just enough), the sharks fail me, and I take as much time as humanly possible to post "I'll take it" it was meant to be... I waited till almost 2.30 before even opening the thread. I then took ten painfully slow minutes typing my reply on my phone. I even turned WiFi off at the last second. I tried.

If that's not enough it even fulfilled my very specific profile and configuration requirements that had kept me from purchasing more than one knife a month for over a year and a half. Well, until last Friday, hah. A rustic wrap 3FJ. Yes please!

If you made it this far in my reply you understand. It happens.

I fell for the black version last week. I definitely went into the day not planning on buying anything, but it just so happened that I had $215 sitting in my "knife fund" and my initial response was, "I need that Warthog". Looks like it'll be a great EDC, nice and thin with the commando scales.

I'll take it.

Heck of a first! That green on green on black is one of my favorites. Welcome!

 

[Odaon]

Thanks. I've got a few that match, well actually, my wife does...

Hey Phillip, I'm curious - jade over white use to be "double mint" and jade over lime was "margarita". Is there something I'm missing or has the terminology just changed? See: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...hristmas!!-12-20-13?highlight=margarita+arete

Funny how that happens... I occasionally browse the forum while sitting next to my GF and I hear lots of, "oh I like that one!", "the green one is my favorite". I'll have to get her one eventually.

my wife has only claimed one of mine fortunately

make sure you show your GF that gorgeous Esquire

 

[FrostyPA]

Hey Frosty, just to clarify, it is a Huntsman. Let me know you still want it please.

I'll be honest, I saw W.A Surls, Starry Night, 3/32" and A2 and couldn't get that post out fast enough. I'll take the Huntsman! It can keep my two Inlanders company when it gets here and we can all be confused together!

Haha! I'm surprised that one is still here actually. She seems to prefer blues and greens but I'll show it to her tomorrow if it's still available. It is her birthday next week...

 

[Fiddleback]

Margarita is better IMO.

Seriously. One of my abandon all "fiscal responsibility" configurations is or was:

Thin.
Stainless.
Natural Canvas with natural pins.
Sandblasted.
Commando.
~3 1/2" or less blade.

Add to that waiting till after the frenzy to see if it's left... I obviously had no choice.

Awesome! Thanks

I used to have a picture of me holding a permit I caught as an avatar but a while back, someone on the forum told me every time I posted he thought of a volleyball. I really liked that movie so I changed it.

Totally agree about the Pocket Kephart Phillip. Don't let the secret out or there won't be any left for the 2 of us [emoji3]
