Where do you see a sun burst pattern? Their website just shows all the new grinds with the stars and stripes pattern still.
When I get the cash I'm going to pick up the High Hollow or Dagger Grind in Blue G-10 in the Sunburst Pattern.
what do you guys think of the original bodegas grinds (the flute with the holes) compared to these new grinds? I was pretty sad when I heard that they were gonna stop the original blade design for the field grades but when I saw these new grinds (especially the saber grind) I was pretty stoked!!!
I think that the new grinds are still cool, but there is still a noticeable difference between the Field Grade Bodega and the full on midtech Bodega or the custom Bodega. You can still get the old grinds for the full midtech Bodega, Todd is just not working on those right now, because so many people are ordering the FG Bodega for its price. I agree with you that the new ones on the FG Bodega are fairly sweet. I am not much of a tanto guy, but it has grown on me in the last month as I have seen so many different styles of tanto blades with multi grinds.
what tantos??
Sorry my bad, I was thinking of another midtech. I meant the compound grind, which is obviously not a tanto. My bad.
This thread is horrible....
Without picturesI am too lazy to google, you guys should post some pics!
What is the lead time on these?
Also, where do you get to see the colors?
I can see the textures except for Stars & Stripes.
