FSH help...

I'mGatMan! · Jun 4, 2008

Okay, so I know about the MOASH, HOGFSH, etc... What i want to know is if Jerry ever released an FSH with a satin blade and tigerhide mags.

Anyone know if any iterations of the FSH were released in that config? If so, I'd appreciate if you could tell me thickness as well as date of release and price. Thanks, people.

That's the one I've been chasing for a while... wouldn't that be the HOG FSH LE ??

Yes, the LE.

The FSH is too small and too big at the same time.:foot:

But it IS a pretty knife.

It might not be the perfect user... but it's a great looking blade..

I think it was just the LE model that was satin with tigerhide mags (although I think there are a few sterile ones out there as well):

Here are the stats from BusseCollector.com:

HOG F SH LE
INFI
Blade Length 8.00
Overall Length 14.00
Width 0.312
Original price $597

eek

2004

It is a beautiful knife and highly sought. The last couple of ones I saw for sale went for over $1200.

Interesting.....I'm not sure that I've ever seen a Std FSH (0.25") with a satin finish. The tigers only came on the LEs and they were HO (Heavy Ordinance), 5/16".

This is a strange question that I don't believe has ever come up...I've seen the HOFSH in double cut, satin and with various handle configuations but now that you've got me thinking about it....I have never seen double cut or satin on the Std FSH.

Almost everything was offered as a option back then....could almost build your own knife...but again never seen one. Think I'll check the archives....

brb.

Well if one exists I don't have a picture of it.

Hmmm...for me, an HOFSH will be WAYYYYYYYY too thick with mags. I can't even get comfy with my FBMLE. Oh well...

You might be surprised. I have small hands and find the FSHLE much more comfortable than the FBMLE. I think the scales on the FSHLE are more contoured with less of a hump in the middle. The FSHLE fits me fine whereas the FBMLE feels a bit thick for me.

If you can do without the Tigerhide Mags... you can always go custom

For the handle, here is a quick comparison to a FBMLE

They would technically be the same thickness though 0.312" (+/- a few thou) so at very least, it wouldn't be any worse!

Do you have a new FSH comming your way?

I'mGatMan! · Jun 5, 2008

That custom is beautiful, but I've trying to stick with a theme, here. Now I see that if I want to use my FBMLE I'm gonna hafta thin the handles, or else trade for something else. I'm thinking the same goes for a chunky FSH.

Grim...nothing coming, but I do have a trade knife on the exchange and might like to get an FSH for it.
