Curious guys,but do the Buffalo soldiers and the JABA's have a symm or asymm grind? And also what are the thicknesses? Thanks!!
 
symmetrical - and 3/16

sine its fully flat ground, it seems thinner then it actually is. holding up to a pd, you'd swear that the pd was thicker.

but then again... my little rat shaker doesnt seem like it could be 1/4"....
 
Man, I wish I had the Buffalo Soldier option when I got my GM. The only differences between them, that I can see, is the edge grind and the forward thumb groove. I think the BS groove has slightly more utility and improves the look of the blade. It looks a little less Klingon. Nice and swoopy with amazing feel. Now if Jerry would an Anorexic BS...

Now THAT would be yum!!!

Cheers,
BJB :D
 
I used my Buffalo Soldier this weekend for a short one-night backpack trip. It surpassed expectations! I had a great time using the knife to cut wood in preperation for lighting a fire (not chopping, but more of ignition sticks) and the knife was fantastic at food prep as well. I had the combo of an SH-E and the BS and felt like I could take on the world, or at least the wilderness. Having the ability to choke up on the cutting edge of the BS made carving tasks easy and allowed me to feel like I had superior control over the cutting edge. I will try to get some pics going once I can get them off my camera tonight.
 
i was pretty googly eyed over all the busse's at the table, and learning that the ad wasnt what i thought it would be, and then finding something that was equally as good - but rare, i doubt that i would have been all to good for conversation, at least, not for the first 10 minutes of it :D takes a little time to loosen up when you look under the tree and see a stack of presents 10 box's high :)

hopefully next year :)

i was happy to meet a fair portion of the rest of the crew :) ed, les, shaggi, bladebabe, idaho and eric... it was a great time :D :D :D
