Hiya HOGS!!

I got home from the gym to find that there was a long, rectangular package waiting for me...

I cleaned the grease off and just had to take a grainy pic with my cell, more flattering pics are sure to follow :)

Thanks to Peter for making this possible! :D

Suffice to say I am happy as can be... :D

In the words of Jim Carrey - "Like a glooove!"

The handle is even nicer than I thought and I love the balance. I can feel I'm holding a thick slab of steel, but despite it being 10oz heavier than my HI khukuri it's not really noticeable.
 
okay, i have to say this before anyone else does... That's a heck of a blade to start with!


That one right there is on my grail list. Now go find a car door and talk some smack!
 
A Test Team Killa Zilla with coyote G-10 :eek:

That's one hell of a knife :thumbup:

The TTs are just plain awesome, great score :cool:
 
Nah, 4" is too small, go for an FBM!! Also, check out the Rodent 9 over at Swamp Rat as well, it's a fine knife for the price. It's also a current production model.

The BM calls to me in the same sort of strange way that the KZ does... this is a dangerous calling :D The Rodent 9 looks like a nice knife, but I prefer either huge or petite knives. I'm looking for something in the 3.5-4.2" range, anything larger than that that isn't 15-18" is just some weird middle-ground ;)

I made a half-assed effort at getting some pics in different lighting, but I don't really have any interesting environments to photograph in around the house. Gotta get 'er out in the forest with the sun shining! Almost forgot... Missy Zilla got to do some cake slicing this evening, what a let down to find that it wasn't a car door, eh? :cool:

You hogs don't seem to mind being showered in pictures, so...

Congrats! Great lookin' knife you got there! Welcome to the madness :thumbup:
 
Great score, I also started strong, my first Busse was a NMFBM satin/coyote and I just picked up a SAR 4 to go with it. I really love it, I was unsure at first cause of the small choil and tallon hole getting in the way of choking up real close but its really not a problem. Before I grabbed a Sar 4 I was also thinking about a satin boss street, they are a little tough to find but I have seen a few sos/satn Boss Streets floating around lately, and you can always get the scales changed to coyote.

The Sar 4 is interesting, and matching coyote scales even more so :D It looks pretty beefy, how does it handle whittling and smaller tasks like that?
