I need an excuse to get an NMSFNO

[dduangrat]

It's an SFNO variant.
It's 8" long.
It comes in cool colors.
Everyone has one.
It's an INFI.
It's a Busse.

Thanks for the pics. Any comments on the diff between Micarta and G10 on these?

Well, the only blade I own with micarta slabs is the FFBM with standard scales.

Micarta feels 'softer' and more forgiving on the hands than the G-10 does (this could be due to the standard scales on my FFBM with less intense grooves than the magnum scales on the NMSFNO).

The G-10 is a little more slick; whereas the Micarta has a slightly tacky or sticky feel to it. G-10 has a very hard, plastic-y feel to it. I absolutely love the color of the G-10 Black/Tan, and I am a fan of both materials.

You can't go wrong either way.

Dood...if you need an EXCUSE, you ain't been around here nearly long enough.

Oh I'm not arguing with that. I'm a newb when it comes to fixed blades and want some confirmation that I'm not the only dork around buying it for the coolness factor.

Of course now that I've decided to get one comes the harder choices, which color combo, which sheath, etc...

Kind of leaning towards the simple black/black with a cool D Guard like P-Easy has, maybe in international orange.. Or maybe a subdued Tan/Sage combo, so many choices (and no please don't tell me to get more then one).
