Great show. Met GK4ever and saw mschwoeb, danbo, bigwavedave and a few others.

GK scored (stole) a SWEET Mean Street that from what Eric, Flatlander, and I could tell strongly looks like a Desert Warfare WITH BLACK SCALES!! The tubes are matte finished like the DWMS, and it is thicker than a standard MS (maybe 9/32 or 5/16).

There was a lot of traffic and interest (folder...) shown.

Sorry Chuck, you didn't show up for your AD variant so I sold it to a newbie. I'm sure she'll apreciate in the kitchen like she said.

We're set for March. Hope to see some of you hogs and piggies there.
 
The folder was there?:eek: :eek: Did anyone get any pics? Wish I could have been there but it's a pretty good drive from Central Arkansas. The is going to be a kniife show in Little Rock in early Feb. I don't guess that a Busse Rep is going to be there, though:(
 
Mike,

It was nice to meet you, Danbo, Eric and Flatlander. I decided to get there earlier than usual, so there was still some INFI left on the table!:D

Well, I measured the MS and it is 1/4" (maybe just a bit over, but definitely not even 9/32"). I looked at the tubes under magnification, and they do have a darker, frosty look compared to the usual brass tubes. But even at 1/4", I’m happy, especially for the price. It is the first MS I have ever held, and now I see why some of you like them so much!

You guys brought along some nice Busses, including a SH BA, SH SH and Eric’s SJ variant. I really like the finger grooves on the SJ variant – they make the handle feel great; it is definitely a cool knife!:cool:

Gene

p.s., I need to delay my next knife purchase and buy a digital camera so I can post some pics.:(

sounds like you found a very nice street! congrats, please post a pic soon:cool: :D
 
Sorry man, I meant that there were a lot of questions about the folder.

I wish I'da had one to show.

Gene, glad you like the MS. Need a Sttel Heart???
 
Had agreat time hanging out with Mike and seeing all the others. That was the SWEETEST variant that Eric had!! If only I could get it and the Internal Affair I could die a happy man. Sorry about the PD variant 1WB, she said something about opening cans of catfood with it :(

Mike, Bob, Gene, Danbo, Big Wave Dave and others

It was good to see/meet all of you guys. I really enjoyed having a chance to get together and talk INFI

Gene,
Great score on that MS, if you ever decide to sell it ;):D

Bob,
Thanks for letting me "fondle" your other toys. ;):D:D


I also had a chance to see the SH BA, that took a direct hit from a .40 Cal round with only slight scuffing to the coating :eek:
The person wearing it on his chest was happy it held up so well :D:D

Good to see everyone, I look forward to the next time we can all get together :D:D
 
Dang, I saw that Mean Street before anyone else, just didnt get around to asking the price! Congrats on a cool knife.
 
Sorry I missed you guys:(

Eric...."WHO" was that SJ Variant made for?:grumpy:

There's just no honor among INFI Hogs:grumpy: ;)

I wish I'd taken my DigiCam just for this. I can't believe how good the BA looked and after I heard the whole story, I've got to get a pic. Hopefully in March I'll remember the camera. :D:D
 
It was great seeing all of you guys at the show. I managed to pick up a Basic 9(old school,short choil) for a very reasonable price. Still trying to figure out how I can take home that Battle Mistress thatmguy had on the table. Looking forward to the next Indy show in March!
 
They will not let you in the door with a camera.

All camera's are prohibited items.....there are sings posted at all of the doors:grumpy:

It's to keep the anti-gunners out.
