Nuclear Comp shipping ding.........
Ooooo!!!! That's the same thing I ordered! Maybe I'll get shipping notice soon, too!![]()
dogboye I was invoiced the same day so you should be seeing something soon, I would think.
They're not the best pictures but I got a few of the knife, grind marks, and hand shots. I think I'm going to get a side by side with my ratweiler as well. I think the size is closer than I would've expected. Handle will be interesting to use, not sure yet. It will be great for slicing, not sure on chopping where I like bigger handles I have large glove sized hands. Balance is right in front of the handle.
And I guess a baby's sock for size comparison.

Same as mine. Be here MondayMine is shipped. Non nuke comp black G10.
If you are comfortable with a ratweiler or think the handle is just a touch big, this knife will be great for you. This is my thin cut RW.
Top Jerry's photo is Nuked Version Comp Finish =$150.00 more finish work would be a good guess.View attachment 1069061 View attachment 1069062
I wonder why this one has such a rougher finish than the one Jerry posted.

It would seem ridiculous to charge an extra $150 for just fullers and some handle tang lightning so a couple extra passes on the belt grinder to polish up the blade flats seems reasonable.Thanks for the info. For some reason I thought the only difference between his and the nuke version was the large fuller in the blade.
