Introducing the SARGE Series. . . .
A while ago I took a SAR blank into the grinding room and threw it at Garth. . . hit him square in the back of the head. He screamed, "Son-Of A Badger!!!!! . . . man that thing is heavy!" "Don't complain to me, I said. . .. If you don't like it. . . lighten it up!!!!" He said he would. . .So, he immediately got drunk and started grinding, drilling, and milling. . . . 3 days later, after the smoke cleared, he brought this lightweight, seemingly helium filled blade into my office tethered to his wrist with a piece of para cord to keep it from floating away! He dumped the thumb notches, gave it a full-height flat grind and then blew out the center of the handle tangs for amazing balance. :thumbup:
We liked it so much we started calling it the Garth Edition. . . .So, combine the SAR with Garth's combo of special features and you end up with the SARGE. Search And Rescue Garth Edition
Skunk should have these rolling out pretty darned soon so stay tuned!!!!!!!
