Is this right?

I posted this on Walking Man's "What's left in the new line up?" post, but I know I don't go back and look at many threads after they've been posted for a while, so I thought I'd post it here to see if I guessed right at a couple of the knives.

I took the liberty of modifying some Bad MOJO and Busse Combat Store pics. The number of the knife corresponds to the number of the knife in the photos. I guessed at number 7 and 17 - Skunk/Mike/Jerry, am I right?

1- SF Natural Outlaw
2- Active Duty
3- Force One
4- Air Rescue TAC
5- Meaner Street
6- Leaner Meaner Street
7- SF Recurved Fighter (Not Yet Named)
8- Tank Buster
9- Fusion Steel Heart
10- Tanto TAC (Not Yet Named)
11- Satin Jack TAC
12- Paul's Hatchet TAC
13- Prototype Groved Fighter (Not Yet Named)
14- Badger Attack TAC
15- Fusion Battle Mistress
16- Public Defender TAC
17- Proto SF Recurve ( Not Yet Named)
18- Assault Shaker

Didn't find a pic for the Assault Shaker, but I think we all know what that looks like.

Looking forward to the Tanto TAC, Public Defender and Tank Buster myself:cool:
 
I'm not sure which is which. :confused: If anyone know the difference between the two, PLEASE post. Thanks.
 
The Force 1 was never shown at the shows AFAIK. THe Tanto Tac was.

#'s 7 & 17 look hauntingly familiar.....:cool: ;)
 
Question... what type of micarta is on the FBM (snakeskin?) and FSH (tiger stripe?) above.
 
I had forgotten how much I like the old handle shape on the Fusion SH and BM, it looks much beefier. Gives the knife a whole different look.

thats Tiger stripe on the FSH, but on the FBM it looks like black canvas to me. :confused: iirc that looks like the Tanto Tac as #3 its shorter and doesnt have the band cutter on the spine, but its got the SF handle! #7 looks longer than #17! It would be too cool to have two recurves! :D

That's the SH I fell for at the 03' Blade show. :eek: HOFSH is still a hell of a knife though. :D

The only difference I can see between the two, #7&17 is the tang length, but Jerry does list two separate recurves. I assumed the one with the longer tang was the "fighter". Mike, look again - there are no less than THREE tanto shaped knives and I'm certain the one I list as #3 is the Force One.

Tanto TAC, Public Defender and a larger SF handled one I'm sure is the Force One.:D

The smoother finish was reportedly dropped due to the test team's feedback (and I'm certain it would have been costly to produce in any quantity). I too fell in love with those handles. The black handle on the BM was polished where it looked reptilian and begged to be picked up. :cool:

Dwayne - don't give up on me about the SH sheath.......hoping I'll get a Leatherman Juice from Santa that I can send to you...;)
 
Just a reminder: The Number 4 knife was issued with a band breaker as the NARK.
