A BIG thanks to jimw451 who had an extra Damascus Skyline (1760DAM) and let it slide on over to me for cost!!!

My wife asked if I was watching Lord of the Rings in my office. No, was just flipping and talking to "my precious"

I've been looking for this knife for three years, since I lost my first one in 2008. It was my fault for over loosening the clip. I picked up a vanilla Skyline and figured I'd get another Damascus when I had a little more coin. I didn't realize it wasn't a regular production knife. What will be my grail now?

Thanks again jimw451! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
"my precious" now that's hilarious! :highly_amused:

Never a problem, glad I could help. Like I said before, I'm not going to let my dumb luck of tripping over one of these keep it away from someone that's been looking for it that long. I think the next Skyline grail should be the seldom seen and spoken of DigiCamo handled version.

Enjoy it and thanks for the thread! :D

That is the most lofty one of all for sure. This is what Thomas had to say on that one:

I sent that knife out to Jthomas. I owed him a Skyline, and this one was convenient and close so I sent it.(Hope he likes this camo over std. black :o) It incorporates a proto handle finish, think I had like 3 or 4 built up like this. It's never been produced to date.

We sent out 3 skylines to a potential vendor to do up some Camo varieties. They looked really nice, but we were unable to get any dealers to order the minimum requirements. I gave one away here on the forums, the other 2 are laying around here somewhere. Haven't seen them in a while.

They exist! That's your in! You may have to wait until Thomas returns to the forums before schmoozing/begging/selling blood to get it, but you know it's out there! I'm rooting for ya!
 
Yeah! I'm afraid to want the 1760ACU. There is ONE in circulation. But maybe that's why they call it a grail. I'd travel to visit my mother-in-law in Oregon to get my hands on the DigiCam Skyline.

What I'd really like is a premium steel and/or composite blade. I guess that would fall under "I wish they would make" category. I keep wondering what the Leek community has that we in Skyline land don't. I mean, they have a plethora of models.

Oh well, I have enough on my hands making sure my Damascus Skyline is still in my back pocket. I think I'll have to put a lanyard on it and attach it to a belt loop so to avoid being driven to distraction. I was going to keep it safe at home, but I can't bear the thought of never carrying my precious.

Thomas, I would definately buy a digi camo skyline.....and a OD green w/ black blade, and anything else you want to throw into the mix......do you have any more of those digi's laying around??? I'll take one!!!!!
 
If I recall correctly, the owner of the ACU Skyline is none other than.... Nutnfancy -__- At least he had it at some point because it's in his review of the Skyline.

I asked in another thread, but was wondering. When did the Skyline come out?

Early 2009 2008 I believe.

EDIT: Ouch....typo. I fat fingered the 9.

Did some digging in my email. I first bid on a Skyline on 10/02/2008. I won an auction for a Damascus Skyline on 10/27/2008. If I remember correctly, one vanilla Skyline that I owned had a date on the blade of Sep 08, but that may have more to do with manufacturing than release. I wasn't really following knives before I pick up my first Skyline, so I can't say exactly when they came out, but it was on or before Oct 2008.

I think the last new knife I picked up (other than a Leatherman) before my Skyline was a Bucklite. I still have that too, but I carry my Skyline. :)
