Knob Creek Spring 2009

MOAB.

The first time a Busse knife ever intimidated me.

Seriously, that thing needs a two-handed grip ... for a little guy like me.

I would need machine-assist to reliably lift that devil, let alone do some chopping.

Remember that picture with Guyon and the sequoia? He might actually be able to bring the sequoia down with one of those MOABs.

Just curious, did all the MOABs sell out at the show ?
Anyone know ?

YEP!!!!

I think there was like 30 or 35 and they are all gone with the wind.

Surprised but not too surprised.

I almost went to see one but thought better of it since I'm too weak to resist.
Plus, I knew I wouldn't be able to get that H&K Mark 23 I want really bad if I got a MOAB.

Damn shame, not being rich!

Sag, I am just kidding about what I said. I dont know how many they had there and if they all sold out or not.

I wouldnt be suprised if they did but I would not be suprised if they didnt.
I guess it really depends on how many were there.

That's ok, dobywon; kidding doesn't bother me.

When I left the Creek, there were plenty of MOABs left.

You've still got a chance.

Did you score one, OP?

I handled one. Actually, I tried to handle one.

The price didn't get me ... the heft did. Apparently, I have become too geeky over the years to properly lift and use a MOAB.

If I can't see myself chopping with it, I won't buy it.

I'm just too attached to a) my shoulders, and b) any other limbs that might just get in the way of that enormous blade.

If I was just a few inches taller. Say ... 6 more inches (taller!!!).
