Just wondering if any of the UberHOGs had the cojones to use anything flying or quintriple ground recurve or Super Secret Arrgone Artic combat team things?
If so.... I wanna see them!
I'll be the first to admit, I DON'T have that much fortitude! :o
 
If I had one I'd use it, but I don't waste my time or money buying show pieces that I never intend to use o have no purpose.. Every knife I buy has the likelyhood of being used and used hard. That is why I always get duplicates. That way I can always have a prestine one on hand.
 
Well the Uncle Mofo I just sold left a hole in my user rotation. I've been thinking my Flying Mofo would enter the rotation... hard to use anything but the FBM right now...for what I normally do it's the perfect companion.

Your knife?

Hey,that's the one you promised me!! Remember we were goin to trade my Delica and $50.00. I just forgot to pick it up. Don't worry, I'll get it at the next 1500.:D
 
It's an active duty variant. There were three of them made, they had a recurved blade, a serrated top (wich wasnt really sharp), and a modified handle. The handle modificaiton was the best part, because it lowered the hump on the back of the handle, wich had always felt akward to me since it shifted your grip to far back when you gripped hard.

It was sharpened down to have a polished 21 degree edge, and a 24 degree secondary bevel.

Unfortunately I still found that the choil was a still a huge problem on a knife that was that short. I tried cutting a wadded up ball of plastic in half at work, and just couldnt do it quickly even though the knife sailed through the stuff. I just wanted to be able to let the stuff run along my fist and hit the blade so I didn't have to think about placing my cuts.

This was for someone else :) I wish they were mine... I felt bad about them though. The 4" PBF was the only one that I felt really good about how it turned out. they were all sharpened down to 24 degrees (21 would have made the bevel go almost to the top of the main grind) with a 27ish secondary bevel. the tips were around 35 degree's, and they still almost complely overtuke the main grind. These things are built like TANKS.

I felt bad because I couldnt quite get them to be totally mirror polished, wich really came down to me being so tired, and my hands so sore after 30 some od straight hours of working on them that I was making stupid mistakes and not being as careful as I should have been. The mirror polishing required a really light hand over multiple grinds, and i could have done it by just freehanding it, but I didn't take the time...

The handle wraps are what I really felt bad about. The 4" PBF's turks head knot came out perfect, it was tight, even and nice looking. I couldnt get the rest of them to even out correctly, there was always at least 3 places where the knot was too tight around one of the brites (sp?) to get it to go down into the weave and flatten out. But, to their credit - they are TIGHT. Tighter then any paracord weave you've probably ever handled. You could hammer fist slam the butt of those knives onto concrete all day and the weave wouldn't shift noticably. They are as tight as the 7 strand paracord could take without being cut by my pliars....

i thought they had gone to the people you'd expect them to go to, iether progunner, idahoskunk, or raden...

i remember seeing one in idohoskunks "serrated top edge" compilation pic.

waaaait a second.... there may be 4 of them... i dont remember any of the 3 having finger grooves with the standard rear handle hump, or tan scales.... i remember the only main differences being in the length and number of serrations... so skunk may have a custom made 4th recurved active duty variant.

Well said. :thumbup:

I agree. .

I used to collect with the intention of keeping some just to look at but not anymore. I don't want to die with a closet full of unused INFI.
 
Dang, we are supposed to be using this "INFI" stuff? I thought it was just to buy and sell to make money on like the Randall knives I had. I guess I had better start using some of them, now where did I put that Silent Knight? :confused:
 
I only have users as well. Usually just the CG versions. But I prefer the CG's thus far. However, I am curious on how many people put their teeth to use on Variants. Anyone? (I know I just opened this up for an array of disturbing pics...).

Pics please.
 
i'm still waiting to see pics of the flying silent knights or whatever they were called....


oooooooh to have them in 3/8" thickness....
 
Seth, it'd be cool to see a pic of that whole AD variant -- if you have one handy. I'm interested in that handle config...

Cool knife!

LOL.......................................Randucci................You always are one step ahead of everybody!!!!!:) :)
 
HOGSJTACLE doesn't qualify as "high end" for some -- but it's my highest end user for now. (When the FBMLE comes, that will change.) This is after a throwing session (inspired by Cobalt).

I actually missed the stump altogether and this pretty knife bounced off a large landscaping stone :grumpy: It was an ugly sound to say the least... but only minor hickies considering :thumbup:
