Long Butaniku hybrid taco By azwelke

[azwelke]

I made a full hybrid taco for my Long Butaniku. Thought you hogs might enjoy a 33 1/2” taco bravo .
These take 3 people to make and a few days worth of work. Not full time days but alot of work.

I left it natural with hopes it will tan in time. But keeping it clean is a chore in itself. Every other eyelet split at least once and had to be drilled out and replaced. I almost forgot the drain hole too...
I will add a Maxpedition strap and pad for my carry option.

Man, the sheath is incredible.
But......I think that's the 1st Long Butaniku that I've seen up close. That's wicked.
Were the Long Butaniku ever a regular offering or just a Ganza type thing?

Thank You
I call them Long but it’s the 1st or regular Butaniku that was offered. I think they appeared first at Blade in 2012. Someone correct me if Im wrong.
I ordered one but couldn’t come up with the cash, so I had to back out. Then I re ordered one in 2013 or 2014. I believe I received mine in 2014. They were offered in a ganzaa or 2 as well.
