I'm trying John. Like a crack ho hanging with the dealers on San Pablo Ave in Oaktown!!!! The catalog is the devil.

I have justified the following:
124LE
Fixed Kalinga
Folding Kalinga
889
650

Justification: Those will be users as I am only going to collect 110!!! And, maybe, 112. :eek:

How was the cioppino?

118...hmmmmm.
It's so hard to resist.
But I must.
I am having major withdrawls!!!!!! Getting the shakes.
"110 or Die!" That is my mantra...

Goose, I don't think that it is necessary to resist. First try to find one woodden handdled 118. When you found one, then think about your resistance. May be, that you never have to make up your mind. And If yes, decide later.

Best regards,
Haebbie

Ok.....I see your logic now and it makes since to me :D . That's some list for your next BOTM :thumbup: . The cioppino was awesome.....the wife said I can't eat that I'm on a diet....one kid ate one bowl......the others don't like fish :D . I got three big bowls in the freezer.

Good to hear the fish was good John!
I love that when ya got some grub and others don't care for it so much...more for you ;)

As for logic...well, I'm not so sure about that. I justify by saying I'm gonna use them as opposed to them being closet queens.

And, that won't be a one month haul that's for certain! That will take several "BOTM" efforts I'm sure.

The four this month was a good "de-tox" after my DEC '06 (Christmas) haul. ;)

Do you have a close up of that 119 BP? Please ? :D
Do you like the rosewood better than the cocobola?
Click to expand...

Hmmm...tough call. I think I like the rosewood. BUT, the rosewood seems to have more imitatiors...meaning that I see more rosewood color in other manufacturer's knives than I do the cocobola.

I will post a pic when the big orange ball come over mountain (morning) for light.
 
I just checked,,, my rosies still here....lol....

But currently I have the rubber on er. Is an interesting tho that no one has shown any or many mods to scales on the alphas or dorados... seems it would be pretty easy to do.

The sheath is an awesome design. Packing it is a non-event. Here it is next to the 119BR in the sheath:

My BOTM: 110 Finger Groove Pro Line from the Big Evil E. My first finger groove Buck. I'm amazed at how much of a difference it makes in the grip compared to a standard 110. It's hard to say it is "better" but it sure feels different in the hand!
