DocAndry · Jul 18, 2006

Just bought this from a very nice gentleman in Italy.

Thought I'd share a couple pics.

Never held a HO before. I fell in LOVE!!! Was gonna trade it. Changed my mind.

posted with some other trustworthy buddies of mine:

My favorite "3-piece suit":

Very cool, and good job posting the pics to go along with it!

Is this going to be a user? If so beat the snot out of it

Sweet Blade!

It's pics like this that made me get a Game Warden over the weekend to go with my LE... oh, the peer pressure... I'm so weak!

I think it's tigerstripe. I'll be honest, sometimes I can't tell what the difference is. I thought I had heard that the LEs were tigerstripe. At the risk of hanging a "please hijack me" sign on this thread, anyone explain the difference?

I do like the HH real well, but holding this thing reminds me of the first time I held a model 29 Smith & Wesson, or a .454 Cassull, or a M1A, or driving a dually diesel. All things wild and wonderful!!!

That is one AWESOME piece of INFI:thumbup: That three piece set looks great

Yes Indeedy! Silly, but that number pushed me over the edge on the purchase. That was the number that all kids, where I grew up, wanted to wear [about 10 miles from French Lick, IN, home of Larry Bird! And Tony Dorsett! (just kidding.)] "Go --pre-Jerry Jones-- Cowboys!!!

It's reeeeeal tempting to use. For the moment it's just being petted and fondled and oggled at. Quite the handful, but great balance. Feels lighter in the hand though than my FSH with mag handles, though of course, it's heavier (1.6 vs. 1.4 lbs on my scales.)

NuclearBossHog · Jul 18, 2006

that thing is just to thick. I would prefer the heavy heart as it has better weight IMO. But a beut of a collector for sure. Congrats.

Cutshaw · Jul 18, 2006

Nice score! The HOGSHLE is beginning to become one of my favorite subjects for blade envy!

Webscrounger · Jul 18, 2006

Congrats! I love the HOGFSH in any configuration but the LE is a about as pretty as it gets.

westllen · Jul 18, 2006

Super Nice !:thumbup: congrats

JurT · Jul 18, 2006

Awesome INFI you scored!! Congrats.

Cobalt · Jul 18, 2006
