I'm curious to see how I did
 
I bet this is a tan one! pics from lunde (SD and GW). Ash variant pic from co-store webpage. The sarsquatch I figure you'll want to get in Tan/Tan as well. I am not sure if that one SJT is an "embrace the suck" and since its a variant I am not sure that would count.

Okay...just as a disclaimer...LadyThud says I am not colorblind...just color ignorant. I separate the world into about 5 colors. All of the submissions so far hit my colordar as "brown" so here's some brown knives for you. I understand if they're not tan....I don't want to wait until my Lady gets home to verify what exactly "tan" is.

Now your post doesn't really SAY that the poster needs to own the knives....leastwise, not that I noticed...so here's a couple of other brown Busses I have saved in my knife folder:

Brown Megaladon: (The handle is tan right?)

Brown Skele Warden:

At any rate...I understand if none of these submissions count....I have a lot of trouble with Brown vs Muddy vs Tan and all that rot....I'll pull my stuff down if it's confusing or whatever. :)

point tallying to come
 
TanBussecollection001copy.jpg


so this is a pretty poor attempt at this... theres some stuff on here that I feel in the back of my brain are mil. over runs, like the noe variants, but I can't remember when they were offered as overruns, or as variants. and the serrated sjtac, I just... feeeeel like its an overrun... I'm assuming that those items that I can figure out as military over runs were offered during the dates that I place next to the names. that tanker a/combat 4 :mad: - I remember it, but not clearly enough to find it.

to me, the real challenge of naming these blades isn't just naming what models, but when they were offered and under what context (mil overrun, variant, special run, standard model). The coolest and most time consuming approach would be to site every reference to mil over runs and variant offers. :thumbup:
