...every time I look at those tasty Knoboganzaaaa pics my insides hurt just a little more! I thought I was going to get to play, but some financial stuff I was counting on fell through for me earlier today and I had to abstain.

I actually HAD to make sure I was nowhere near a computer or cell phone tower just in case temptation got the better of me (I did have an email all written up...purely for fantasy purposes I told myself as I saved it to my drafts). Luckily a properly windy road leading to a place where I could enjoy my SHBM made it easier to get lost in the moon light for an hour.

Knowing that I have a B10LE (and payment) coming soon, as well as some other sweet blades hopefully coming my way within the next few days does make it hurt a little less, but not that much less!

On a more positive note, I think I'm going to keep the SHBM and have her modded to fit me perfectly. We'll see what Garth has to say after I email him tomorrow, but yeah, she's too great of a blade to let go over such a fixable issue :)


And to all you lucky Ganzaaa-ers... good luck! I hope you all get your first choices!

I couldn't play myself!!! Not for the lack of money but focus. I went to work Thursday the 10th, worked 6 days and put in 84 hours, flew home Tuesday night. Got 4.5 hours sleep and was at the hospital Wednesday morning at 0600 for yet another hernia surgery. Drugs Brother/pain:yawn::confused:. I'm sitting here at 0111hrs cause I can't sleep, so I'm here trying to keep my mind busy a little. I did have a Brother Hog try to score some, but we will see.

Ouch Russ! Sounds like a rough week! Just out of curiosity, can I ask what you do for work? I'm thinking you deserve a break dude...

Goodluck with recovery from your hernia surgery and I hope your fellow Hog ends up scoring some new knives for you :)
 
I didn't play because of ther new Kimber Solo I bought Tuesday. Also, I am about out of places to store knives.

Yo Bro, I work at the largest Power Plant up here, natural gas fired turbines and a combine cycle steam turbine. We work 7 on and 7 off with a 12 hour on and 12 hour off day. Just had to put in some overtime this week. Wednesday is my normal last day at work but because of surgery I flew out a day early. Next 3-weeks off for recovery. So what I have now is time to sit and fondle INFI:D, yes Sir that is a great thing. Some of my new toys, and Bro I like this SOS!!!

Sounds like some serious stuff! I imagine the state of Alaska is grateful for the work you do ;)

Looks like you are well prepared for your 3-week healing break too...That's a great SOS collection you got going so far! Are you planning to use them or will they be mostly for fondling and air-mudering? Either way you can't go wrong with those beauties. If I wasn't so obsessed with my recent grail hunts, I would have have jumped on a couple SOS's for myself :)

Happy Healing Russ! If you can find yourself a good acupuncturist or doctor of Chinese medicine, there's a lot you can do to help accelerate your healing and recovery process. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's pretty effective once you find a good doctor. I'm studying this stuff, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email or PM me. Either way, good luck with your recovery!

I'm wanting to use these blades. The SOS is a perfect grip color for eye recognition around the camp site. I've had some knives that I use and I would have to make a conscious effort to keep my knife in a certian area so as not to be asking that old question,"now where did I put that knife". Satin finish/Orange grips:thumbup::D, frankly I'm liking this SOS. One of the other things I like is Jerry pretty much stayed using .270" between the NMFBM, FFBM and the FSH plus they are convexed edged. Mine came in RAZOR sharp to include the MNR and AD. I think these were some of the sharpest I have received from BC!!!
 
would have liked to got into the Ganzaa, but my wife and I are going to try really hard to pay off credit cards and live within our means. I would have loved to have had the SOS NMFBM and NMSFNO, but it's not in the cards. actually trying to sell some blades. get paid off, sell some stuff I don't need, then save up for some future infi.. no more charging.. a hard lesson learned about telling myself NO
