October BOTM bets and guesses

Yep..was checking my emails and JUST seen it lol! Sure enough sold out..I'm just grateful it was NOT a 112 in that configuration. Because right now even at 10:57 pm I would be calling someone to get one for the rare,odd collection lol!
 
I was going to try for another this morning but they were gone. Glad I at least got one. The clip looks way more proportioned than the drop point. I really hope that's true cause that was a big reason I never liked the 500. That and I think there is a loooot of metal on the original...the bolsters are way too big. So, this could be a home run for me. Fingers crossed boys....

Agreed. Prefer the blade shape on the BOTM to the drop point on the standard 500. Also, the lack of a rear bolster really improves the look in my view, as I’ve always thought that the bolsters on the standard 500 take up too much real estate relative to the handle as a whole.
 
I had to pause when I saw the pictures, but I just can't rationalize another knife purchase right now. I made my own bare head with a damaged 500 and boy, was that a job. I wasn't thinking of stainless steel when I started grinding away the bolster. I would like to see more options like this in production models...pretty please.
