Here is the current Street family....

First, the MS Protos that were never released when the Ergo line came out.:eek:

Next, Lean Means, the top one is the last one to leave the factory, and is still unsharpened...;)

The Desert Warfares. The bottom one is a fatty, 0.275 IIRC...

And finally, the rest of the kids. Recurve custom from Blade 2006, Early A2 blued tang, slotted INFI fatty, and the bottom one is my first Busse purchase, a cord wrapped INFI pup. Best $100 I ever spent...:thumbup:

And no, nothing is for sale, trade, or barter....:cool:
 
What is the difference between the Lean Means and Desert Warfares? Is it just thickness. It looks like there may also be a difference in that one has polished spines and the other does not, but I can't tell from your pics for sure.
 
All of the LMSs I've seen are coated spine/tang.

The DWMS's are a mixed bag. The fatty is black smooth coated spine/tang. The middle one is satined spine/tang. The top one we (previous owner and I) figure was a factory recoat, since it is DWMS thickness, but crinkle coated.

I've seen three thickness DWMSs ( or at least that is what they were termed), just under 1/4 (I think 0.230), 1/4, and then some fatties (0.270).
 
Awesome blades! It's cool that you're showing some proto's:thumbup:
 
Hammy,

Could you post the specs on these protos. They look like my dream backpack/camp knife:o Also do you have any idea when they were made.

Thanks,
Tony G
