Great offers!

Look at that length to weight ration on the Reti!

A Sher AK, with slight work on the handle! Super deal.
 
These Reti's are like razor blades with handles. Superlight:thumbup: Agreed cul those AKs are nice! Love the stubby fat handle on that Thamar!
 
hehe, nice "Refresh Sharking" Hanniman wish I didn't just do something that made me so toothless I would have to have babyfood pre-chewed, those are some pretty AKs. But I am holding out for that one perfect blade that says to me "Risk the wrath of hubby, Forget responsibility... I am worth it"
I know it is out there, and when it is time it will find me. Hopefully by then I will be able to afford it LOL
 
Would really love to see the Suga knife with a Farm knife style handle and butcap. Design has a lot of utility, but it looks a lot like a fighter.
 
(Been lurking for a while, never miss a dod - tons of really nice stuff floating through this hungry shark tank!)
 
mcatalfano,they did a large batch of Sugas similar to the farmknife handle but with the finger grooves a couple months back. Karda was coordinating the sale of them then. I don't know if Auntie or Karda might have any left if you email them.
this is a picture that shows what they looked like.

hmm, maybe. I emailed her a few days ago about a suga on last weeks dotd, but when i looked close it had a bunch of 'pox-marks' on the blade (not a fan), and i'm not sure which i'd get. Also the blade on that one is kinda "stubby", and i prefer a sleeker look. I know its nitt-picky.

Also, i kinda want to put the cash towards an m43 (i have a ton of questions on those things and will make a post about it when i get time). I'd never use a suga knife, though i want one. I'd actually use the m43 :)

Those aren't "pox-marks" on the blade. It is droplets of mineral oil that is on the blade to protect it during shipping.
The blade is actually nicely mirror polished. If it had a subpar finish, it would be noted in the description.

mmmmmm, thats pretty. Is that a 15 or 18 inch. was thinking about a 18-21 inch one ..which raises questions of customs orders. And since we're posting m43 pics now, here's my most favorite i've seen(yes, i have a folder of m43 pics). I'd like this thing ..but with a wood handle. I believe its 21". (i tried to post pics, but don't have an imgur acct, so here are the links)

...m43

i also like this one ..regular size ..rosewood handle

I choose these as examples because, as i said earlier, i like 'sleekness' so to speek. To me those m43s have that property. And i've noticed the longer ones seem to consistently have that quality.

- In contrast, this one is 'stubby'. Its 15 inches(so understandably stubby), but i've seen 18" ones that i would consider to have the same quality, and i'm too lazy to find the link ..or make an imgur accnt at this time.

-And i've also seen some with slight corners on the spine and some without. I've notice old wwII models on various websites were very much 'leaf' shaped and i find that appealing.


i know that aesthetic is nitt-picky, but i'm gonna definitely buy one and i want to know what i'm doing.

Also, i see 18" m43s with both 2 and 3 rivets in the handles. And from pics the handle lengths seem to vary. Which is why i need to make a photobucket or imgur accnt to toss up pics. As said .. i have questions, and i really want an m43.
