Only took 10 Years

[Don't drop it.]

Finally!!! I want to thank my new friend Mr Osos (aka Spurst) His Help in procuring this blade that eluded me for 10 years.
Wow !! What a Hunt this one took…

And a Great sheath also! Not sure the maker but very good quality. Says USA

I believe this is old Busse powder coat ?
Let me know if I’m mistaken?

The ones that take the longest to get feel the best when they’re in hand. Good feeling, innit? Congrats on the long-time-coming score.

ETA - This sparked a cool idea for a thread…… Off to post it. You should add this there fo sho.

Great score. Love the color combo.

I’m fairly certain that is not the older power coat / “sandpaper finish”. That was disconnected at least 5-7 years before the Gladius was released. That seems like v2 of the jungle camo finish, and still pretty rare.
