"Park Ranger". . . Pics, Specs, and Pricing!. . . Coming Sept. 20, 2017

Here are my three PR.

Satin w/Black G10

BG Black w/Bruiser

BG Desert Bronze with Maroon Micarta88AC8D77-0628-4B75-AC34-43EEE3879A59.jpeg8F005615-EFCF-45BA-9AB4-9DD5EB24DCE4.jpegB9420392-EF4B-42D9-80CA-D944FE6D9563.jpeg68AC64DC-B460-4A9E-8AC1-A29B85A0014E.jpeg

Although I am extremely happy about the Maroon micarta, the logo looks sketchy on the Desert Bronze possibly due to how much more crinkly it is compared to the black. I tried to capture this in the pics.
 
Hrm, that is a little disheartening... I was hoping that this would be a good resist for an etch...

It looks as if the laser has burned the coating. Is this possible?

The bright side is that the coating looks to be more of a FDE than a gold/bronze.

That’s what it looks like to me as well. Lots of darkening around the logo.

Yeah, it’s hard to reconcile this coating with the desert Bronze pics I have seen, such as on the recently released TGA2. I was hoping for the gold look.
 
Dang !
Hoping my bronze and maroon is actually bronze and not so close to the sage coating. I'm not too worried about the logo but I really like the bronze and maroon combo on my other blade and was wanting it to match will be very bummed if it shows up sage colored like that.

My other maroon and bronze blade has that gold look like the Busse page shows.
You think it's possible they sent you a sage coated blade instead ?
 
I was on the fence about the goldish hue, and as time passed, I sort of leaned away more so than towards the gold/bronze color...

We will see what the dice and the shop have in store.

99.99% sure that’s Desert Sage. Bronze looks gold.

The darkening around the logo is the burned off coating that stuck back onto the lighter colored coating. A good scrub with soap and hot water usually gets it off. Will work fine as an etchant resist. ;)

Mine arrived today, but I barely had time to unwrap them before I had to run out the door to get to work. Pictures to come... :thumbsup:
 
Mine should be here Friday! All yawls pictures are really getting me excited for these big time guys!
 
I' almost positive that BG PR is Sage, I had Sage ASH-2 That sage the coating was wavy/crinckled like that
 
Yeah that is not bronze- But I think it's the first sage posted? I don't remember any, almost looks off white....but my glasses are kind of scratched up and my breath is most certainly 1800 silver in aroma :D :D

Forgot to add- is that maroon kickin ass maroon or what? Looks awesome.

Agreed. Here is a pic of my desert bronze TGA2 (now sold) which was much more gold.
