^ One of TWO? Already?!

“Ghost” scales? Look amazing. But what are they?

 

[betzner]

Yes, one of two, aren't I lucky!!?

Ghost refers to Ghost/Black G-10, available on the UFK now, but not on the FK2

Yes, you are! Dunno how you do it...

Edit: I see, you mean ghost over black liners... I think?
Looks great!

It's magic, and a magician never gives away his tricks.....

And my middle name is Martin (a fact) @woodysone , and anyone with the name Martin is special

And another UFK in Ghost scales...

Bob,

Any chance we could see a spine shot with the ghost scales? They look great!!!

Thanks,
Justin

Simple, Bob gets in on the sales just like everyone else does but Bob's also a a time traveller! So when he goes forward in time, he has the fastest Internet and when he goes back, he erases his "I take it" posts so no one but Nathan who is also a time traveller (high in other words) sees them!

Congrats Bob on those beauties

But his assistant does because of the recent very low pay

Damn, Matty, giving away one of my secrets,,shame on you!

 

[Oyster]

Anyone know which scales might become available going forward so that the rest of us plebs/peons know whether to jump now or wait?

 

[betzner]

They are listed in the last sale thread, just no pics of them all. The Ghost/Black G-10 is there

betzner Bob, you've got to get a shot of that ghost G10 out on the deck at sunset, like you did with those amber-handled customs!

Lol. Well the scales do look different there than in Bob's picture. I think if the ghost scales get some light behind them they're really going to pop.

Don't be too jealous of Bob's early pickin's.

I have it on good authority that the blanks that fail magnaflux testing are the ones Nathan sets aside for Bob's knives.

Don't believe me? Look at his NASK, catastrophic edge damage and Bob was just cutting the cheese when it happened. Nathan knows what he is doing.

I think you are dead on. I now remember seeing these having been shown by Jo, and now as we discuss them, realize that the light will make quite a difference. I'll image the UFK in good light and find out,,,

 

[betzner]

I took a bunch of images in the waning sunlight of the Ghost scales. Wherever you turn them you get a different flash of translucency. I picked several ones somewhat randomly to show below, which I think you will find really Ghostly! Just one further comment - when these first arrived, i didn't realize the light would make all the difference in the world and, in fact, thought about returning them! Now, I have been "enlightened". Gorgeous stuff, thanks, Jo!!

I bet those would look cool over some different colored liners

The right blue can look pretty good from what I’ve seen.
