BTW VVilliam ... avatar after my own heart. Very cool :thumbup:

Yes it is a great avatar, just needs to have the Hinderer Horse Jumping out of the fire, like the Rubi fires!

Thank you, If I remember correctly, it was taken at one of my favorite camp stops at red river gorge, KY.

Guess what...

Guess what...

You've got Pond Scum!!!

 

[VVilliam]

You've got Pond Scum!!!

BINGO!!!

This will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of my knife collecting hobby. I can't even contain myself
Here's what's on the way to my mailbox:

 

[Jensen81]

^ Wow!!!! Congrats!!! That is a huge score. That is a prime example too! I am so jealous! Awesome grab buddy. I'm really glad that your hunt paid off.

 

[kwazyjuice]

Dang VVilliam!! Your persistence paid off buddy!! Sweet score indeed! Congratulations

 

[AZ2AK]

Congrat VVilliam, that's a great score all around!

 

[VVilliam]

Thanks everyone! I wouldn't have found it without your help, and the suggestion to put a wtb in my signature. Now just the long shipment from California to Ohio

 

[Kowan]

Congrats on getting one.
I doubt I'd ever end up with a pond scum, so I've ordered a translucent green one from Rick.

 

[RubiconSS]

Congrats on the inbound VV.
Kowan, Trans Green (a personal favorite) is a GREAT scale IMO - Love it and "If" it ever becomes "unavailable" will quickly become the Pond Scum of our age

^ I've been wanting to try a trans green scale. They look really clean. Rubi I wonder how many trans green scales will be ordered after reading your post. Haha.

HaHa I am a realist about my powers of persuasion (orders may drop)

I do really like the trans green scale, clean looking as you pointed out AND it is very conducive to accessory flexibility (blue, bronze, copper,etc) ALL look good with it.
I believe it is my favorite G10 scale.

 

[Kowan]

The translucent green is going to replace the flat dark earth the knife came with.
It already had bronze standoffs I added. Today it got blinged out with a bronze Steel Flame Crusader Cross clip, bronze Skull filler tab, and bronze Crusader Cross handle nut.
My other two XMs got some major love too.

Rob threw in some unexpected swag too.

Sorry for derailing your thread VVilliam.

 

[Need2Know]

Trans green is unlike Pond Scum in one very obvious way...the material for the Scum is no more but the TG G10 is.

 

[Need2Know]

@VV----nice sterile G4 Slicer.

 

[MRaymond]

I have been wanting a Trans Green scale for a while. But now especially that I have all of the blue ti hardware. I should just sell my dark green and buy the trans...

 

[Jensen81]

Screw it. I'm holding out for a pond scale. Patience is my weapon.

Hi Rubi,


I will assume you use trans green on your WF blades? I know it's off topic, but you can you either post or IM a picture for me?



Thank you in advance!

 

[VVilliam]

Jensen, If I can get lucky enough to snag one, I'm sure you'll get one eventually. You've been here waaay longer than I have

Also, I know that the material is gone, but if it could be made once, why can't it be made again? Even if it was created accidentally, it is an unusually good looking color combination. I guess it pretty fun to hunt around for rare items. Especially once you succeed in finding what you're after.
