Rarest of the rare

It's a Steel Heart ergo variant. Somehow, it escaped Eric Isaacson & idahoskunk, the two HOGs with the largest appetite for and collections of SH-v's out there, AFAIK. :)
 
Loving this thread. So much so I went to look around to see if I had anything rare. Couldn't find much but this pic shows how fat an Off Duty is next a Snake Skin original AD:

The les baer jackhammer you mentioned, only 4 were made. I thought the coating they used on them was les baer's poly ceramic coating & not a crinkle coat?

THe one pictured that there were only 4 made had same coating as the gun. The ones that were eventually ordered for the set is a crinkle coat sage just like or nearly identical to todays sage coating which is nothing like what is on the knife I showed.:thumbup:
 
Not sure if this is a rare, but who I got this from is. Brought this from Jamie (Old Physics) for exactly the amount he paid (it still has the price tag). How rare is that??? BTW has anyone heard from him? Missed his postings, always a good read.

These were custom hand grinded by Jerry for the original owner Ronybear.

The Bad Apple, I believe this may have been Skunks.

Wished I had discover Busse Combat much earlier.

Jerry used to do a lot of small run specials for Blade, Fogo's Steak Knife comes to mind. Lots of n of 3 or 5s out there.

That looks like one of these - I was told there were 5 of these Custom Skelly Wardens - each with different G10 inlays. I have seen 4....

Let me see, a production knife that just an example or two were made, but did not make it into regular Production, When the E-Models were introduced there was a smaller than the Badger E made, Called the Game Warden, showed at the show where the other E-Models were introduced, maybe a picture or two in a Magazine, I know of Two, the first one has a Logo, on the back of the handle I think, Skunk has the other one.

The Mis-Marked ZTNO as ZTSH is one of a kind Mistake, Monty has that now, The INFI BBSHSH, oh ya, Monty has that one now too, maybe the Steel Heart Ghosts, oh crap, Monty got that one too, Monty was a Very Busy Fella I will have you know!

Early Triple Grinds, especially Badger Attacks, the one Quadruple Grind Badger

Back in the Beginning, Back when just Battle Mistresses were made from INFI there was a Mutant (that is what Variants were called back then) looks very much like the Blue Grass Bowie, a long clip point, but is the length of a Steel Heart but made from a Battle Mistress and BeadBlasted.

Pictures, yup, I should get back to doing that again some day.
 
A 1/14 bobbed clip point NOe and what I believe is a 1/1 SAR5 variant :D spending a little time with the passaround SHBA. Thanks for the opportunity! ×inebriated* awesome thread

Here is a pic of the 1 of 3 Bird 'n' Trouts.

Jerry said he made these around Christmas either '82 or'83 for three brothers so they'd all have one.

Somewhere there are two brothers who don't know what they have, at least as it relates to our world of rare or treasures items.....

(NOTE: The scrimshaw work was not done by Jerry or before delivery)

 
Voracious just told me there was a pink Bad Apple??? My googlefu is not well today, anyone have a pic?
 
Here is another odd show find for me. Not sure how rare these were but this was the first and only one I have ever seen.
