Would love to see pics and thoughts of this model.

Well, this is my first. A variant anyway. Pleasantly suprised about the size, though it would be bigger, but this is light, slim and nimble..

I planned on knocking the Tanto off myself (I used a Lansky once, I should be good to go, yea?) But after receiving the knife, I'm not sure..don't want screw it up trying to put belly on it myself. (I've already sent Josh an email, waiting for reply) Listed as .250... but, closer to .220 under the coating I think. In all fairness it does look like .250 w/ an anolog mic.

And also listed as Tanker Gray, looks more like Sage, but I'm not sure.

I originally thought it was a full flat grind but looks to be a full convex or flat to convexed at edge...hard to tell with coating...plug line makes me think full convex from spine to edge..

Question: Would a convexed edge be preferable over a V edge..?

Well, here it is. Let see some Boss's

seems like a shame to kill that tanto. pretty unusual for that model. just saying. gotta make it your own though.

Thanks for the pics, boring.

Honestly, I'm on the fence at this point. I like it better in person than in the pics I saw. I had planned this before I received it. I like it so much, I want to use it and a little belly would go a long way. But, it is a beautiful and unique CS..IDK.

If I don't have it reprofiled..I'll deem it too nice to use, it will stay in the safe until I sell or trade it..Maybe I should look for a user BJ before I hack this one.

Ahh, damn

Thanks TP618. I'm looking for opinions, so...I may have to grant this CS a stay of execution for the moment..I can always screw it up later..can't unscrew it.

She is handsome

I have another M6 on the way..I'll strip and take my frustrations out on that when it arrives...I may even remove the coating:D
