Picked this one up yesterday. You guys ever seen one like it? Looks like a LE with no number and different scales. I like the coated ones for users but this one sure is attractive with all that shiny steel.

Beautiful. Black canvas scales would be my guess. From the spine thickness we could possibly tell if it started as an LE blank or something else...
 
Yep, black canvas scales. Looks to be a tad over 1/4" with my tape measure. Definately one of the nicer BM's I've owned.
 
Oh man that is a beaut! I LOVE that combo. Nekkid INFI and black canvas handles oh yeah!
 
I think I saw that or a similar one at Knob Creek some years ago.

Could be wrong ... but I think that's where I saw it.

Fine knife. Good catch!
 
That's a beauty! :thumbup: Is that black canvas for sure? Mine is green linen for sure and it looks very similar to yours. I'm not the original owner and I can't remember who I got it from and I always wondered where it came from or how it came to be - it's about .281" thick.

Man that sure is sweet. I'm hog wild for black canvas lately. What a beast, great score!

Nice one ;)
Yeah, mine is definately black canvas. Thickness is a bit over 1/4" so it could be .281. Think these must have been show knives possibly showing up here and there. Definately one of the nicer Battle Mistresses I've owned.
 
Nice!

I wish I still had my modded FBMLE!


Some one else has custody of her now, and she never writes, or sends pictures!
 
That's a real good lookin' Mistress, rover. :thumbup: Congrats!! :)
 
Seriously tough to tell from the photo if the scales are Black Canvas or Green Linen. Here's a photo of Green Linen scales on a sterile FBMLE for comparison.
