I picked this up at Eugene and promptly walked it over to Brian at Okuden. Well the wait is over and it arrived last night. This will become my new SAR and camp blade.

With Okuden sheath. This thing rocks. It has extra width at the bottom for attaching a pouch and extra material at top for pushing off when drawing the knife. As always the retention is awesome.

It took some work to figure out how to set it up and still be able to get to both knives. I wear gloves while on searches and I needed to be able to get a solid grip before unsheathing. It's unorthadox looking but it works well.

In anticipation or the SARsquatch release I was looking at the handle options. I thought these were black and tan but based on what I saw on Busse Combat I'm not sure. Their black and tan was more white and black. Is what I have the Olive G-10? Or is it a special that is not regulary avaible. Any thoughts form anybody?
 
Helle - Thanks I like it much better than the BATAC I had.

Thanks Tyrkon. You didn't sell your SW did you? Probelly one of my all time favorite small fixed blades. I need to get another just to have a spare.

james, that certainly looks like OD/black G-10 to me. all of the black and tan I've seen is more of a black and white except the stuff on the BMs, which is definitely tan. you prefer the G-10 over micarta scales? just curious.

Hey James, that's a seriously nice rig you've got there. The scales look like the OD G10 on my ASH layered with the black. Very nice color combo.

EDIT: just seconds behind Din...................
 
Din and Prusik - thanks for the info. Makes sense that its OD and Black G-10. I bought this one cause I liked the way it felt in my hand. The BATAC I had just felt wrong. Nothing against Micarta I have others with it. I also like the way it looks. I'm going to try and get others with this combo so they all match.

Prusik - This is the one I replaced the BATAC with. Enjoy it.

But **heavy sigh** alas, no Oku love for Solstice.....yet.:( Hopefully soon....I would like to try my soon to be new Oku rig out on a serious camp out/trip that I'll be going on in 2 weeks.

Did anyone happen to get some pictures of Brian's table at Blade? I'm hoping he had a sucessful and fun time.
