Just wanted to share this with the forum I found it to be a great read and decided to post it for all the SHBM fans.... I hope nobody minds...
Hi Kris,
Thanks for the interest.
The top blade in each photo is a hand grind by Jerry so we could test the function of the offset grind. You can see the grind lines as it isn't finished off as most of his satin blades were. The bottom blade is one he took more material from to try to lighten it. The top blades weighs 24.6 oz and the bottom weighs 22.7 ounces. Not sure which sheath goes with which knife or if I even got these sheaths with these blades. FWIW the top blade show more usage. That is because it is one of the two BM's I took to Peru when I lived with the Candoshi Indians. These are also the blades that showed in the American Survival Guide, March 1998 issue. Scans included.
