The more I contemplate the "precious" in the collection, the more this beauty comes to the forefront of my mind. It's perfect! The FBM Prototypes are WOW items, but I really love my Blues Warden.
Now I have my Christmas shopping list!!![]()

I think it was from the same Ganza, just got ground a little differently.
Not only is ground differently, the blanks look different too. Mine is a full 1/4" but yours looks to be the 3/16" variety. Cool.

FWIW, there were a handful of blades released by the Boss with the stipulation that they could not be photographed, sold or otherwise traded. (Soul 1 and 2, maybe the folder protos??) Those conditions were non-negotiable. They could, however, at least be mentioned but not described in specifics. And, "nope," I unfortunately ain't got any of the three much to my chagrin nor have I even seen one. I do have faith that it's true, though.
(And, "yes." I think you are a jerk, John, because you've got several pieces of choice INFI that I covet!!)
It's sort of hard to decide. Often, it's the one in my hand at the moment. The users like my HHFSH and M6 would be the hardest to pry from my hands but some of the customs are the "most precious" because of the beauty and workmanship put into them.
Probably...

But the real "precious" are the two lil blonde monsters who make every day like an episode of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

That is a good question Tony. Hey Jerry if one of these bastids has a folder proto, could he quietly and privately show it to another trusted Hog? If so I call on whoever has one to bring it and show me in private. Nevermind the club I have in my hand.Could they be shown to anyone at all? Say if a guy brought one to Blade? Just curious about it![]()
That is sweet! Is that a badger? It looks longer for some reason.![]()
