The handle pattern on the Active Duties are called Raptor Scales

Are you certain that is correct, Bully? I thought that was called the EDC pattern. As I understood things, Raptor is a surface cut description, not a handle pattern. We may be splitting hairs....

If I am right, the Upper left and lower right are Raptor cut SF and Ergo handles.

I believe we are both right. I meant it was the style of the pattern cut in the handles, I didn't mean it was the shape of the handle . I think the pattern cut in the AD's handles, and also the 2 you pictured (the scalloped pattern) are called Raptor scales.

Anyone else want to help out?

:D:D
 
Eric, are you ok with the fact that grinducci did all the work on those?:D
 
Hmmmmmm....what word comes to mind...hmmmmm, let's see....I'm thinking perhaps....

Nice collection Eric! There's alot of time and patience there!:thumbup:
 
I think you have more Snake Skin handled Blades than I have total Blades!!!

I have to say the Rope Cut is my absolute favorite!
 
I think the rope pattern shows off the micarta better than anything else. My favorite recent handles were the green micarta satin jacks, with the rope pattern. Snakeskin is nice, especially on the AD's and smaller blades, but I'm not so fond of the straight horizontal lines that seem to show up in some of the larger handles.

Thanks for the pics!
 
W:eek:W!!!
I'm definitely still just a lowly, lowly piglet humbled be these sweet knives in your pix.
 
Thank you guys for the kind words, I think most of you are lying when you say that you don't have this many Busses. You're just being nice which I appreciate, it is very HOGly of you ;)

However, having said that I don't trust a one of you ;) I know how the HOG mind works, say something nice about someone's INFI, they drop their guard and leave the INFI unprotected ;)

But it was nice to hear the compliments, now keep your hands off of my INFI ;) (we need a little leprechaun smilie here )

:D:D

(I'm just joking for those of you who don't know me very well ;) )
 
Those rope cut snakes look awesome, Porkerson! How is that convex (?) edge on the fourth one down in the middle? It looks like a quick blade for the size.
 
RT,
Those are some good looking pics and knives. Thanks for sharing them. The more I look at the AD the more I really like that knife. I'm glad I was able to get some when they were available

:D:D
 
Now I get to blame Porkerson...for making me feel like a lowly, non-piglet, excuse for a pseudo-collector.

How, oh how, shall I ever compete??!

[BTW -- don't trust Jaxx! That guy will do anything for INFI...]
