some beauty shots before she gets used and scratched up

silverdragon33 · Jun 21, 2009

finally got one of my grail knives, and i'm pretty impressed. it's also my first e handle, which isn't bad at all. busse really needs to make more long and thin blades . . . intentionally. this has to be one of the best mistakes ever

had an excellent factory convex edge already, i just polished it up a bit on a worn 9 micron belt and leather.

can't wait to take it hiking this week

Very nice! Use that sucker!

Matteo Escobar · Jun 21, 2009

So, so nice. The BM-E's are a thing of beauty. So light and agile, yet so effective.

xaman · Jun 21, 2009

NICE score bro, that's an incredible knife...

Lil' Foo · Jun 21, 2009

Congrats... and great pics too!

The ZTBM is the ONLY ergo I've ever considered getting.

I forget, how thin are these?

now that is a beauty of a blade! I was eyeing with it, but it stays in my wet dreams...
the leather isn't too shabby, either...:thumbup:

azshaman · Jun 21, 2009

Beautiful score...and still one of my favorites! Go out and beat her...you'll love it and so will she!

Soulrack223 · Jun 21, 2009

I love my ZTBM! I used to use it but she's mostly retired now. A new long, thin blade would be tops!

3/16" as far as i can tell. don't have calipers, but it looks pretty much the same thickness as my other 3/16" knives

it has quite a few imperfections that i couldn't capture in the pics, which is one of the reasons i'm having no qualms about using it.

I loved mine. But it was mint and I couldn't bring myself to beat her.

So I sold her off to someone who hopefully will use her as intended.

FAST blade. I loved cutting air with it.
