This is what I was able to gleen from the ravaged trough at Knob Creek this last weekend. Thought my fellow HOGS would enjoy the pics. Please note that if you are selling any of your FSH, the base price has gone up quite a bit this time. last year a satin FSH with G10 machined grips was $467.00 if you notice the orange one I have the price is $527 PLUS TAX, which puts it to a whopping $558.62.. show cost. There were no BATACs or Mean Streets at the show, nor Team Gemini's. But there were lots to choose from. One day, I'll be able to leave there with only a few in my box.. :) yeah right! It's an addiction!!!!! enjoy!

I don't know what the name of the little swamp rat custom is, but I have been picking this one up for three years now at the shows, thinking it is one of the best feeling knives I've ever held, and I finally got it this year. "it has a picture of a big eyed mosquito over top of the swamp rat signature"

It was great seeing you there, I wish I felt better when I was there. Congrats on the score. And there were no Meaner Streets that you saw of...
 
what's this top one, a SJTAC variant (like a TB and a SJTAC had a baby)? it's kick ass regardless...

Hey Dan, you were feeling pretty rough that night; I thought you were going to pass out a few times, It was good seeing you and having you make offers on the solid bolt I picked up :). Yeah, I saw what all you had in your box"s" and there were lots of little fancy ones in there, i'm figuring a few were meaners.. but I'm just looking for one with basic old canvas handles for a user. Hopefully next show there will be one. I'm just about to the point to where I have all the one's I have ever wanted, unless Jerry comes out with a Steel heart Anniversary II! or an old style badger attack with solid bolts.
See ya in April...
 
I would have snagged that HHFSH in Satin and Pumpkin in a heart beat. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that BC raises Custom Shop show pieces' prices to keep pace with the secondary market. My top knife would have been the Satin Sabre SFNO with sandstorm g-10 had I been able to make it.

It is a Tankbuster variation that about 5 guys tried to get me to give up before I left. I love the old snakeskin and did not have any. it's sweet. I had a custom eagle tactical sheath from a cold steel knife I sold a long time ago that this little baby fit perfect in. It has become one of my favorites. The SJtac custom I liked because it had a .22 thick blade and the grips felt great in the hand, eventhough the color combo was not my favorite.

Yea, only two Meaners... I only offered you money for your smooth bolt cause I thought you could use the extra funds to buy a few more knives :D

Are you referring to the red handled one here? Isn't it an M6 variant of some kind? And what's with the "mosquito" thing? Did someone say that? :D

If all the TBs were that shape, or for that matter - had it even been an option, I'd have bought one.

That's a keeper for sure. I hope we see more of them.
 
I love seeing the snakeskin popping back up on some knives. It is beautiful on that TB variant. Congrats on the great scores.
 
Very nice, Frank. Anytime you want to move that Snake/Tankbuster.......lol:D
