Sus Scrofa vs Meaner

[shigawire4sure]

Wondering if any one here has pics of both a Sus Scrofa and a Meaner/LMs? For that matter any one have a pic of all the smaller Busses ie: AD, LMR/Mr, GW, SS even a Cultelus? Any Im forgeting? Id like to see a overall size comparison of them as I plan to pick up a SS next but it doesnt seem to be well represented in pics often. Any reason for this?

Guyon-
Thanx man thats exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to find me a Satin Sus w/maybe Blk mic or G-10. Really like the lines of the scrofa, looks wicked sharp.

edit: now could you show me a comparison with a shot of Jamesons and a pint o' Guiness?

The blue/satin is quite nice. Here's a pic stolen from lunde's website:

Yeah thats one that got me thinking about it. Not really big on the blue though. Prefer blk/orange but may jump on that one anyhow. I like satin for smaller blades. the LE is satin right?

 

[Guyon]

I've thought about picking up one to match the Bruiser Warden. If they sit there long enough, I probably will...

How thick is the LE?? I didnt realize there were two thickness's

According to bussecollector.com, both the LE and CG are .187". I have not verified with my calipers yet.

Waybackmachine confirms the .187 number for both grades.

Those would make a nice pair.

When you say large martini glass, just how large is large? Is it everyday lunch size or more the 'I'll be done in 30 minutes, AKA HOG size?

Love your glass and knife pix. Never know which makes me drool more, the blade or the drink

I think this question has come up before. Has it been confirmed by folks that the SS LE is really 0.187"?

pardue10- You got a pic of the satin/blk?

 

[pardue10]

There is a pic of it on Ebay. I used to be a Gold Member but I'm not now. If I keep it I am going to have to have it reprofiled. Decided to sell it. Thanks

 

[shigawire4sure]

Ill take a look.thanx.

I actually prefer the Scrofa over the Meaner, by a good margin. It's a more useful design, IMO. The only drawback to the design is that it will be difficult, but not impossible to sharpen.

 

[leatherman]

Nah, not difficult at all with the right stones. You just need a convex surface, slip stones come immediately to mind, I use them for my woodworking gouges. Spyderco sharpmaker stones would have the right profile as well. Crock sticks would work too.
