[Nuker]

Is it just my eyes or does this TGULB have a wider fuller than the standard?

Definitely wider… good eye.

It appears to me that its' the same fuller with its edges rounded off making it appear wider.

 

[Nuker]

Yeah, hard to say for sure. You’ve got a good eye, Cobalt.

What made me think it’s wider:
1) Std has a flat spot between fuller & primary bevel. LE looks like fuller extends to primary bevel.
2) Ends of fuller seem more rounded on LE & more pointy on standard.

If you look close at the radiusing of the new fuller, you can see where the radius ends on the inside, like a second line. That line is close to where the old fuller was.

I think they took a comp finish blade and ground it more, to be Satin. If you look at Rolling Thunder blades there was many examples of this, like with Trough Raiders. Thats why the fuller looks that way (imo)

So, i've never ordered a LE before. If we want a custom number larger than the production run, will they do that?

Yes, you can request a higher number. idahoskunk used to always get "911." Almost always... he missed the boat on SFNO LE. He might have been busy at a shooting competition, crashing his plane, or something.

 

[Don't drop it.]

I’m not ordering because I can’t order a specific number. When I go to there website to order and choose a specific number, nothing works.

You can just put it in the comments of your order.

 

[Nuker]

And... if the number you wanted was already requested (or passed)... you get the next sequential number in the run. Meaning, you would get the number after the last order received.

 

[Cobalt]

Exactly, like Nuker will get the number after the one he asked for since that one is mine.

You can always ask. Put a note in the comments on the order page requesting your number(s). Worst you'll hear is no.

SFNOLE was "#xxx of 300". Not sure Skunk could have gotten #911 of 300. Jerry might have just marked one of them as #911 for him though, considering Scott's connection with Busse.
That used to be the way it was, based on the LE runs going up to 999 pieces (whether that many were sold or not). Eric Isaacson used to request #999 LE's... Yes, there are rumors of a few HOGs getting a 4 digit number on an LE in the past, but that is a long time ago.
I saw a post much more recently stating that a number request was turned down, & I'm guessing that the newer LE runs might be smaller in quantity...
So if the run is 500 pieces & someone orders #777, that probably won't happen these days.
BUT... It never hurts to ask! Worst you'll hear is no.

I think I should get dibs on the number 69 because its my birth year, over someone who's ordering it for unspeakable reasons.

Heh... didn't stop him from trying:

I dunno why, he knew that there would only be 300, & marked that way.

But funny thing, that pic reminded me that only #013 got marked with the zero. I have #3, & it is just "#3 of 300", same with #27 of 300 not being "#027".
Gotta admit, I was hoping it would've been #003 of 300 lol for symmetry
So, long & short, #013 has a rare variance in the serial #.
