Yes. It's G10. I wish it was just a touch wider...
But it's well within the "pretty good" category.

Thanks all for posting the comparison pics!

Bob Denman Is that black G10 on your satin AFBM? If so, how do you find it to feel in the hand grip wise?

I'm still tryimg to decide between black canvas and black G10.

I've got the G10 on a stonewashed model and it rounded off any edges so it feels very gentle on the hand but since G10 is solid, I wonder if it'll feel slippery when working it hard and you get a bit sweaty?

The black canvas I have (satin model, so the handle didn't get stonewashed) feels more porous and like it be great even when wet, but I like the jet black look of the G10.

Is the G10 in this new traction pattern on your satin model a little rough or pretty smooth or how would you rate it?

@Jaxx Those black scales on your '09 special edition model looks WILD! Like the back of an alligator or crocodile! I LOVE IT!

I have a few users in black g10. I also have a new tac7 and it was sharp when I got it. Just handling it a lot has smoothed it down some and my users are much more smooth. I almost always wear a glove so traction is never an issue but I usually prefer the feel of g10 in hand. You can't go wrong with either

I got the Tac 7 too and indeed it's got some mean grip along the edges of those grooves but I like how it feels. I haven't put it to use yet but I do wonder if it'll raise blisters.

I wondered how this pattern on the fusion handle felt mostly (on a satin blade so it's not stonewashed) as it's so different than what's on the Tac 7.

I guess with that one or this one I just ordered, I can wrap it with that thin rubber self-adhesive tape or just use a glove like you mentioned.

But of course, now I feel like I should also get a stonewashed with the black canvas, lol.

Sigh.... time to go put more up for sale.....

I want a moab so bad , but i cant afford 3500 or more for a knife. Maybe I'll win the lotto before theyre gone.

 

[TheMtnMan]

Really hope the Moab will hang around for a bit on the website, at least long enough to gather some funds together

[MountainMan11]

When should we start sending the emails?
You're gonna have to grow a whole new bunch of Kydexes: to clothe these monsters!!

Need MOAB bend test

Need MOAB bend test

I vote we use yours!

I just had a wild idea, what if that War train was grown to the Moab's size and fattened up?

 

[Bob Denman]

It would weigh 46 tons: but would be terrifying!
Jerry?? Want to build one? I'll buy it!!

 

[Nismo17]

I just had a wild idea, what if that War train was grown to the Moab's size and fattened up?

Lolol. At that point it would be unwieldy and snap wrists. You would need 2 hand grip for something that size.

Although I’m all for a super thick 0.34”+ Ruck waki style blade down the line.

 

[SpyderPhreak]

Haha, you think I'm poor now! Just wait till after this weekend!

Those are some real beauties! I have been wondering what those smooth handle scales were all about on a few models I had seen. Now I know, thanks for that!

Touché lol!

I keep going back and forth. With how thick this is I really need non magnum handles. Spending 2k on a knife that I don't like the thickness of the grip seems like a waste and then I have to spend more to make the handles less

Jerry Busse @Garth Reckner can we get that option?

I'm in the opposite boat with my XXL hands. My 0.32" NMFSH is one of my most comfortable Busse handles to use (an I use that knife a LOT as a result), and I think that's why.

It could be called the "Big Ass Fat Bastard", and I'd buy it!

Love it.

I raise the Kydexes right next to my Nauga's (waht you make naugahyde stuff with)

Need MOAB bend test

Can do, just like my ASH bend test ?

There you go I would buy 2
