Beautiful inlays!

Thank you! I’m beyond excited! I’ve been looking for one of these for a while. I wished it was a large but a small will do

 

[EOS One]

I called that one UG Jetski. Congrats, it's a beauty.

Thanks, should be here pretty fast if I didn't just jinx myself

The Glass Blasted OD Micarta beauty in the middle is coming back home! It’s one of those if you love something, set it free things.
Thanks Ben!

Well in a continuation of yesterdays completely unexpected “ Returning of the Beauties”, it appears this one will re-join the flock as well! Thank you Dennis!


Does it count as buying a new knife if you have already owned it once? Im asking for a friend.

Honestly it’s one of my favorite knives of all times. Back in the day this was a grail knife for myself and lots of others as well.

Can’t wait to get this one in hand!

Extra congrats on that grab!! Now we must duel to the death to see who gets the honor to have the pair!

 

[Mustacheben]

Such poor life choices…

I was looking at that last night, let’s hope the blade corrosion isn’t too deep!

Use some barkeepers friend and see if it comes out!

I was on the fence about it but wasn’t sure how deep it was. If won’t come out It’ll make a great user anyway!

 

[badmatt]

Absolutely!

The blade on that one is not original to the knife.

The blade on that one is not original to the knife.

The thumb-stud is definitely not correct but in the enlarged photos on AZK the blade is straight grained and polished, much like my P.

 

[Kettleman]

Yep the stud is from the early Regs. Stud swap maybe?

It doesn't look polished on my screen, but that could well be the way they took the pic. Their pics tend to wash out from exposure.

So it seems.

 

[Mustacheben]

@Lone_Wolfe @badmatt thanks for the info! I thought the stud looked off but wouldn’t have considered the blade might have been not original. I assumed that since it was back at CRK for a reissue COA and box it was verified.

I agree. I cant see tho polish in those photos.
