The Flea Market Mung Absolution Thread

Thanks Schmittie! Ask away if you have any questions.

Thanks Blue! Maybe just a bit too OCD there but hopefully it helps.

 

@Warrior108 Your pic idea also gives a great size reference as well. I am surprised by how small the bushboot is.

 

The Bushboot isn't that small, I don't think. There's a Babyboot in the mix too. Keep in mind I wear 2XL or preferably 3XL gloves and kinda have the nickname "gorilla hands" in the pool league. hahaha

 

You're right, i meant Babyboot. ooh pool league, I just picked up a sweet McDermott cue.

 

Nice, cues are my other weakness. Predator P3's and P2's ..



So yeah, Babyboot. Sorry Andy @Fiddleback and @Lady1911 but I really don't meannnnnn to pick on the Babyboot but when I hold it in my hand, the Dane Cook "Clue Knife" comes to mind. hahahaha

edit: Oh yeah, probably because of her crazy outtakes but that "stabbing action with a tiny knife" reminds me of @Outpost Allison

I pulled out the section for ya'll and tell me that doesn't fit the Babyboot

 

@jaz322 is that Blackwood on the BLJ?

 

No sir, it appears to be a dark maroon g10 or similar (linen micarta?). Here is a closeup of the handle next to my other one (that i bought from you iirc).

I have a vintage Diomedes neck sheath used for one of my runts but will include it if it makes a difference to the buyer. It’s a collectors item in and of itself!

 

Thanks! Was hoping it was Blackwood, but I’m still super tempted by that one ... probably going to keep me up tonight LOL!

 

With neck (or slip) sheath.

 

One of those is clearly not 3/32....
@Hunam You are correct that not all three knives are the same precise thickness. I listed the knives per the makers specifications. I see some folks list a micrometer measurement, while this leaves folks running for a conversion chart... maybe I should list the micrometer measurement in parentheses. This gives us knuckle draggers a rough thickness and discerning folks a more accurate measurement.

Thanks,
Bill

 

the cpm154 stock is usually bit thicker

 

Feel free to make an offer on the Babyboot in post 14153 of the Flea Market.

 

$2.50

 

Sure. Just add a small fee of $197 for shipping and handling.

 

Wish I had the money for the Esquire with the sheath that @Curl of the Burl posted tonight.

 

there's some awesome knives right now on the Fiddleback Forge website. Especially that thin 3/32" Osage, cpm154 Handyman

 

Everyone is selling and few people buying!

 

Probably because they bought more than one Fiddleback and realized, ooops, maybe I should sell one or two. Which is a good variety to choose from.

 

Ain’t That the Truth

 

Or.......since the IRS is a bunch of poopy-heads, some of us just *might* be preparing for the Big Bohica.
