Hey gang,

I participated to this thread for a long time. I don't mind asking..... And asking..... And showing interest.... But at one point it just felt (to me) like begging.

You guys toughed it out with unbreakable faith. This juggernaut of a thread is nearing its conclusion. A couple more weeks won't make a difference.

...patience, my brothers .... I do believe that the folks at BUSSE will make it worth your while.

Kudos to you all.

Let's drink to THAT :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Okay... My F5 Cramps:D went away and I got some rest, so I'm good to go!

Let's keep this train Rollin'!!!

Any chance a CGHOGB8 is going to hit the website for a regular run? Just checking so I don't buy a bunch of these and then not have the funds for a production CG run.;)

The Basic 10 seems too neutral in hand to me, whereas the Satin Battle Rat of almost the exact same size just feels better.

Hey Resin... Are you going to get one of these B8's? I was playing with my B10 (W/ choil) all evening and the blade on the B8 is going to be thinner and shorter, so I think it's going to be really REALLY light in the hand. I have a SBR, BR, Battle Guard, Dogfather, Euro-6 and 2 B10's and I can't believe I'm even saying this after all the fun we've had on this thread, but I'm on the fence. If it was thinner (.187" or less), I'd have snagged one for the kitchen and you already know I've been jonesin' for a .275" INFI SOD/Camp Tramp with some serious unbreakable blade heft (actually, I think it would feel just about like a SBR).:D

If I didn't have the above blades, I'd order one of each (at least) and at the .22 thickness, they'll make a great lightweight camp knife.

WOW, I can't believe I just typed that, but after fondling the "PERFECT 10 of the blade world" tonight, I may sit this one out and see if a HOG B8 gets offered from the store... I'm covered well in the INFI/Res-C department with the Euro-6 and B10's.

Buuuuuut, Who knows what I'll do on Tuesday though... I already have the email typed out and ready to go (with more than just the B8 on the list).:thumbup:
 
Oh and....

only 3 more posts to get us to 3,800 replies!!!

C'mon Will, Tom, Ragner, and all the other faithfuls.... Take us over the top!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
No problem!:D I love the fact that the B-8 will be .220 like my AshWhackers....I REALLY like that blade thickness!!!;):thumbup::thumbup:
