The HOGB8 Thread

Here are a couple of quick indoor shots (apologize for quality) of how Mark's rig rides underneath my pack belt and also obscured by my arm, so that it attracts minimal attention but is immediately deployable. (Keep in mind this is a mirror image, and I'm wearing the rig cross-draw. Camera is in my strong hand (right handed). :

Fit, finish and retention are dead solid perfect. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Better Model??? Looks awesome from where I'm sitting...:thumbup:

 

[Will York]

Too kind, Busto--but thanks. I know my 65-year-old frame can't compete with all you young hard-body studs, but it's nice to still be accepted without ridicule by my fellow hogs.

An aspect of Mark's construction that really impresses me is how thin and light this sheath is--only 3 oz and the body of the sheath is only 3/8" thick:

Not to mention easy on the eyes:

I gotta say it again... THAT is a Slick set-up Will!!!

Looking good Will! It was a real pleasure meeting Mark at Blade; he is really a cool guy.

I posted a couple pics of the B-8 Combat grades that I scored, over at Scrap Yard. Lots of other pics as well.

At first glance I was thinking..."What Model would be better for that rig than a Basic-8?...."

then I realized, it wasn't the knife....

Hi Stumpy! I had a great time at the show, but it sure is good to be back home!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[knifeleather]

Thanks guys....Will, glad you like it!
Great meeting you Tom, as well as many others. Had a blast at Blade!

 

[Stump Buster]

Hey Tom,

In one of Eric's ads in the Exchange, he states the thickness of the B8CG is .22". Can you give us an idea on blade thickness and any handle differences between these show blades and the LE's?

TIA and CONGRATS on ALL your scores!!!:thumbup:

 

[Tom Kanik]

I will check my B-8s later and post my findings. Right now I have to finish mowing the grass.
