There were a ton of "desert" releases for a bunch of models, but they were color variations, not necessarily mentioned as mil overruns and could have easily been ganzaa offerings or custom shop blades by what I read.
Apparently there was a tool made as well A2T (thanks to a PM
)
I didn't realize the terror monkey was a family of knives. That's confusing. And does that speak to DSF with the terror monkey color scheme, because I've seen posts where it's called desert as well. The Boss St. had the same coloration, so I'd assume That "Terror monkey" is just a color option like the Desert ones from 2003? (I'm probably way wrong on that date.)
There was a desert ruck, and then it looked like there was a ruck with more of a tanto point to it, so I listed it twice. Some of the pics aren't from dead on so the perspective is funky. Also, I did all the research on my phone, so I'm not surprised to have a couple things incorrect.
The jacks: yep a SRKW jack (just brown ResC and brown camo blade so probably SWKW) and a busse satin jack desert, (and the STAC-ETS) the SRKW and SJ pics I saw were taken from the "unbranded side", so it's impossible to say what shop they really came out of, but I have them listed as I think they were manufactured.
Also, with no pics of the NO variants, or indeed probably MANY more knives, it's hard to say how many, or what they looked like. Like with the ARK- is it two separate knives, when it looks like you could have ordered the same thing from the custom shop?
The BIBB is on my list
I never saw a pic of it though.
As I was going through this I still think that the Ripper and EU variations seem to be the most "made specially for a special mil group", than the rest. The color variations of standard offerings, while interesting for a completest, aren't innovative like these European offerings are IMHO.
I would really like to see a release with a "Euro" handle option. They seem to fill a cool nitch between the Ergo, and Fusion handle styles. The Souls seem to have a modded TAC style handle, but not as tall through the middle finger area.
If anyone has a EU or Ripper I'd be interested to hear what they have to say about the ergonomics of it.
Tanto blade:
Does the Dragon Fang count as a "regular offering" I've only seen pics of three of them. I thought they were essentially one-offs like the Chuckette.
Jerry had SJTAC's made for this member and his team also engraved with his team's motto, and decided to do a run for us as a Ganza, with a percentage of the price of each knife going to help with the expenses of Team Delta's project, which they were paying for out of their own pockets.
