I'm a regular over at the Busse forum and I often forget there's other manufacturer forums here.

Here's my post from over there about a special 0100:

A lot of you know I took my acura for a short flight off the mountain I live on in April of last year and nearly died. This knife was in the car with me and was ejected. I paid my neighbor's brother to take me back to the crash site the day after I got out of the hospital, climb down and find the knife for me. He did and ever since I've wanted to send it off to Will at Up Armored knives to give it a little special flair, a sort of an ode to mine and the knife's tolerance to destruction.

He doesn't usually work in red much, but red is the main color of my clan's kilt, so it makes it extremely personal for me :)

He also made a synthetic suede-lined kydex sheath for it with his signature artwork

I would literally have to not have a dollar left to my name to have to sell this knife. Scottish guys are known for loving their knives and with all the personal connection I have to it, I would like to pass it down one day and have it be a family heirloom, a symbol of the Roy clan's perseverance.
 
That looks awesome! That's a touching story too, your family would be lucky to have it passed down. Glad to see you made it out of there!
 
Glad you and your knife are able to tell the tale. The knife looks great.
 
Cool knife and story to go along with it :thumbup: DanBo82 vs. Mountain, DanBo82 WINS!
 
Wow, knife turned out great Danbo. Glad you're around to tell us about it.:thumbup: How long have you been in Livermore?

Cool, I only ask because growing up I was always going to Pinky's Pizza in Walnut Creek, and I ended up working there in high school in the eighties, tended bar there later on. The owner Tom opened up a second Pinky's in Livermore back then and I used to make deliveries to the place from time to time. The Livermore one has been closed for some time though i think.
 
I never knew there was one in Livermore. I had to think about it, but I've been to the Pinky's in Walnut Creek. I went to a bay area riders forum function there about seven or eight years ago.
 
Most important that you are doing well,that is good news. The knife is very nice and will be a cool heirloom for your family with a story to go with it.
