Was I the only one that ordered a SAR-8 SE last night?

...or did we all just not care as much this time around? It seemed like they hit the company store without so much as a peep on the boards last night.
 
They are sold out, so SOMEONE bought them. I wanted one bad, and I love the orange G10 handles, but I can't afford it.

I didnt check this morning. They're sold out already? Wow... that was faster than the LE version. I almost waited till morning to order from my office. Glad I didn't.
 
I will be limping by with just the LE:cool::cool:

Skunk does not always throw all the knives into the store at once,
Sometimes they trickle out:thumbup:
 
I"m barely alive from the LE but checked and they were out fast, I thought they would have lasted way longer then the LE. Should have hit one up...
 
I snagged one. In fact, I passed on the LE, and was holding out for the version with the Orange/Black G-10 handles. Of the SAR-4s that I have, that configuration is my favorite.
 
What they need is a SAR 6. The 8" is too long to be practical for military use. Going 8" turned a "SAR" knife into a short machete. If the SAR nomenclature is going to be accurate they need to be 4-6" blades.
 
Peep!

LOL - I bot a Marco Bolo instead. I've wanted a Ripper-style knife for a long time. Now I'm getting one. Sharpening it might be a bugger tho.

I am holding out for the Bushwacker too. I can't wait. I'd love to hold a SAR8 though. They look really nice and less handle heavy than the SAR4.

FS... 20 SAR8-SE's @ $597 per... :foot: ;):D:D Too soon again??? :o;) LOL

Actually, I skipped this one in hopes of seeing them in either satin finished with black paper or G-10, or a D/C & black micarta version like the other SAR4 combos were... Plus I gotta start socking away cash for the ABMESH (AKA the Bushwhacker Mistress). :thumbup: Can't forget that one!

They're much less handle heavy. Really, it's a sweet knife, and if you can swing the cabbage, you should grab one while you can! :thumbup:

They were sold out within two hours. Or at least they were gone from the order page when I checked the store at about 10:30 (Texas time).

I really wanted a zero edge convex blade like this. The LEs were the same and I missed them. Chances of any future releases with this same edge again seemed slim... I guess... I too would love black paper or G10, but its less important to me than edge type.
