the other 3rd gen handle is my good old modded nick that is no longer with me. pure beater, it was transformed from a NICK to a recurved clip point (sorta) that was sj size.
Is that the one that Rick has now?
I am surprised.
If I wanted an SJTac, I could get one.
I would understand people asking for the SFNO because everyone wants one and the prices are high, but an SJTac is easy to find and not too expensive (except for an LE).
What we need is for Busse to produce a knife that isn't available at any price, the ASH-1 CG.
I have not seen that many SJ TACs around. Tell me if you see one around. Also what is the thickness of the SJ TAC?
3/16" for the regular sjtac
.220-.225" for the hogsjtacle
Is that the one that Rick has now?
I did not like the TAC handles when I first felt them. But they have grown on me quite a bit after my hands got use to them. I still think that the middle hump should be removed for a more comfy feel. The original SJ feels fairly comfy to me. I just prefer the wider blade of the SJTAC because it has a higher potential for better geometry.
It's kinda what happened with out "voting" for the 2007 Anniversary model. Ergo - Anniversary Steel Heart One.
I like the idea!
