Finally, I got the funds together and ordered me a NMFBM from the Custom Shop.
At first I was told 6-24 weeks Production time, but after just 5 (yes FIVE) weeks the mail came in...
Your NMFBM is ready for shipping, please pay USD *** .......
So time went SLOW, and just when I remembered 10 days from payment to shipping, I realized Bladeshow was comming up..
Da.. I thought, and since I never received a tracking number, I thought they was too busy packing for Blade so I was`nt really expecting to get it till after Blade...
But,,,,,,,,, just last saturday a letter from customs was in the mailbox, saying my package had arrived WOOOOHOOOOO!!!
Sadly the customs Office was closed, sunday came and even Monday was a hollyday up here, oooh the agony...
Tuesday I was leaving early for an overnighter in the Woods With my oldest boys class (what better way to test a beauty like this). But I did`nt have time to pick it up before we left (GRRRRRRRRRRR).
So just had to bring my TGLB for fire-prep (it Works well for that, but it aint no New blade to me, LOL)
Wednesday came and we got home, first thing I did, drop the kit in the hall, run to the car and off to customs we go....
Customs officer wanted to know whats in the package, so I tell him it`s a BIG knife..
Quote: Do I need to check it out?
Me (almost jumpin in excitement): Do you want to, it`s no problem, just check it out, I want you to check it out....(LOL)
Get the package to the car and rip it to pieces almost before I can Close the door....
And find this.....:

My grail, Satin, full convex With black canvas micarta, she`s a beauty, and will be beaten on like she stole my whiskey....
