I love being rural. My "dealer" the guy i get swaps, used buys, and horsetrade with
with from time to time, came up with a trade a couple of weeks ago, I been sorta down, so I couldn't really enjoy take it out and kick the tires, as it dont look like its going to improve, thanks to the VA/Federal Gvt, I might as well bite the bullet and get used to it.
any way, he swapped it to me to knock some of the onsite labor cost down
on his tractor, too much stump with not enough tractor,= blown hyd pump.
I always give him a fair deal, so i knocked a bit more off and all were pleased.
he got it in a swap, and hadn't been able to sell it, due to its size, don't know where he got it. didn't ask. didn't care. big chunk of steel . way i like em.
finally got one, been trying to get up with tha company since 13, never could get ahold of em.
9" edge,9.750 to tha scales,full.250 thick blade,Hammer butt, aggressive saw back, they say its a full 15 but i measured 14 7/8" overall,1095 HCS, Flat/Chisel/Combat ground,2"wide blade. I got to tighten up the edge a bit, they advertise em as coming with a toothy edge,that they do ,saw doesn't look to have ever been stroked. Scales are kinda thin,Green G10, but i got some carbon fiber sheet and my usual 69 barracuda green liner to widen em out, then round em down a lil bit.just a tad to flat for my liking, and sharp cornered.
sheath, is just a tad abbreviated. If ya belt loop it, its just a bit high for that long a blade,(slap yourself in tha armpit) I have a extra drop extension with a square d ring im going to add and drop it down about 6" which will work out about right.
the knife is a Grayman 9" Mega Ground Pounder going to make my own sheath for it in the future. OOOHHH YEEEAAAAA!!!:thumb::thumb:
I horsetraded straight up for another blade while i was there, I had a 4" knife I had picked up, IT was in excellent shape, scuffed up a lil from use, but while it was useable, It just wasn't for me, ,But I will post about that trade at another time.
