USN exclusive Lady Bug Hawkbill in toxic green/TiCN

[JNewell]

Ordered one of each and the long-delayed current Mule for free shipping. :spyder:

[quickster47]

I ordered one each of the plainedge and spyderedge. Love that color and with the black blade it is truly awesome!

Thanks for the pics! That should hold me over until mine arrive. Went with the SE and I'm sure it'll be seeing quite a bit of carry time.

[remnar]

One of each on the way! :D

I almost missed it. Yesterday was a busy day and I noticed only today. I couldn't decide, which one to get and got both PE and SE. I will have a dilemma, when i will get them, which one to put on key chain.

Just picked up one of each. It is good to support both Spyderco and USN. Thanks!!

Love the LBHB love the USN (member for many years) but just see that green and black and think "zombie squad". I will stick with the yellow handled one I guess. Very cool collabo, just not my cup of tea

I think it's $150 for free shipping.

I wonder why they charge $13 for ground shipping, when you could fit pretty much any folder they sell in a $5.30 small flat rate box.

[gbelleh]

Yeah, it would be nice to have a USPS option.

Yes, it was very pricey for a package that maybe weighs 3oz.

Picked up one of each! First (2) Lady Bug's. I was a bit taken aback by the shipping charge as well.

Here is a picture I took of the serrated USN Ladybug while snowshoeing today:

^^^ Wow, GS! That would make a stunning 2016 Calendar entry!

[gbelleh]

Did you add a shadow around the blade or something?

[bearfacedkiller]

GS, it looks like the knife is sitting on top of a photo. Did you do anything to get that effect in the photo or was it just due to the brightness?

Mine is in my pocket today too. :)

Ordered a PE and an SE! Sweet little buggers :)

@GoldenSpydie

Very nice picture! I like how the blade gives like a shadow and the scale glows, I presume its motion related

[GoldenSpydie]

Thanks guys.

Good noticing about what appears to be a shadow. Here is the story:

I took two pictures from the exact same angle/location, but the first one was focused on the knife, and the second one was focused on the mountains.

The picture focused on the knife:


The picture focused on the mountains:


A little time in photoshop, and the result is both the knife and the mountains being in focus. (Knife cut out of the first picture with "magnetic lasso," slightly enlarged, and pasted into the mountain picture. (Enlarged slightly to cover up most of the blurry knife.)

The little bit of shadow/blur around the edge of the knife is the result of the blurry knife picture being taken at a slightly different angle.

Thx for the info! Very nice! It gives it a little surreal effect! :)
