Truly a beast of a knife, congrats!

The forward lanyard hole is interesting - do you know it’s purpose?
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Thanks Kenneth
Actually, Busse has that patented if not mistaken
It's for paracord I reckon to make a more secure grip.

Nah, I have enough knives.

Only thing I have coming is another Randall Model 14, this one in O1 though.

Ordered right from Randall, should be done in another year or so I think.

Once it ships out we will see.

The wait was like 5+ years when I put it in.

So 2024 sometime.

I think it's like a 6+ year wait now...

So you could order one, you have 6 years to pay for it.

Yeah man, it's INFI. They actually discontinued SR101. I was a little shocked when that happened.
But, is INFI modified A8? I've heard that it is and it isn't.
Yes it is. I can't think of another subject that has caused so many arguments, threats, venom and pure contempt as that but it remains A8(mod). I recall seeing those guys tell Larrin he didn't know anything :) .

Though there are some really great people over there I've seen them go well past reason and keep argument threads going for a week or more .

I still have an unused Busse knocking around here I got rid of the others. The piece of A8(mod) I have is .200 and is long enough for up to a 9 inch blade but I'll probably go between 6.5 and 7 inches on the blade. I have some ebony and cocobolo ready for the handle . I'll likely go with the ebony.
