Scored it from Govx com on special. First time I've seen any online retailer beat GPK prices.

Put these new AWT aluminum scales on this bugout. They call this color brick red. I thought they looked good with the gray cerakote blade.

After purchasing, I went back for a screenshot to post here and it showed out of stock. Guess I got the last one.

Thanks and I hope so! Holds an edge for a long time, but then when it gets dull it might not be so easily sharpened. That's the trade-off. ::nod::

Bailout. This one originally had a blue thumbstud and a blue lanyard bail which I removed. I replaced them with some silver colored hardware.

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Here ya go bud, one just showed up from Midway USA. And you don't have to pay no $300 unless you want two of them. In fact you don't have to pay $200, or even $150. Got this in OD green for $134.99 shipped. Can't beat the price as far as I know, and it's a cool knife. Very well done. Nice half stops and snap. Fit and finish very good. I like the orange washers on the hex screws. Good contrast and accent for the OD green. Only thing I would change is maybe make the secondary short little spear a bit longer for spreading and scooping. Otherwise nice knife. Pleased with it so far. Let me know if anyone finds a lower price.

RR and Iman now that's a great knife for the backpack ::handshake::
JTX do you like the feel of the aluminum scales?
I like the feel of the original Bugout scales but they are thin ::hmm::
