    I checked other. I can't spare the cash right now. If another run is made at some point in the future I may be interested.

    I think I am in for 1-551 and 1-556 preferably tan w/black blades. One is a gift, that is why I say "I think" I am trying to figure out what the gif-tee already has. Either way, I am in for two.

    Moving this to the Group Buy section might bring some traffic which might not frequent the Edged Weapon section or use the new posts function... Or at least a post (and in the Water Cooler) there pointing here... just an idea.

    I'm in. Not sure which size but I'm digging the tan grip black blade.

    Thanks for taking this on NicZack! Dunno how you did it, but those prices are even cheaper than I paid for my current Mini-Barrage! I'm in for a full sized Griptillian. OD Green scales w/a black blade preferred.

    Based on how fast the responses are adding up, I dare say this is going to work! :D

    I may not have said this well in my first post and want to note...color/configuration will have to be consistent in order to get these prices...if we start doing multiple configurations, the price will go up and the entire project will be much more difficult (actually, it would be a logistical nightmare.) These prices are significantly under retail and so the markup on them is quite low. By doing them in consistent bulk, we are saving a lot of money (these are $100+ knives in stores!!!)

    We can likely do a variation between large and small though, perhaps do the Minis in black and the Full Sizes in dark green or tan, or vice versa, but all Minis and all Full Sizes would have to be the same color and blade configuration for the stated prices.

    Blade-wise, I would suggest we do satin on both regardless of color. That saves like $10 a knife as black-bladed Benchmades are generally $10-20 more than their satin counters.

    As many people noted price was important in the first thread, staying with a satin blade and a single color handle ensures the best prices.




    I'd be game for a full sized OD grip black blade. Or whatever. Any chance to get the MDS shield on the blade?

    I figure the final vote before actually doing the ordering would be on the engraving.




    Moving this to the Group Buy section might bring some traffic which might not frequent the Edged Weapon section or use the new posts function... Or at least a post (and in the Water Cooler) there pointing here... just an idea.

    I will make threads there provided it is OK with the Mods here...good idea! :D

    I'm in for the large; tan with black blade sounds like a nice combo; if that turns out to be a problem for folks pricewise, satin/black works for me as well.
