I read through the whole thread a while back and there was a post of when to look for them on their site. That's when I was able to see one for sale. Been watching for a while to see a Breacher or Crow that I liked and this one caught my eye. I enjoy good quality tools and don't mind dropping good coin for a veteran owned business. @polter71 nice grab(y)BTW!
@Zorrosdens thanks for the tip🤙
 
Fear causes Hesitation, Hesitation causes Fear.
Buy when you see it or forever hold your remorse.
Yep that two edge sword, not sure, wait, and GONE. Need lots of money, lol. Very happy with my small cash of HFB items...EDC basic Gulo-Gulo (wearing pants? Blade IWB Always), another Real pretty Damascus Gulo-Gulo (dressy as hell nice), pneumo spike, Dive Knife, got a cool treatment paring knife for my brother. Well satisfied for now, but I watch everyday just to see new 😉. 🤙
 
I thought I was a bit “light” in telling my count...forgot my cool (to me) basic Bleeding Heart Hatchet, posted earlier pics. Here’s some fast shots trying to “show” the blade you asked to see, cool kinda’long story to my getting it, but I love the look, totally my style. When I saw these I jumped on one. Too many pics, holds as good as it looks.

Left to right: Black Ebony, White Storm Fat Carbon Split plus White Bands, Black Micarta, Stainless Steel Mosaic Pins, Black Carbon Fiber Lanyard Hole, Black G10 Liners. Holds great in hand... right now it’s for show not use, lol 😉. It’s my “favorite child” of sorts...🤙. Gotta say every piece of his is some kinda’ “favorite”, it all feels right. 🤙

That is an awesome looking Gulo. I’m liking that knife a lot more the more I hear about it’s size. I would have bought one of the red ones that dropped on Friday, but they were a bit loud for me lol.
Understood...everybody has personals that hit where they hit, money included, color and handle texture and materials, honestly Andy really is creative and (I’d say) venturesome. He really does ALOT of thinking of possibilities regarding just looks alone I imagine. I trust what he puts forth in product also knowing background, he cares about function. He puttin’ food on the table while running a business and living life as he goes, as an individual. Even the basic knives change up/get new ideas not combined until he goes there. There are a ton of great knife makers, and I mean great, Andy & Team fills his “nitch” and covers his client base the best he knows how, especially now...tough job. The output now is more limited than before to a degree. He aims to please. Interactions with them are excellent. The stories on clients/Team members/international Teams & Operators/and not to be least “Friends” I believe are somewhat legend and stories could be shared that are cooler than cool. What the heck else....I like his work. His is really a community pretty well says it. 🤙

I didn’t quite catch that one statement, “That’s when I was able to see one for sale.” LMAO it’s not funny, yet is, not just seeing all “SOLD OUT”. HOLY SHIT, there’s actually one here to buy! I know it’s not funny but that was kinda’ hilarious. 🤙

I don't do FB or Instagram so your post was very helpful in snagging one. Nice collection you have there as well...I look forward to getting a small collection of HFB of my own!👍

Yep me either on FB & Insta...I swear, it’s you touch one of their buttons and they seem to suddenly infest your space. Just my opinion. Your post was funny reading again lol. 🤙
 
 
Small note...my EDC Gulo-Gulo, the skull crusher edges semi-sharp/not sharp...only slightly edge eased, that noted the new present Gulo-Gulo’s have some rock work there, so better still....black blade, blackish with deep burgundy undertones scales...loved this one whoever got it very sweet. 👇

That’s sic, is that a wood handle?
I think it’s a composite material, usually they say G10 or other, but not this one...red and black chaos grip, carbon fiber pins....so not sure positively. Chaos is the texture style. Not any wood grain showing, possibly even a marbled resin epoxy and then shaped. I think it is elements impervious whatever it is. Probably very durable. I love the look of whatever it is and I don’t have any “chaos” but when I first saw it awhile ago it’s one of my favorites as treatment. My 2 cents. 🤙
Edit: Looking at others on that recent group of knives seems he’s leaving “G10” off of the description and some of the others there , to my eye, are certainly G10 ...so hazarding it’s G10 😉.
