1st Brock on the way!

**LostHighway** · 02-05-2009, 04:51 PM

I just scored one of Brock's Combat Options Recurve knife's from another JD member on this forum. It looks like a beauty and I've heard nothing but good things about these blades. The warranty sounds as good as Strider's and Busse's so I think I can't go wrong. Man, there have been some killer deals out there lately and I've been itching for a Brock for awhile.

Hey Brock, is it true you only made four of these blades?

Yessir, that's true

and there were some slight differences in grinding them. Some had a deep hollow grind and some were a little more shallow grind

then there was the Slinger, which is basically a Combat Options recurve with a slightly longer blade and a Street Warrior swedge on it

congrats, you got a good deal on that knife

Do you remember if the swedge is sharp or not on this one?

That was a sweet score man! If I was not stuck at work, it would have been mine...

But I got the Slinger...I'll just have to be happy with that for now...

no, the one you bought doesn't even have a swedge

Oh yeah...I just pulled my head out of my ass and looked at the picture, again. I must have had a brain fart. My mind must have wondered due to the MANY knife laws this great state has; one of which is NO sharpened swedges. Thanks for the understanding

ITS HERE!!!

Big thanks to ALH for the great deal and to Brock for making this wicked blade. The condition of the knife is better than I thought and the f&f is superb. Too bad I plan on using the hell out of this one:-p

**Andy'sLeatherHouse** · 02-09-2009, 06:03 PM

hahahah...always wanted to use that one

**LostHighway** · 02-09-2009, 06:15 PM

As you wish.

Get a good look at her 'cause this is the last time she'll be this pretty.

Nice Brock. Like the Perrin also.

Yep, get her dirty, that is what she is for.... The only reason mine is still clean is that I'm still deciding how to carry mine...

I like'em all for different reasons. The Brock is definately on the same quality and craftmanship level as these other knives. What the picture can't show is what a beast this knife is in-hand. It feels like it can pry open a car door. I got it mic'd @ .18".
