I have been waiting SOOO long for my Super Avenger to get back from service, and my B4B to get back from warranty service that I felt, for the decency of my wrist, it could no longer go naked.
I have wanted one of these for a bit. Got it today. Thanks George at Govberg. Again.

Which is overhere also the case.

Thanks Roff. I know you are not a big fan, at all, of the Blacksteel models. I also know the Blacksteel thing is overplayed given the many models done that way and therefore they are hardly "limited". But I very much liked the look of this one and needed a new beater that will absorb the punishment I dole out at work daily without sleeves. I have already knocked into 3 or 4 door frames and scraped it along a metal bedframe at work. Still looks flawless. Guess their really is something to this PVD coating!! :lingsrock:

Thx Justin, me too. That (plus the lack of big white arabic numerals) sold me on this Blacksteel versus the others.

Just wish the Avenger had an applied logo. Something about that stenciled version make me ask why?
