OK, so the camo badge appears to be a relic from when such scales were much less common than they are now. I consider this mystery solved to my satisfaction.  :cheers:

I’m an old man and just enjoy talking about knives, SAKs in particular but I have no need for badges.

Same here, except for the old man bit (which is relative anyway!). SAKs are just one of my interests. I don't feel any less involved with the forum by not collecting badges or taking part in challenges. I'd never have time for the latter anyway!

Thanks for passing this on, much appreciated. :tu:

 :cheers: Glad to help. Spotting differences on smurfy auction pics is hard enough as it is. Rare-ish things are always easier to get when you know what to look for.  :tu:

Personally I don’t see the preoccupation with being awarded “badges”. I’m an old man and just enjoy talking about knives, SAKs in particular but I have no need for badges.

They ought to award you a badge for not needing badges. There ought to be a badge for that.  :dunno:
