2008 Forum Knife Delivery Thread

Ed,

An awesome job. Thank you for all that you did to make it happen for us.

I was thinking of taking on next year's and you are going to be a tough act to follow.
 
Great job, Ed!

Can't wait...

Thanks,
Glenn
 
Thank you again, Ed. The knife looks great & now I wish I bought 2! 1 to use & 1 to set aside, but oh well.

I'm curious, how many of the 50 will use their knife?
 
Well, I did get 2 and I plan on setting aside one.
And giving the other one away to my son.

So far mine has opened several clamshells, packages of ribs for my sons birthday bbq, envelopes, I could go on, but I am guessing that you have figured out that I am going to use it.
 
LOL, that helps Ed, thank you. So, I wouldn't be nuts if I used the knife. Times aren't so bad right now, but they were a little tight back when we had to send the $ in or I would've bought 2. Oh well...
 
Mine will probably replace my 8OT at least for a while.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this Ed. :thumbup:
 
Got my two in today, wow. They did a great job, it was hard deciding which to keep and which one to give away. My son got the earlier number after I chose for the appearance of the scales. Mine really match up from side to side.

Thanks Ed for all your hard work, Let us know if and when you hear from Sean.

Anxiously waiting in the Great White North.

Ed - it's been said, but can't be said enough - THANKS!!!

This will be a great addition to my collection and you, Sir, will get many Karma Points and Well Wishes for a while to come.

Cheers and Happy New Years!!!
 
I got mine today. I think we chose well guys & gals. Great little knife! Thanks for all your hard work Ed!

I have to add: I love the arrowhead shield!

Mine came today. Sweet. Nice F & F, nice W & T.

It’s smaller than I expected. I may reserve this for formal occasions when small in the pocket matters more.

Thanks, Ed!

For that matter; thanks Northwoods!
 
Got mine New Year's Eve, great knife, my only criticism was that the very tip of all three blades were blue, kinda like they were rushed in the finishing and burned the tip while puttin' the edge on.

Also the edge was dull, (just a wire edge) not a problem as this is a user and I already put my own edge on it anyway.

F&F were out standing, grind lines were excellent, the scales matched beautiful, love the shield.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a solid 8, with the new edge a 9.

Thanks for a great job Ed, this'll become my new pocket pal for now, I like the feelin' of it in my hand.

I'll post a pic in a new thread.
 
Mine was in the mial box when we got home this afternoon. Looks great, it will be seeing some pocket time for awhile. Thanks!
 
Already posted in the picture thread but I got #34 the other day. I'm still holding off till I find out if anyone wants to swap with me for one with the thinner flatter handle material before I mess with it, but if I end up keeping this one there are several things to be fixed before it'll get carried, but carried it will get. I like to carry a small traddy for the little stuff and sheeple friendliness all the time. Like T. Erdelyi posted, all three blades are a tiny bit overheated at the tips. Also the main blade is a little unevenly ground, almost like a recurve, it's slight but it puts more belly towards the tip than I like, so I'll take that down a little thinner towards the tip to make it match the blade up by the tang better. And the last thing that bothers me is 2 of the tips are above the handle material when closed (my Canittler had the same problem last year, I guess I'm just unlucky) The main blade is raised about I dunno, 3/4 to 1 mm above the scales, just enough to catch the pocket. And the warny, which is hidden when closed anyway, but makes the knife taller in the pocket, the warny is a good 1.5 to 2 mm, to high. Just odd, easy to fix and all, but just odd. Luckily all easy stuff to fix, and some of it is personal taste, like the height of the warny, so like I said I'm holding off till I see if anyone has a thinner handle and wants the little bit more bulged material.
