Been seriously thinking about ordering a decent number (24-26 pieces) of this knife for early completion project awards, but would need guaranteed delivery by October 22. Any chance of meeting that schedule???
 
I noticed that people have been trying to contact Spark via his profile & emails about the BF Skyline. Has there anything been said? It would be nice to be notified on whats going on.
 
Knowing that Spark is the owner of bladeforums, he is probably at the highest peak of some remote mountain (where he has been this whole time), just meditating for the perfect moment to come down and notify us that the knives are on their way.

:thumbup:
 
I'm thinking the guy with the parrot on his shoulders should give us an update. Hey, maybe we should ask the parrot? :rolleyes:
 
well, you are comparing a $30 knife with a $300 knife.....


BTW, is there any news about the forum skyline, it's been...... quite a while .....

Ahhh yes, thats right, thanks! KVT on this Skyline please :). Assuming they haven't started production of course.

P.S. I have a 560 as well(the TNP screen reviewed one: : http://www.ebay.com/itm/TNP-Zero-Tolerance-0560-Hinderer-2897-/120969891433, ... craftyhack is me indeed, and yes I have bought about 75 knives in the last couple of months, I heart eBay, I even got a bunch of knife display cases :D). Yes, I know I paid too much for the 560, but I collect TNP knives and lets just leave it at that. This linked 560 isn't my first, the other 560 new was $240 from eBay. The 560 DEFINITELY opens well, but the Tilt feels smoother to me, and I mean a whole new level of smooth. Maybe the person who owned if before me oiled it or something...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention on the Tilt, light as all get out. I haven't ever see such aggressive skeletonizing on a knife before, and I have a couple of hundred, many with Ti, SS, Al, etc. Even the underside of the lock bar (CR style lock bar) is milled out! Sure a bunch of them are skeletonized and for their size they are reasonably light, but this Tilt was a COMPLETE surprise on how light it was when I picked it up. When I looked inside to check out the skeletonizing... well... never seen anything like it!

Why would you even suggest that? Do you realize what the increase in cost would be like? Not to mention the time it would take to redesign the knife to accept such an addition? People had a hard enough time spending the $90 on a knife they claimed would "always be a $35 knife" regardless of the steel. Seriously. You're a bit too late for the party to make suggestions like that.
