Attention 2019 Forum knife question thread.

[JohnDF]

Personally im a little worried about how the brass pins with nickel bolster will clash.

 

[urbantrapper]

Looks pretty classy!

 

[urbantrapper]

Not sure you had a choice.

I did, in voting on the pin color/material. I voted brass, having second thoughts.

Next year many club/forum knives will be a GEC Trapper. I like a brass bolster/s , brass pins , and a liner lock. I love the 2019 Blade Forums knife just like it is , yall did a great job.

Brass pins with black wood always looks great. Completely independent of bolster color.

 

[Rookie82]

It is fine either way, but if I had to choose my preference would be nickel pins all around if the handle is black. If the handle is brown bone, or wood, I think brass looks fitting.

Yes, agree. Plus, black won't show the fantastic depredations of verdigris (brass bleed) like light colours do. This includes Muslin Micarta which greens too Generally, I prefer knives to have minimal brass content, NS, stainless or all steel liners are preferable. Pins are OK, but wait for the greening....

No problem for me with brass pins and dark wood, I think it looks quite classy and I have 100 year old knives that the pins have not turned green.

Beautiful Walden, Augie! I don't have the problem of them turning green, either.

I think some people have it mixed up Mark. They don't suffer so much from green pins but rather the "green with envy" syndrome when confronted by a knife such as Augie - Augie's knife.

 

[TheFactor]

Either way is good with me

Shipping date?

It's going to be interesting to see how reactions are to that big Sabre Sheepfoot when it's finished and out of the tube, difficult to predict.

I think our blade is a Spamsfoot...no ..(huge fireball erupts as @Peregrin brings down wizard staff and blasts meako into the pit of unfathomable trepidation)..wait...RAMSFOOT!!..
.. i meannnt ramsfoooooooort...

Been reading Patrick O’Brian’s Capt. Aubrey series since we started this process. It’s pretty fantastic, if you’re looking for something to scratch your nautical itch till this knife comes in, pick it up or check out the movie Master and Commander. Till then, quick’s the word and sharp’s the action.

Then bring us about and prepare to board ! 8f you like M&C check out the Hornblower series with Ioan Gryffud as HH.....kn brilliant!

 

[SVTFreak]

Shipping date?

No clue yet. But I’m sure more than one of us are watching informed post waiting to see those labels created.

 

[tmd_87]

I'm gonna say next week completed shipping the week after....my optimistic guess.

 

[biomed]

Dang, just checked my order. Somehow (I screwed up), I opted out of the back labels.

Give 'em time... give 'em time...

How can you tell? I hope I clicked the right thing, I want a label.

 

[Snodgrass]

Hopefully we are next in line after the tortoise. But I'm guessing the stag will be next then us. Shipping often takes a couple weeks up to Canada, but I'm still optimistic that I'll get it before Christmas. At least they are making steady progress:

I'm wondering the same thing, I checked on CK and in my confirmation and it doesn't say anything about the label. I'm 99.9% sure that I opted in for one. So maybe it only says something if you did not order one.
