Right? Fellow Canuck here, I figured that we'd be last on the list ... again :) I basically had gave up hope of getting it before Christmas. Shipping from individuals can take upwards for three weeks(stupid border). But I've been getting packages from KSF and DLT in around one week. Hopefully we are looking at that kind of time frame. Regardless, I'm getting one without having to fight in a 'drop', so I'm a happy camper :)

I missed where this was referred to as a sailors knife? If that official or something you guys have deemed it?

I'm so excited to get this awesome spam folder in my hands. I can't help it, that name has stuck for me.

I'm betting there are or will be more than a few people who are going to regret that they missed their payment deadline and lost out. I'm so glad so many stepped up to remedy the orphaned orders fustercluck and I hope it gives reassurance to any poor soul who hopefully decides to take a starring role in the 2020 Bladeforums knife. (Please let there be one!!)

I know there is a lot of uncompensated time and work involved in organizing, creating, ordering and getting forum knives out, and I truly appreciate and am grateful to everyone involved who gave up their time and sometimes their sanity for the 2019 Bladeforums knife. This knife is GORGEOUS!

I can't wait to see the Spam carving thread open up once these beauties have made it to their homes.

Not that it matters a whole lot but in the interest of pocket knife accuracy I don't consider it a Navy, Sailors or rope knife. the blade profile is not correct for any of those. To me it's just a large sheepsfoot jack, a very nice one at that and one I'm glad I ordered 2 of.

Perhaps people are equating a clasp knife to a sailors knife? Military issue claps knives quite often have a large sheepfoot blade like this one...

Regardless, it looks like another excellent forum knife this year!!! Tip of the hat to Mike and others that have steered this ship. (See, sailors knife!)

Oh brudda.

Anyhoo in the intrests of naval maritime historical accuracy...and making things sound more seafaring than they are...I hereby name this ship err i mean knife The Splicer....(spam slicer)...
 
Thanks for the update @knifeswapper mike! You also answered a question i had as to where they would be shipping to us from. From you!
Warning to all. I’ve had a few things shipped via USPS lately. They are intermittently slow and also their tracking is all whacked out currently.
