Attention 2019 Forum knife question thread.

[Prester John]

And all of them good Vince.

I think the only ones I wouldn't eat are the Lite, the low sodium, and the Teriyaki. All the others sound good!

 

[FSU1992]

Mine are here and I am happy. Great design! Thanks to all that were involved.
Crappy light in the photo but it is what is what I had.

 

[ddavis]

Here's a big shout out to all that made this happen,

Smart to cover up the “low sodium” banner with the blade. As I learned, I think the porch likes their salt. Hahaha!

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Ooh, I forgot, pins/buttons too, knice!!!!

....Mine’s “Out for Delivery,” with an oddly specific “Expected Delivery Between” time of 12:00pm to 1:00pm. Well it’s 12:54 and no sign of the mailman yet…

It's fun. You feel like a kid again waiting for the mail. I received mine yesterday and wasn't "expecting" it until today. I checked the tracking only to discover that it was in my mail box. Go figure!

 

[Jiki]

Mine landed today, put it under the tree going to open it Wednesday.

NB
just wanted to clear up ...i did the back label but have nothing to do with the front label...great though it is...who designed it I wonder.
Also I once heard or read somewhere that this guy ate a whole load of salt and nearly rancid leftover ham and actyally made his own spam...

 

[marcus52AR]

I was thinking it might show up today after work, but it wasn't there. I finally caved and checked the tracking information. It's scheduled to arrive "by end of day" on the eve of Christmas.

Fingers crossed, these pictures and stellar reviews are making me anxious to receive mine.

I'll admit I've tried spam but open a can of Alpo wet dog food and it smells like spam or vise versa.

Thank you that’s what I thought and what it looked like. Now I know what I’m not missing lol

 

[TheFactor]

My twins have arrived and I’m sitting here having a cold beverage after a 12 hour day at work anticipating the grand opening of the box as I gaze at it pondering the joy to come.

 

[TheFactor]

The time has come for the grand opening of the twins
First of all as the norm @knifeswapper has the first class second to none packaging.
His 2019 Gec Blade forum knife did not disappoint and exceeded my expectations. As many have mentioned both are flush at the half stop and when opened and closed, centered blades. Walk and talk is beautiful and did I mention black as the Ace of Spades! I love the snap and both have the perfect pull. One has a high 5 to 6 pull and the other I’d say right at 5 both on the sweet spot. Stunning knives and the tube is beautiful along with Meako’s heart warming Traditional And life Inspiring note on the back of the tube.
Thank you ,Thank you to all and everyone’s hard work including Frank and Gary keeping everything moving and organizing keeping all the ducks in a Row.
Thank you Mike and Gec for giving all of us on the porch and members a like the opportunity to own this stunningly beautiful knife.

Mine came in yesterday (a day before tracking said it would). Into my pocket and off to work with it this morning. Really a great knife.

Infidel!

No, keeper of the True Faith Taste Previous comments about wet dog-food seemed apt I've had a lot of exp with cats all my life, once or twice had to look after a dog and every time I have to open wet canned pet foods I start retching My Cat Princess gets raw meat, fish, bones, cat biscuits and lactose free milk. Spam is on the last food item left before Mass Extinction list

These latest Forum Knives look very original and have a strong identity, rather regret not getting one but my doubts about Sabre grind got in the way. Looking forward to more pix and maybe some other action cutting pics than dicing solidified canned horror You don't need a knife for handling that stuff, just a peg on the nose

 

[Henry Beige]

All you guys who disdain to eat Spam are probably the same kind who would turn up their noses at lutefisk.

 

[Old Hunter]

They probably did ride a ways together, mine was sent to Lagrange NC from Fayetteville. Got home about 15 minutes ago,and mine was in the mailbox waiting Instantly became my favorite knife and aint even cut anything with it lol. Of course its as about perfect as man can make something, even though I did tweak the edge a bit already. I'm not a fan of polished edges,I like a bit more aggressive bite to mine. Few passes on a fine diamond hone the a couple on a ceramic rod and its just right. Pics tomorrow as my phone takes horrible indoor pics.

Good thing your pocketknife wasn't actually traveling with mine; somewhere between Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune my knife when AWOL! 36 hours to make a 2-1/2 hour drive was too much for the old USPS during this busy season. They finally updated their tracker, seems it's enroute and will show up eventually! Maybe by Christmas (just hoping they don't lose it). OH

Isn’t that soaked in lye and resembles gelatin? Sounds great!

Gefilte fish wannabe

 

[joeradza]

Mine has not arrived yet nor have I received a shipping notice because I was on the tail end of the payment line. All in all that is perfect timing. We originally thought we’d receive these early in the fourth quarter. Then when the impending excitement started someone thought I made a snide comment about Mike’s shipping time. Now that mine looks like it will arrive during Chanukah and a day or two after Christmas or possibly Christmas Eve all I can say is “This is the most wonderful time of the year!!”
Thank you to everyone involved. Mike @knifeswapper, Gary @Peregrin, Frank knarfeng , Kevin @Spark all my fellow porch dwellers and to meako for leading us from the darkness. Let’s not forget Darren @waverave for his artistic talents.

 

[pjsjr]

Mine arrived yesterday and after close inspection and much 'coon fingering', I agree with everyone else here, these are just wonderful, and again thank all of those involved with bringing this edition to us this year.

Still anxiously waiting for my shiping notice...
