Yes..... what was that shield called... the squished hotdog?

 

[GE Jr]

Photo shows a catch bit. Do these blades look like they're maybe ground to fit w/o krinking? Grind looks a bit stepped away from the tang to me. Hard to tell for sure though.

 

[Will Power]

Well, yes the shield is good

400 of these is a big dollop, but are we sure there'll be 400 in Stag too? that's a massive antler run and unparalleled I suspect?

 

[Will Power]

Yeah, I feel the same way. I was going to grab a 62 in the red jiged bone but wanted to wait to see what these 33's looked like.
Now, though I think I'm just going to tone down my knife buying for a bit.
But if I end up with a 6 pack in and browsing the knife dealers it will be a 62 in red for me, not the 33. (I only have the PC in cocobolo)

Surely you don't need a 6 pack to sway your resolve if you see this?

Mind you, a drink adds to the thrill

Yes I was told there will be 400 of each

Might chance Stag then Be my first with no shield....

A gimp shield

That shield is most excellent! I'm already down for one of each.

Damn shame they are using a pen secondary instead of a coping blade.

 

[hornetguy]

I'm going to have to watch the dealers' drops, and the exchange, I imagine. I would really like to have a jigged bone version.... and it wouldn't break my heart to find a stag one, as well. Fingers crossed....

Agreed - that shield works perfectly with the pattern!

Also agreed on pen vs. coping secondary.

Lol, true, but you wouldn't believe how many knives I bought after midnight with a little ethanol encouragement.

I’m really hoping these are built as well as the last run of 62’s. And if the catch bit helps prevent blade run then that’s good too. My 62 in camel bone is perfect! And I love the square shield. So now I need a jigged bone 33.

 

[Spencergarden]

Nice lookin knife, but neither of these cover materials appeal to me, so I'm sitting this one out.

 

[NewBlades16]

That’s a bummer.

Why? That is a sizable run!

 

[Pàdruig]

I do like the new shield...

 

[GE Jr]

Some folks may be tired of the color, or the jigging style being used a lot. On this pattern with this shield, it just works - to my eyes, anyway. And that clip blade!

 

[BDubbs]

Why? That is a sizable run!

Definitely more than last time but demand is also way up.

 

[rishma]

Oh man! I’ve been away a while, love this pattern and super excited.

 

[BDubbs]

I have no idea how the production lines work, does anyone know if they are cranking out the 33 stags and 35s at the same time or is it sequential?

 

[JTB_5]

I like the looks of the 33, but it is a little small for my tastes. But it is a perfect little gents folder. I hope the folks here who want one are able to score one.
