I can’t believe that some of our members are so upset about all this. In the end it is just a knife, a nice one, but still, many more knives will follow from GEC. There is nothing “serious” about all this, just another day in our imperfect world where a few selfish people try and take things they don’t deserve.

I don’t like Facebook or Instagram, mainly a bunch of narcissistic jerks, but it feels like some members are really going overboard.

@gunstockjack is a great dealer and valued member, and he has spent a lot of time and effort to bring us this knife from GEC. It is flabbergasting that anyone would say anything negative about Barry or the forum mods related to this 2021 knife.

Was the process perfect? No, but that just means we can work as a community to do better next time. Maybe the most vocal of you will sit on an ad hoc vetting committee next year.

Those of you saying “this is the last forum knife” or things like that are really disappointing and with your harsh posts potentially creating the very circumstances you pretend you want to avoid.

What dealer would volunteer for this abuse next year? What have each of you done to bring something positive to the annual forum knife?

I urge you all to focus on positive change and let go of what has already passed.

Is this a Barry burner account?

$760 is outrageous. I'm sincerely hoping they'll be surprised to open the box to find a mid-tier production slip joint.

As great as it is... lets be real.

Why would you want a fellow BF member to be gouged like that?

If they paid that amount, then it was either worth it to him/her or he/she gouged himself/herself. I would still rather see as many of these knives end up in the hands of BF members who want them than others.

Anyway, the knives have all been shipped (except internationally), I'm thinking they have almost all arrived now (mine did) . . . all's well that ends well!!

Not quite. Mine is still in transit.
 
Mine showed up yesterday. What a lovely knife. I hope the process does not spoil the hard work by Charlie and others who worked hard to get us this beauty.

$760?!?

Wow.

Hopefully it was sold to a BF member who was unable to get one through the sales process here.

But let's all praise and thank Barry for his part in bringing the 2021 to those of us who were able to get one despite his complete mishandling of it all, right? Sound logic there.
