2022 GEC #59 Shaffer Farm Whittler Thread

[Jiki]

How come this one didn’t have a PPP etch??

Because it's not the premier of the pattern. It was used on the Bear lake years ago.

Thanks! Makes sense. So was the premier of this pattern as a release for Northwoods knives??

Disregard - I am not awake yet. Lol

This one just arrived today. Not sure which one I like more.

There ya go Alex.Y.

Yeah, maybe. I'll see when I get mine (if I'll have a chance, and that would be around the end of October).

Damn these are nice. Fit and finish is excellent, love the hummingbird acrylic, though it’s a tough one to photograph.

Totally agree Matt, here is my poor attempt.

 

[Angry Waiter]

Man. These are great. I need one.

Everyone posting the hummingbird makes me want to get one.

This knife is amazing!

 

[Fixall]

This is the first time I’ve ever been tempted by acrylic. Absolutely beautiful shots everyone!

I opted for the acrylic myself, which I never do. These HBA pics are just really, really beautiful. Congrats to those who scored one. Anxiously waiting to get mine in hand!

I have both and I think I actually prefer the acrylic. Which is a shock because this is the first time an acrylic grabbed my attention and normally anything in jigged bone is the winner for me.

A group shot of my 59s. Have a great day.

 

[AZCoyote]

For those that have both. How does the 59 whittler compare in whittling performance versus the 29 whittler?

Welp, it just shipped from CK. I’m not an acrylic guy but something about y’all’s pictures made me think I needed one.

Please tell me that's oil, not water, on the rightmost knives.

Ground looks wet, I'm inclined to believe it is water

Lol, a little water won't harm these robust knives! Just be sure to wipe it down afterwards and 'oil the joints'!
