2022 GEC Bayou Trapper #88 Thread

[Leslie Tomville]

Well this explains why the “What’s Happening” page has been silent! I found this photo of the Oregon club knife online. (Sorry Buckeye Sharp ) Great looking knife, BUT, I sure hope to see this in Green Jigged Bone with a huge honking Alligator shield!

I found the photograph online. It’s not mine.

Yes, they had 2 club knives to weave into the schedule. Both small runs and are done now. The first bone gators will be launched next week.

Any thoughts on doing an 88 for the forum knife this year?

wrong thread

The chances of a Forum Knife this year may be at the lowest point ever in the history of Forum Knives. Last year's problems and complaints seem to sour a lot of the guys who make them happen. I could be wrong, though.

Two things.

1. The 88 run is done. These things take time and planning.

2. This,

Exponentially with a GEC.

Thanks for the context. Didn’t realize that.

For what it’s worth, the forum knife this year was awesome!

If I can be of any help, I’d be happy to. I’ve helped organize quite a few open source community software conferences in the past.

@Boru13 @knarfeng Thanks for the lock! Best to avoid the subject right now. There are going to have to be some discussions behind the scenes to determine what, if anything can happen. It certainly won't be a repeat of last year. As I tell my wife "I'm to old for this.....".

I've got my Ironwood on the way. I'll post some pictures of it when it comes in.

I got a store model Yeti on the way. Mods to come.

Thanks Modoc ED for sharing that. I missed all this.

Well dang, Leslie Tomville beat me to the punch on posting my 88 Beavertail, but I much prefer this one as we’ve got more Beavers than gators in Ohio

That jigged bone looks really good. Any sharp edges on it?

 

[Buckeye Sharp]

JTB_5 No, at least none that seemed to snag the cloth when I wiped it down.

 

[stagmeister]

I got my ironwood tonight. Everything is just right and the figure in the wood is insane on this one. I'll try to get pics tomorrow.

I'll try to get pics tomorrow.

Wait-ing...

I have resisted this pattern so far, but seeing all the feedback and pictures, specially on the ironwood and micarta has made me want one. I might just wait and see how the jigged version turns out. anyone knows what colour they chose for jigged bone northfield?

Most are pointing to green with a gator shield.
