I want one of each.. these look amazing! How does one get these? Do they sell out instantly?

Edit. I checked out some vendors and signed up for notifications. My expectations are set to "low".

Sometimes they get sold out before instantly

Sometimes they get sold out before instantly

Yes, they defy Physics.

Beautiful! Is that a micarta version? Looks pretty much like wood.

Yes, it's the new burlap version. I can't leave well enough alone so I took some sandpaper to it. Burlap looks wayyyyyy better polished in my opinion.

Burlap looks wayyyyyy better polished in my opinion.

True! Yours looks like a snakewood now, very cool.

 

[CuzDoug85]

For an all around user, the 72 is pound for pound the best traditional knife to carry.

I have heard it said many times about the #74 which is the same length but not a lockback. I like the lockback feature much more. Wish they would have an Ebony this round.

I have been a little jelly of you guys showing off your burlap and sienna 72’s, but I have a Che Chen 72 coming and I am thinking I lucked out!

I think you did too, that Rosewood looks exceptional. I'm hoping I won't regret the NF jigged bone.

These are from the 2016 run . The purple one is 1 of the 15 Satins made . I actually was able to get 3 different ones spread over some amount of time because 2 of my family members liked the first one and then the second one so I gifted the first 2 to them at Christmas . The Stag one is what I wish we could be able to buy again . Now I am just hoping to get a Northfield Jigged Bone version .

Has anyone heard what color the jigged bone is going to be?

Those are both outstanding. I love the purple.

 

[Chocula]

These look so nice! Little treasures

 

[black mamba]

Amazing stag, Harry!

 

[marcus52AR]

Tried and failed to snag.. I'm not sure why I even made the effort.

Here are my two from this run. (I’m going for anything else, unless the Northfield jigged bone turns out to be something amazing). Definitely an improved lockup compared to my 2016, which wasn’t bad, but had a bit of play, and no sign of blade rap, which my 2016 suffered from. (I still have a piece of leather down in the blade well so I don’t have to worry about letting it snap closed.) I really like the texture and character of the Burnt Sienna Natural Bone.

Here they are with my 2016 in Grizzly Cut Bone, which has been a favorite of mine. Now I just need to choose a good lanyard for these two, sharpen one or both of them up and pick one to drop in my pocket first.
