The Risner SFO’s are sold out. It took about 1 hour and 48 minutes. I am curious to know how many total were made. They look great. The pictures seem to show them as a darker red which I think looks good. And that spear shield is awesome.

Oh man that’s awesome I’m glad we were able to get our paws on one lol .
Almost got greedy and bought 2 but really glad I didn’t since they sold out so fast and hopefully more from our BF family we’re able to get one also :thumbsup:

Just arrived today...sweeeeet! Beautiful blade with long pull and no etch. I like the thinner feel of this single blade model.
If they really are putting together a Northwoods Barlow on this frame, it will be a killer knife!

This picture convinced me to order my 4th 78. This is my preferred style, with Northfield trim but satin blade with no etch. Will probably sell one or two of the others.
 
I thought about ordering two as well and thought it would be more polite to wait until a day had passed to be sure everyone had a shot at buying one that wanted one. Sounds like that was the right call. Looking forward to seeing this one in hand. So far I think I like the cocobolo and ebony variant the best.

This pattern could quite possibly develop a cult like following. Will it be as big as the #15/TC Barlows? Doubtful, but it could jump towards the top of the charts I think.

Time will tell:thumbsup:, I will have to say that this one is an instant classic.

^^^ Oooh now that's nice - I actually missed out on the early reserve for that one and am actively looking for someone willing to sell an extra they may have.
 
Though I still haven't really warmed up to micarta on the more traditional patterns, the CK SFO did turn out very nice, I think the shield choice was most excellent and really sets off the pattern. If used, that micarta will darken nicely.

I am enjoying this example in the white bone and can't wait for the ebony to be finished.

I think you’ll be very pleased with it. Carrying mine today. I also like the plain blade on a Northfield model.
 
My ebony two blade arrived today. So far I have two single blades, one in Elderberry and the other Smooth Bone. Will carry the two blade and then compare to the single blade versions. I REALLY like the singles so we'll see:thumbsup:

I just noticed the "K" on Mikes leather slip is different than my previous ones. I see the arm of the "K" is a knife:cool::thumbsup:

That’s pretty cool I like it !!:thumbsup:
Was that a included slip “freebee or did you buy it separately ?
 
Looks like the Red linen micarta SFO shipped and my dark brown jigged bone is also on the way :thumbsup:
Now just waiting for shipping confirmation on the Peech Seed SFO .
