Is that the Ringed Gidgee as well, Pete? Beautiful knife.

Hi Barrett, this one is the Katalox.

I think you having a stunning pair my friend.

 

[black mamba]

I really like the dark, chocolatey character of that Ringed Gidgee. Was that the same drop at the Afzelia Burl?

Hopefully someone else can answer. I got Gidge in a trade for a clip blade Albers.

 

[Heynowwww]

These are the knives that were in the Albers drop from June 2023. I hope this helps.

You can’t force a trade.

I've bought lots of things then when they arrived I didn’t like them as much as the pictures.

I much prefer trading to selling,mostly.

They are already on eBay for $550.

 

[Let'er Buck]

Might as well post some pics here as well. Eric these came out real nice. Just the kind of snakewood I was hoping to see.

Wow, what an awesome example and match!

That is shocking only bought to profit,at least keep it a week and see if you like it.

But I suspects these people aren't part of our community.

that is part of the group of the people who force trades. Again no one has a gun to any ones head forcing a trade in the sense of the words, but its people who buy these things not for what they are, but to try to trade it into something they want whether it is money or other knives. they take it away from people who actually want them for wanting them. i feel you may have misunderstood my words the other day, as many misinterpret that statement. but unfortunately, the hobby of late, has been filling up with profiteering rubbish who do not genuinely want the knives for the knife itself.

You have made me feel guilty about trading,which I have done loads of.

A knife on ebay isnt for trading (selling is not trading) its for sale and profit.

Can we talk about something else?

Sure, I’ll oblige…

I’m a terribly unskilled whittler, but having fun tools at least makes me feel cool

This lambfoot blade shape is great for getting a block of basswood down to rough shape, and boy does this handle fit my hand well! The 62 can’t be beat for the fine work though, at least not by anything in my collection.

Profiteers like this are keeping me from getting a knife I really want.

No way will I pay over 200% for a knife that is ~1 week old. I also don't want to be part of the problem encouraging 'price gouging'.

Very good,if I tried that I would put the blade through my palm...

Very nice, Pete, and thanks.

Thanks, Rick. I went back and checked Eric’s email from that drop, which also had them listed. There were some seriously good options that round.

 

[pistonsandgears]

Wow — that is just some amazing Snakewood!!!

Great pair!

Great pics of yours, and some fantastic looking snakewood!

I got this one in the mail yesterday.

Wow, what an awesome example and match!

Thanks all for the kind comments. Eric has put together some fine knives. I enjoy seeing all the variations being posted here.

The Guardians got this pic first but I figured this thread deserves a look as well - Straight-Laced Lamb.

Definitely some fall vibes in this photo, love it!

Doesn’t mean people are paying that.

 

[Will Power]

And if they do it means they'll never use the knife - kind of pitiful.

I don't have an Albers knife -apart from an Eric's Jack- but I certainly would like a burl Lamb Foot yet I would never pay 550 for it (plus shipping to the EU plus 25% import tax..) it would become meaningless - I don't believe Eric wants that for his knives either.

 

[cudgee]

I don't believe Eric wants that for his knives either.

Eric just wants a well made American knife in the hands of knife people. Not a commodity to be flipped for a quick buck. But as with a lot of things in life, there are unintended consequences and greed, something out of the makers control. But your statement is very well expressed. Just my opinion. Have a good one.
