Agreed! My first thought was I hope Barrett didn't drink all that wine just for the photo

I wouldn't mind helping him out, no question Corks make a grand back-drop for any knife but this one is obviously very apt.

ea42 I think Primble has a solid idea there on the slabs. Another alternative could be Ivory Bone which looks satisfyingly Old School too. Will there be a shield on this knife? Hope not for this Lambfoot pattern.

As for fair distribution, just impossible given tech problems, huge demand etc. On the other hand, perhaps they should be offered to Old Sweats and Veteran members with 10 yr plus time-serving Yeah, that could rule...

Thanks, Will

Will, I definitely won't be putting shields in those knives.

Distribution is always a problem, maybe anyone with more than 27,000 posts gets first dibs?

ea42 Eric, the major distribution problem would be resolved by giving first dibs to those with 6041-6055 posts...
...just a thought.

I think people named "Mike" should get first dibs

I better hurry up and make 5,000 more posts.

 

[bigfish64]

Since you used to make Red Trout, how about those of us with “fish” in our name, getting first shot?

Distribute them as you see fit..."let them eat cake" In 15 years there will be plenty given the secondary market . Like the old lady on the bus just say "Thank the lord, I'm blessed"

Time to start commenting “Nice knife!” in every thread on the Porch…

In my case, legally changing my name to "Mike" would take far less time than finding 26,700 knives to compliment. But I like to keep all options open so let me just say again-- that pic you posted of the cork oak with all the wine corks was simply wonderful sir!

That's always been my style, Barrett!
(Except I'm too innumerate to realize that making my posts contain 25-30 multiquotes doesn't maximally help my post count. )

Just change up your style to one post for every quote and you’ll be there in no time.

I think priority should be given to people foolish enough to stick a beautiful knife in a piece of venison on a grill

 

[JohnDF]

That only counts if it's a Carbon Steel blade.

And if not, we're all coming around to your place for a BBQ anyway.

I’d like to give a big shout out to Jake Dudley for reaching out to me and letting me purchase this beauty for cost, it’s so cool that there’s still folks here on the porch who will share their good fortune within the community. Thanks again Jake!
