I'll add 2 more that will make this the "completist" set. An Eric's Jack, and a Schrade Forum knife from 2005, both close relatives!

If I may correct you, Ted's BF handle is @T. Erdelyi

Well, the only year's model I've ever used is the Buck.

As to my favorite, it is the 2009 barlow. Not because it's better than any other year, but because I almost missed it. I was recovering from heart bypass surgery, and couldn't get out to mail my payment in. I barely got released to start driving, and got payment out in time.

Now, if somebody could use some photo software and put the year beside those knives, that WOULD be a Completist photo! I'm just saying....

If they're not stacked in chronological order colour me disappointed.

You’re welcome Paul. There’s one in particular in the group that might be the most classic ramshorn cover I’ve seen. Hope the guys enjoy them.

- out of curiosity, which one you suggesting, Alan....?!

The one on the bottom left. It looks very dark with the wavy ridges.

- cool, that one and the one directly above I’ve chosen as my two

That’s the one Paul. What are your overall impressions of the knife?

Was it in the written agreements with your clients that you got first two picks

- amazing knives. Such lovely walk n talk too............Mike and Viper have pulled off a blinder

Was it in the written agreements with your clients that you got first two picks

- errrr, yessir........somewhere in the small writing down the bottom I think

If I’d known that, I would have opened the box. Hahaha

Unfortunately the mail system can be more unpredictable or maybe more predictable then Mike knifeswapper since you never know what he has in store for you
Here’s my newly acquired beautiful Carmel colored Blonde perfect in every way to give ya a hold you over until yours arrives which I hope is soon and also hoping yours is a wonderful example like mine

8 days from NY to London.

17 Nov left Florida.
20 Nov arr. N.Y.
21 Nov left N.Y.
28 Nov arr. Helsinki...

Now the real wait begins Finnish Posti still not received it which means Customs are holding it, despite digi mania they still send a snail mail letter to you demanding import tax, that can take over 7 days to get here...You pay online, a rather tedious business, then Post wants the 'handling fee' more tedious online stuff. THEN it can be released to Posti and the packet can take 5 days to 3 weeks to get here... Best case scenario it arrives today Worst case just before Christmas. But all good things etc.

Being a knife enthusiast here, you need the patience of a Cat
