BF2020 Viper Swayback Discuss Thread

WooHoooo woooo wooooahhhooooooo!!!
Woop woop woop...w hoooooo!
My air bnb guests tell me a parvel ftom the USA arrivef to day....could it be? ....I reckon it might....take note @eisman and @freezergeezer ..

 

- another way to do a lanyard, nice n easy Ti tips from lionSTEEL

 

My suspicions are confirmed...
The 2 knives ...one for yours truly and one for some Quensland bloke called freezergeezer...have arrived safely courtesy of the most generous fellow of the porch Eisman...Cheers Kevin ....but wait ...I know you want more mine came with a choice belt pouch and small UH Schrade stockman...Thank you Kevin..
Matt I will forwstd your knife and pouch next week...after the postmen get back.
Cheers

And oh the Scales...for 10 long years I voted ,polled,pestered and harangued for Rams Horn scales and finally my relentless campaigning has born fruit...not just some boring old paddock plodder...NO! As soon as I handled the 2020 I became a Mighty Mouflon ..scampering from peak to peak of the snow capped Italian Alps...my magnificent horns butting away snow leopards and hunters as if they were mere gnats...my huge bellowing roar causing avalanches....on other mtn ranges....In short hugely regal and superb.
What a bonza xmas present.
Cheers.

 

Well......it happend today. My forum knife took a ride through the washer and dryer! Luckily its stainless and ti! No damage at all. I heard the thunk...thunk...thunk..... in the dryer and just had a feeling that i should check. Luckily it only spent a minute or two in the dryer. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

 

....well, at least you'll be able to make a clean cut

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

 

Cut that pretty close Jon. Glad they got there safe. Merry Christmas to you!

 

Haopens every year Kevin...Thanks for all you did to make it possible. Stay Safe Bro.

 

@meako You got a great one Jon I'm sure you're going to really like this knife, it's all about quality

Enjoy the Christmas mate, at least you have decent weather for house-arrest in the garden

Regards, Will

 

Well, Ms. Clause finally released this to me on the 25th. Like many have already commented - very well made knife. I like the mark side especially well on this one. Would have blown my socks off if the pile side matched. Very happy to have this one in the collection - mainly for what it represents. Glad that 2020 didn’t knock the forum knife off the rails!

 

I think Ive got the opposite twin here....

 

Now that’s funny.

 

@freezergeezer Matt I posted yours from Sutherland ,Sydney this morning....looks like it will be 2021 before it gets there......so first one to be delivered for the new year.

I pm'd you but not sure if it went through...
Cheers.

 

- agreed and well said, particularly that the vast majority of us are happy and received prior to Christmas - well done Viper and Mike.

I bought 10 and distributed to other guys here in UK - there were a few moans about the differences in scales from one to the other as well........considering the nature of Rams Horn and the production levels that had to be sustained, they’ve done a great job. Dealing with a natural product that can be as darned pernickety as Rams Horn - it’s not easy for sure.

For myself, having a very precisely man-made metal thing with clothes on of an organic nature is perfect - great Yin/Yan

 

Yes, the precision and quality of these knives show much to be impressed by. Mine's been cutting all manner of stuff with no hesitancy at all. Plus you have these quirky beautiful natural scales on board and it's no deadweight in the pocket

 

I cut my wrapping paper with mine. Like a magic wand.

 

Thanks so much to Santa (and Mike)! One of few bright spots in this year and very much appreciated.

This knife is my surprise hit of the year with beautiful covers and wonderful fit and finish.

Going to check out more CK Vipers for sure!

 

Can not seem to send Matt @freezergeezer a msg...Did it get there??

 

He hasn't logged in since September.
