Very relieved the both of us, with this hospitals policy I couldn't even carry my new knife in as a worry stone. Glad the worry part is over for sure.

Glad it worked out! I was about to reply before I saw your update. When I was a teen, I had similar symptoms that lasted months. I was hungry but unable to eat due to the wave of nausea I would get even seeing food. I would get super sick at the most random times. I went to different hospitals and they even put a camera down my throat to look, and eventually just decided that it had something to do with my stomach acid being too strong or some halfway answer like that.

I was going to suggest that if your fiancé still experiences nausea, maybe she can try sucking on those little cinnamon hard candies- sounds stupid but for me that always took the nausea away. I lived with those stashed in my pockets for a year, and then one day it just stopped out of the blue. Glad to hear of a resolution and good luck going forward!

From not realizing until yesterday this knife was on the way for Saturday delivery, and then to have it delivered this afternoon caught me twice by surprise (very good surprise). Then I opened the package and the surprise got even better - it is a fantastic pocketknife, W&T, F&F, and color are all beyond my expectations. Barry is right, nicest ever, the bolster construction is the coolest on any knife I've owned - each piece of the knife is just right. OH

Really diggin' the red on this one. 👍👍
 
Some pretty knives, ladies and gentlemen! I was going to break my multi-year knife-buying fast for this one, but wouldn't you know, the week when the post went up was a hectic work week and I did not check in every day and missed the ordering thread. By the time I saw it (that Thursday) the knives were sold out.

No matter, I still enjoy seeing the pics of everyone's knives. Lord knows I have enough cutting tools for any need I could possibly think of.

Got an answer finally, can't understand why the other doctors missed it. Severe dehydration caused by vomiting, and the nausea was caused by "a raging bladder infection " docs exact words. Thank all of you again for the well wishes and prayers, it means allot to the both of us! Looks like after a couple bags of I.V. fluids and antibiotics in a couple hrs and we can go home🤠👍 I told her my knife coming 4 days earlier than the post office said was a good luck sign!

Those bolsters + hemlock sawcut is about as classy as we could have dreamed up. Seems I will be waiting patiently for mine, but these pics are incredible.

Those situations are always scary. I’m glad they got it figured out and I hope she’s feeling better quickly.
 
I’m really proud of what we have for this years forum knife. All-in-all, it was a lot of fun and our collective tastes made something phenomenal. We made something unique, never before seen, and it’s gorgeous.
 
Lol! We, as a forum collective, essentially picked the color!

But it is indeed a great looking knife, and I love that they all look slightly different in texture and coloring! Will look forward to seeing mine in a couple weeks!

Lol, same boat but it made it back and is out for delivery now!!!
(So it is possible for the USPS to move reasonably fast… but given the option I would have driven to GEC lol)
 
I am just learning about slip joints and just lurk at the porch. I was excited to be able to get this knife. I will be posting more at the porch though so I hope you enjoy my new posts as well.
