BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

[meako]

One of the smartest things you have ever done.

Yes but not much to compete with.

Got to keep Australia Post in business eh ?

I Always go for USPS and Aus Post rather than dhl or startrack etc....those idiots lost or pinched one of my deliveries...I don't recommend ....the problem I identified is at this end. The drivers down here and the Sydney guy are illiterate and have no access to a map. Pathetic.

I will go without rather than use either of them. Unfortunately a US forwarding company i used to use uses both of them.

I don't know if my bladeforums membership and interactions qualify me to purchase a forum knife. Are any still available?

I don't think you will be disappointed! It's one of my favorite premium 4+ inch stockman. Very well built!!

Edited to keep this party polite.

It won't be my first GEC but it may be my last, simply as they are too hard to come by now a days, at least for me. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Stockman pattern in either middle size or large.

Angelus leather dye colour Tan..2 coats..very easy to apply...I love the result...darkened the pasty white bits with a nice golden hue....I mostly like that its kept the colour difference at the bolsters .
Cheers.

Might be one of my favorite dye jobs so far! Reminds me of butterscotch

With the leather dye, it's just clean then wipe on wipe off? I keep researching all of this but never pulling the trigger. Maybe yours has finally convinced me

Looks great Meako. Does the dye rub off at all on your hands after it has cured into the bone? I wasn't sure if a clear coating overtop was necessary or not.
