BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

What I can say is that the number I requested was a single digit number, and by pure luck I did place and complete my order within the first minute of the link going live.

I’m nobody special, so if I had to guess, I would say it’s by your order number that’s being processed, not by serial number requested.

I kind of doubt that unless I didnt get my number, but I was a pretty early order as well. I havent gotten tracking yet and I chose 69, but I am not sweating it. Honestly if it ships and arrives after christmas that might be easier on the usps route anyway.

I’m sure Spark has some method to the shipping process, again I personally would never want to deal with hundreds of orders to forum members. 😱

I also ordered within the first first minute or so and requested 67 so we'll see I guess. I was just curious, I'm in no rush to get mine.

How would he know what numbers to give the second, and subsequent requests for a specific number without inadvertently taking someone else's requested number?
Or say the first order requested something like 420, but they haven't shipped him that knife yet?
Not so cut and dried if you are going to get everyone the number they want, assuming they requested it first.

Yeah I’d think that he would be doing it in order by time of order received to give priority to numbers chosen. Example being, if you requested #333 on 12/05/24 and someone else requested #333 on 12/06/24 then he would prioritize the first order to give the number to. Just a guess though, I have no idea how he is doing it.

The earliest order gets the number they want. If an earlier order has taken it, then they get their second choice and so on. Later orders get what is left. That is the only fair method. If there are some he cannot fulfill yet, they get set aside until he can fulfill it.

It's messy and time consuming is all I'm saying.
Hats off to Spark Spark !!
 
Fresh out of the tube is #007.

All pictures are untouched & unedited under a cloudy day today.

Blade is sort of a satin, somewhat reflective, but not a mirror finish at all. I really like the lighter colors on mine.

Really smooth and easy pulls, beautiful click and lock up, very solid feeling, it feels strong and ready for work.

Thank you Spark Spark for all of your time and effort, it’s perfect to me ❤️👍

Outstanding. I imagine there’s a few changed hearts about this knife.

Thanks guys, I’m really proud of this one. It was luck of the draw and Sparks choosing of the build.

I know you all will be pleased once it’s in your hands, and I sure do hope you are as excited as I am too.

Thanks again Kevin, you really hit it out of the park!

I'll be the first to tell you that if I don't get the number I requested, it's not going to hurt my feelings. I sure wouldn't want to have all the windows open, matching up numbers to users, users to addresses, messages to timestamps, and so forth. My knife shows up, the number is whatever it is. Nice if I get the one I requested, not the end of the world if I don't.

But, that's just me!
