BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

Question - is anyone else waiting for a tracking number that pre-ordered on or around August 31st??

I have not received a tracking number yet in PayPal. I did not ask for a specific serial number. I haven’t bothered Spark, but I’m getting nervous.
I ordered at 2:30pm on the 29th and just got my tracking number yesterday, I wouldn't start freaking out yet.

I ordered on the 29th and just got my shipping confirmation yesterday. Unfortunately Spark can't clone himself. Although that probably wouldn't help as the 2 Sparks would start a fire.
 
Aww,,, everyone relax. I'm a relative child around here, but I don't remember ever reading of anyone not getting a knife he paid for. Once the knives are in hand it always takes weeks to get them all out. The Holidays always slow things down for everyone. Spark's probably shipping thirty plus knives a day, running a business, keeping the lights on, and doing the zillions of things we all do to keep friends and family on speaking terms with us.
 
I ordered on the 31st and am still waiting. I think people that ordered on the 29th are getting their tracking info. Not time to get nervous yet. It takes awhile for a single person to ship all those knives, and offering number choices slows things down. Then, you have a few holidays thrown in the mix.
 
"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, 'O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chulapas. And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20


Funny. I don't get what it is in reference to. But it made me laugh.

Laughter is always a good way to start the new year : )
 
I’m just going to throw down some more pictures for everyone who hasn’t gotten theirs yet. 😇You’ll be happy when it arrives. The main blade is firm with a great snap. The secondary blades are proportionately lighter. It’s perfect.

Bummer for me, I ordered on 8/29/24 and requested either # 42, 62, or 69 which are numbers of other years that I own;and I'm afraid I wont get any of them...

I have had a tracking number for a few days that hasn't shown movement, and up until now thought I still had a chance to "Don't PANIC" #42
 
So looking forward to getting mine. No tracking number yet, but it certainly is exciting to know I have a GEC out there somewhere coming to me eventually. Lol. I love seeing all the pics.

The Franks Dynamite knife I grabbed made me even more excited about a stockman on this pig of a frame. But the jigging on this stockman just does it for me. Really unique. I bet the scales will wear nicely over time.
 
Serial numbers like 007, 42, 420, 69, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 88, 13, 223, 556, etc are snapped up very quickly. One person requested 6 different serial numbers and the first 4 were taken. Basically if you want a specific low number? You have to get it in quick. Anyhow I'm hopefully going to be done shipping in the next couple days.

Should have had that for the Bunny Knife..😁

So this guy has lunch on the park bench everyday.
One day a beautiful woman is sitting there.
He sits down , nods hello.
He notices she is reading a book.
This is his chance.

Update:
I ordered on 8/29, then received tracking on 12/21 but no movement since then from the post office. I just checked this morning & it's now out for delivery today!!!
So they are indeed moving without warning! 😂
I think the Postal service stops tracking when they get busy. I have had statuses show my order arriving 500 miles from here two days after it was delivered.
