BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

[Modoc ED]

You received your tracking after I did. Also, I have multiple friends who got their shipping notice the same day I did, who've already received their knives (and their tracking actually updated). One of 'em lives all the way on the other side of the country. I live three states away, and am starting to think the box fell behind a shelf or something at the post office.

Take your tracking number to an actual post office and ask them to track your package. They get an up to date list of every place your package has been. If your postal people are nice, they may even print you a copy - mine do.

Great comparisons,The 93 doesn't look that much larger than a 82 but how similar are the clip blades in each the 93 and 82.never had a case 75 before so didn't realize how big they were.

Very different….

139 showed up today, I couldn't wait to get home. These are wonderful thank you Spark. I particularly like the "sawcuts" on the jigged bone, it's a nice touch.

JOELSM are they ever different, the 82 is more Turkish clip or even muskrat blade

It’s very interesting how similar the footprint of those two knives are, but wow, the main blade on the 82 is dwarf by the 91.

I received my knife today, 233. Its color is sort of in between the pictures shown.
It'll do.

Woe, Joel!! Yours looks even lighter than mine!! I have to decide (again) whether to re-dye it or not. I prefer much darker!!
Thanks for the comparison!!

Yep, I think mine is the lightest coloring I’ve seen so far. I don’t mind it, already looks 100 years old. (Tongue in cheek).

I’ll probably eventually dye mine a bit darker. Just need to find a good amber dye recipe.

#249 arrived today. Thank you Spark for all that you did to bring this to us, your efforts and tolerance are much appreciated and to GEC for the excellent products you produce.

The massive eagle has landed

 

[Crappie71]

Reporting in with #130. This one has typical GEC fit and finish with nice blade pulls and zero blade rub. I don’t know how I feel about the light bone yet; I was hoping for a darker one. This is still a great knife, and I’m happy to have it.

 

[315]

Hmmmm, I guess asking for #315 didn’t work. If anyone knows where it landed I’d appreciate a tip.

Yeah, asking for #71 didn’t either.

 

[Spark]

315 was a popular request. 71 probably went to someone who didn't care before your order was processed. First in, First Out, Lowest numbers etc

Nice! Hopefully that means I’ll get mine soon - I requested 203!

Still pretty Quiet … oh wait never mind

Received #083 today. My first Bladeforums knife and my first GEC. It's darker than most of the pics I've seen posted.
Very happy with it.
Thanks to everyone that made this happen.

Got mine today. Kind of amazing given we are buried under snow. This knife is extremely well put together and is a very nice size. My covers match pretty well (seems looking at the pics GEC really went out of their way to try to do this) and are not bad looking in person. While I don’t absolutely love the jigging and color combination, the overall presence of the knife makes up for it, and the corset shield (again, never my favorite) actually works quite well on this. a fine piece of pocket cutlery to be sure.
