Indeed, and it's the progenitor of today's deservedly popular and elusive Alber's Cutlery Jacks. Here's mine.

Er...THREE from 2009?? It's the one I missed due to an annoying mess-up in international orders at the time, also took a long time to deliver them all I recall.
 
Aha it's had the @mrknife treatment...or did it fall out? :D Or from Queen to S&M...if you get my meaning Fine Stag on all three Sir.

I've seen mention of this knife, but haven't been able to track down particulars. Can you point me toward an ordering thread, or any firm information on this one?

Ditto. This is the first mention I've seen of this one, I'd appreciate any information that you can point me to.

The link to my list is here, as always if anyone can help fill in blanks I'd appreciate the input.

Does anyone have ALL of the forum knives?

I’ve owned them all except for the first 3. 2011 was when I first started really participating here and was able to buy the moose and wharncliffe barlow off of another member in the exchange. Kind of wish I had tried harder in the beginning to complete the set. I haven’t seen the ring knife or...

I have all from 2009 when I joined until last year's knife.
That order thread, which I never saw, got by in the thousands of "excitement" posts.

Still not sure I am going to buy the current knife.

All in all, a fine set of quality knives, many designed by group voting.

supposedly, there was about a hundred or so made of these and the stag was donated! you might have a better chance asking those who were involved or who helped resolve the distribution. 2014 marks a special year for me as you can see I joined back in 2010 when I was in college. in 2014, i became gainfully employed and was able to finally enjoy one of my hobbies, knives! But i had missed the sign up for the stag jack 77 or the back up. I obtained mine on the secondary and was eventually offered an Eric's Jack.
 
Damn, took a 3 year break after GEC collecting burnout and missed the 2019 and 2021 models, two of the nicest forum knives ever made. Glad I still have my 2013, the most hated forum knife of all. ;)
 
@dsutton24 I'm pretty sure mine came from Barry @gunstockjack and that this was an offshoot project that Charlie Campagna organized. Stag was donated and it was interesting because stainless had not been offered as a Forum Knife option but was the following year by Canal St. as they were about to go under. You best ask Eric about this too?

Thanks, Will

Footnote: I didn't see you had started a thread about this...but good that you've got the info you needed.
