Wow....quick circumvention of the 2 limit.... this is why we can’t have nice things!

Everyone could order 2. I followed the rules and did that. What other people decide to do with their extra knives after the fact has nothing to do with the initial order process so your claim has no foundation.

If I waited for people to list them for sale on the forum and bought 2 more, is that any different? In either instance, I’m buying additional knives from other individuals. I could see an issue with creating another username, email, etc, as that’s scamming the system, however that isn’t the case.

As far as not having nice things, it’s obvious that you don’t participate much on the forum, which your post history agrees with. If you look at any thread, it’s obvious that we all have lots of nice things. Check out the knives that get posted daily in the picture threads, there’s tons of nice ones!:)

I think this is the longest I’ve ever waited after ordering a knife but it’ll make it that much more sweet :)

We need to have a talk about managing expectations. :D I'm pestering Buck literally on the other window as I type this. Apparently the long pull is wreaking all sorts of havoc on the machining parts. Sounds like all sub assemblies are pretty much wrapped up and waiting for blades to be finished.
 
Guys & Gals,

Blades are almost finished up at CNC. like Steve stated the long pull has been destroying tools left and right. even with CPM-154 in the fully Annealed state its still hard to cut. That being said, I wanted to give everyone a heads up on the remaining processes so your anticipation can be ramped up even more. :p After CNC they blades will be stamped with the Blade Forums stamp (pictures will be provided). After stamp we move to final double disc to get us our final blade thickness. After double disc we move to flat grind and chamfer. Once that is achieved we go through heat treat, then on to assembly. I know what a lot of you will be thinking after you see that list. they must have another 7 weeks left! Really the blades should be done by weeks end, then on to assembly. All the sub assemblies are built and awaiting blades, so assembly should be fairly quick (not too quick though, because they all have to be perfect :cool:).

Thank you, Caleb!
 
Never understood gifting a forum knife to non forum members.

The person who receives it will only have a appreciation if they are a forum member. Otherwise it's just a nice knife to them.

Big thank you for the update. Sorry for the problems with the blades. Is CMP 154 really an unusual blade material for Buck? Guess we BF folks are getting a super bargain with this one. I'm really looking forward to this knife. Nothing I can do in terms of time, so I'm comfortable waiting how ever long it takes.

SK: I am managing expectations fairly well. :D I was just going by what you said a week or two ago. No problem on my end.
