Forum Knife Updates and comments

It doesn't matter. The cost to us was $71.00 plus $7.20 shipping and it was a SFO. No matter how much effort was put in by Stephen the bottom line is the cost of the SFO knife we got was $71.00

It matters if you're comparing it to a knife that sells for $100.
 
If I am judging whether this knife a good value to me the only thing that matters is what I paid. When I want to compare it with other knives I would look at what price point I believe it would have come in at. I might also consider the price point it would normally come in at to judge the quality of the end product.
 
I can't remember where he posted it, but I believe Skblades said at one point that a standard retail price on this knife would be somewhere in the $150 range.
 
Is the price high for you compared to your usual expenditure on knives?

Are the materials decent quality?

Is the F&F acceptable?

Do you like looking at it and carrying it?

These are my questions and I think they're useful:D

Mine's still at a facility in the US so it looks like @Jolipapa will be the 1st to get a 'European' one:thumbsup: Those damned 'westerners' ;):D:D

Mine is great. Met or exceeded my expectations. I don't carry a pocket knife during the week (workplace rules) but I am looking forward to the coming weekend to give it some more pocket time.

The knife I was carrying that day. I always carry it when at the range - Range Box..

Here's a thought. The 2018 BF knife would make a great Range Box knife. The sheepfoot blade would made a great patch knife.

Nice shot group!
You need to post the forum knife on the Winchester!
I have a pre '64 as well, great old rifles!:thumbsup: a real nice match with the elk 301!
 
Time for my 4 cents. Two cents for each knife. I'm 72 years old and with a few replacement parts. I only wish I was in as good as shape as these knives. Thank you to BladeForums and all those involved here. Thank you to Buck and Stephen @skblades and a Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone.IMG_6930-1024x867.JPG IMG_6926-1024x769.JPG IMG_6928-1024x852.JPG IMG_6923-1024x768.JPG IMG_6924-1024x816.JPG
 
My two arrived today and one is absolutely perfect, nice scales good fit and finish decent 5 for the pulls and good snap on both blades, no play on either blade. The othern is close, decent scales good pull and snap, but the clip has some play side to side.
Over all very pleased with these knives! @skblades and Buck knocked it out of the park! No pics of them today as I’m in the middle of a move and they got packed with all the rest of my collection.

Is anyone planning on doing any modifications, like dropping the sheepfoot blade or adding a swedge to the sheepsfoot or flat side of the clip?

I am planning to do a couple mods. First, I'm going to replace the elk antler handles with some nice aged, stabilized Delrin. Then I'm going to replace the blades with three spey blades of 440A, krinking them to get 'em to fit such that the blades rub when opening and closing. :D
 
I go to mine on Saturday but didn’t much time to play with until yesterday. The scales look great nice and knobby they are thick which is good for me. The clip blade is a little weak on the snap opening. The sheepfoot is great both ways no gaps in the springs. The only problem is the blades touch and rub so it will most likely get sent in but it’s a great knife it’s my first low cost knife in years many thanks to SK and Buck.
