GEC #86 2021: Angus Jack, 2AB, Spring Street Barlow (BF Knife)

[The Amazing Virginian]

Working hard to get that post count up today? The handful of posts made prior to today were you in the for sale threads.

In more than three and a half years before today, dude had less than 60 posts total in all of Blade Forums.

In just the past 2 1/2 hours, he has 32 posts in this forum.

Maybe something is escaping my tiny brain and it does sound wonky but what’s he trying to achieve?

Really? He’s attempting to suddenly meet the requirements for purchasing a 2021 BF Knife.

Really? With posts like this in the GEC thread I thought he was just trolling.

i have just moved on from gec to customs. gec demand is too high and awesome customs are obtainable at similar price to secondary market

Then minutes later he posted his new 73.

That’s what I thought at first but then I seemed so obvious that he didn’t qualify maybe he was up to something else. After 65 years of thinking the best of people I still have a hard time wrapping my head around those who want to game the system.

Uh Oh, we have sneaky snakes showing up?

Sadly there were a few of them in the various threads today.

Got a well done in today

I had an opportunity to pick up an Angus but since I’m not much of a 2 blade fan I passed on it so someone who really wants it can get it.

I gotta admit, in the beginning I wasn’t a big fan of the acorn stamps on the 2AB but after seeing the finished knives they really look great and I think I’ll kick myself in the foot if I don’t try for at least one.

I’m a big fan of rust lanyard on my CRK’s so I’m hoping I can score me a Rust Orange Natural Bone to match with my Rust lanyards. Adding any of the three will be considered a win however in my book.

I was on top of this ER notification today, but nope, only got on standby.

Same here...

Hoping to snag a od canvas somewhere

I might have to pay the scalpers for one of the well done knives.

 

[Frivolity]

I’m surprised at some of the variation in the well dones. Hoping to get a medium well to compare down the road

This particular release of knives has really helped me understand the term "lolly scramble." So I appreciate that.

 

[SnackPack]

I think I need to send mine back to the kitchen, it came out burnt!

 

[Old Engineer]

In my opinion, it was the one "to get" out of that run - that big banner shield is really something else.

I think you are right Dylan , they each are One Heck Of knife , but IMHO the Forum Knife is the better Work Knife . But I am Partial to Lambfoot and Sheepfoot blades , but they all are beautiful and substantial knives . It is a lucky person to have one of each . Great Photo my friend .

Sigh. I hate paying the scalpers and flippers, and I rarely do. But I have missed all the 86 drops and I have a feeling the current scalper rate on the well done Angus on the Bay will seem cheap a few years from now.
