That's a relative position!! You don't have to be too near the stamping to hit it accidentally with a wheel, and trash it!! 😲 Instant "seconds"!!

That’s fair. Still, it could’ve come up a bit. 😁

I think they could’ve moved up a bit. It’s nowhere near the pivot pin. 😁

Lol. Well that pic was a good one. Saves me digging out a safe queen.

It would look more properly located if it was up a little , but I learned years ago to look at the Process On The Floor , and maybe even try it out . I would change the overall size in order to get more space at the bottom and keep the space at the top . But it is not my Money to make the changes . And I expect that they will all be Sold Out anyhow . I certainly hope that I can get 1 or 2 of them .

I wasn't very enthused about the cover materials for the 2AB at first, but these sure are nice. They're on par with the stainless acorn #47 Vipers from a while back. I'm glad to see they are thin, too, like 77s and not thick like the 86s from 2019.

did you do something with the exposure/lighting? thats much brighter than Ive seen the others
 
FYI, Jack, I just looked at it in lower light now that it's the evening and the red looks much darker, like some bone. Having said that, I looked at the production pictures and you're right, most of them look pretty dark. Here's the shot that I could find of some knives that were finished, and the bottom right knife looks like it has a grain pattern similar to mine and is showing more red than others. I've seen layered G-10 do the same thing, too, where it depends on how the piece was finished which layer gets revealed.

im still hoping to get one, it looks good to me!
 
I'm really liking all the Angus pics, and I really like a knife named after the Angus. We raised black angus and Angus/Hertford cross back before it was cool and Hertfords was king lol. But anyways all this talk of medium rare and well done, but all I see is...7AR85_Excellence-800x533.jpg

Black Angus 🤠👍
(All those nutty stainless barlows are pretty cool too!)
