I’ve tried to purchase one from, I think, the same vendor you purchased from and it will not let me complete the purchase due to no inventory. Pretty sure they are mistakenly showing availableI was able to get one, and a retailer has had them in stock for 2+ hours. I guess not so popular.
That’s a nice example - congrats!My Postie delivered this little beauty about an hour ago. Wasn’t sure what to expect but I like it! Nice dark red saw cut handles, fit and finish is excellent. The blade is snappy and sharp. It may be gimmicky but what can I say, I’m easily amused.

Beautiful knife!!I was lucky enough to get one in hand today. It is a neat little knife, albeit niche. Don’t have any bottles with caps, so lifter is untested. First impressions of F&F. I think this might drive the purists a bit nuts, because you’re going to lament the cap-lifter/blade on such a well executed 25. The saw cut covers, bolster, centering and dye job are excellent. I’d like a bit deeper red dye, but that’s a personal preference. The dye fade at the bolster gets pretty light - not quite pink, but on the verge. Seems like the pictures from from the GEC factory reflected pretty deep reds with minimal color fade at the bolster - so I’m sure I’ll be eyeing future pictures of those deep red examples with a bit of green envy. Tube artwork is minimalist and mine came with a pin. Pictures for effect:
