It seems like the 2.7 can be a love it or hate it sized blade, I'd like to get it into some people's hands so they can decide if it's right for them or not. I don't mean to be a snob but I would like to get it back in one piece at some point so I'll keep it limited to members of the S!K subforum who've gotten their Survivor! numbers and other people I know and trust from elsewhere. If I feel like we can open it up to more people I hope everyone can respect that it will be completely at my discretion. Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here. I have a half assed idea of some rules for the passaround, if I'm missing anything obvious please let me know.
Rules-
Please don't keep the knife for more than a week or so. If you get busy and don't have time to do anything more than butter your bread that's fine, life happens. This is for you to take a gander and decide if you like it. If you're doing a hardcore review and need more time just post it up and let us know. Looking at you chiral/Chamdar (Grolim priests still scare me
), you can take all the time you want. Let's just be respectful of everyone else involved.
For timeliness sake and the hope that I see this lovely knife again this is only open to people who can ship within the US. When you ship it, ship it insured via USPS for the value of the knife and PM or email me the tracking number. Communicate it to the next recipient as well. I paid $165 for it but that was on the secondary market, as long as it's at least $125(S!K's price) I'm happy. If you participate you are responsible for the knife while it's in your mitts.
I'll start a '2.7 Passaround Review' thread. If you participate please post your thoughts. No fanboy'ism needed, if you hate it let everyone know why. The minimum I think would be expected for an honest 'user' review would be carving a try stick http://www.karamat.com/trystick.pdf for woodscrafty stuff or any use in processing game. If you don't have time to do more than spread some peanut butter that's cool, let us know what your general thoughts are.
If you dull the knife.. you kick ass! Sharpen it at your discretion and post up what you did and used. If you're not comfortable sharpening it you can send it back to me, send it to S!K to sharpen, or maybe you can convince one of the sharpening gurus on here to do some work on it. We have some exceptional blade menders here. I don't care if I get it back dull as a brick but I might think some rude thoughts in your general direction.
I have a list in my head, but my head is awash in a bit of booze, don't be upset if I forget you please. This is just a preliminary invite list, all Survivor members are welcome to jump in. If you're mentioned here you're in, just let me know and I'll get to shipping. Chiral, I hope you don't mind being nominated to go first.

If you're interested, post in this thread and/or PM or email me. The list above is just wishful thinking on my part. I have to reiterate, YOU are responsible for contacting me and the next member when you ship the knife.
