Thanks Vance!! Just earlier today I was there are W.A. Surls Wednesdays!!! I'll be checking these out when I can now too
Be sure to check the preview unlock at about 8:15. You can see some good pics of what's up that evening, and see if you'd like something from the batch. There's also a group of us that signs on every Wednesday, regardless of if we are trying to claim a knife or not. If you need help, or have questions, we're all glad to give a hand.
If you look back through the W.A. Surls sales you'll see that Allen has quite a few different models and styles he's experimented with. For example, a little while ago he was making quite a few based on the Loveless design. Some real beauties! I've found that if you mention what you hope to see in his "Wish List" thread, you just might see it pop up a few weeks or months down the road. You've just got to be patient, and diligent. Things come and go...and come back around again...in cycles. Some of these wrapped knives come up in the Fiddleback sales threads as well on Fridays, so keep your eyes open.
If you have questions about various models, handles, wraps, or just need general info on how the system works - or how to get some help on Wednesdays - throw it out there and one of us will surely jump in to help you out.
One other thing friend. I'd strongly suggest you consider a Gold membership in the forum. The fee is minimal, and gives you private message privileges so that you can have (and store) conversations behind the scenes. It's been instrumental for me - both in my collecting, as well as creating friendships on here. It also helps support the Forum. If you think you'll be visiting often, you'll find it's very helpful. And you get to post a really pretty picture next to your name! Just a suggestion.
