Some of them looked stellar!!
 
There was some nice Giraffe bone on there and almost abandon ship on the mammoth . But stuck to my guns and got this little jewel :thumbsup: Only the second knife I’ve ever owned in mammoth and wouldn’t you know the first one I got was from KSF I mean KFC :p

How the heck you all have time to take screen shots?!!? I barely had enough time to check out!
 
Thanks to everyone who played. I am sorry that they go so quickly that people don't always get what they wanted. We are working on a solution...it has been a long time that we have been working on it....hopefully soon. :)
Thanks for coming by on your Victory lap :D
 
well that was an exercise in futility ! put a nice Mammoth into cart went back for a Micarta - signed on to PP CHECK OUT - NG --
What do I know - answer - Nothing :confused:... Little did I know the cart doesn't hold item ...
That's OK - saved some $ now I can save up to pay double on the secondary market :rolleyes:

I think it helps to pick your preference, pay for it and then go back in for your second choice.
 
I got one in Red Burlap Micarta. I generally don't like giraffe bone or mammoth ivory, both because I don't like the discoloration. There was a great really nice looking mammoth ivory one that looked almost like elephant ivory with just one dark spot near the butt but by the time I tried to check out it was unavailable unfortunately. I'm looking forward to seeing how I like this. I really like my #78, but I generally prefer clip points (though I like the spear on the #78).

I'm going to have a nice little barlow collection again. This, I got an elderberry bone #77 reservation, my Unicorn Ivory Acrylic (Store model, rough shape) #25, cranberry sawcut sheepfoot TC #15, and smooth ivory bone (dyed black) #15 sheepfoot TC. I might also get a Dom, Shuffler 2, and Roundhead 3.



Fruitport, chased one of these for a long time

Wow, great covers!! Bone? or Ivory?

I did a little trading on the exchange a week or so back. I came away with this Hawthorne Clip Blade. I’m a fan of the 48 frame and this one is certainly going to become a favorite! :D

I usually don't like giraffe bone but that looks great.

Is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot more Northwoods releases? Every pattern gets a Northwoods version.

I think Derek said that he was doing many more releases this year in one of the emails or on instagram.


I’m hearing a lot of the same reactions. I might sit back and watch the chaos unfold rather than dive in as usual. I hate to say it since I love a good bolster but the bolster on this one almost ruins it for me. I have a feeling it won’t sell out in 5 min... it may take 10 haha

Split the difference, 8 minutes. I think the bolster should be a bit longer and the arrowhead should be more centered, but I don't dislike it like some seem to.

A big part is because it seems every run there priced higher and higher which is unfortunate though for a non-flipper that just wants one for there collection.

I didn't think this one was priced significantly higher than others. I do think the inflated price is mostly due to demand.

I like the looks better with the blade open View attachment 867064

I think it looks good. I will see if I like it better than my white bone spear blade #78.

I have had a few the only one I kept was the 2014 IRJ

I got an IRJ. I wasn't impressed by the fit and finish of it and let it go. I had a #25 sized white bone (I believe) spear point barlow that I liked, but got rid of. Wouldn't hate having one of those or the little bay. I haven't loved all the designs, or at least not enough to weather the intensity of the buying process and inflated price.

hey guys--I don't come around here much any more, but I want you to know I appreciate the interest in Northwoods.

If things go south with KSF, we will give KFC chicken a try. :)

Hope you keep up a presence here, I think it's appreciated :thumbsup:

Just know that whatever you choose, people will have a bone to pick with you. For my sake, I hope you don't chicken out of the knife business.

haha I can't see how he would fly the coup with the feeding frenzy these northwoods invoke and all the scratch it must make

I'd leave it like it is. Unless you have 50,000 of them made not everyone is going to get what they want. I didn't get in on some of the early reserves from other knife sites either... first come first serve no matter what. The "KSF Northwoods free for all" is kind of fun!
 
LoL!!!! I suck at this!! Have never got a Northwoods yet on the drop. I thought the giraffe bone was very nice with some cool variety.
This is too stressful and not worth the time spent so far.
Lordy u guys are fast....
Congrats to all who got one!!
I felt the same way but for some reason kept coming back when I said I wouldn’t.
Now I’ve mastered it but not sure if that’s a good thing or not .
Would you believe I came back just for the challenge lol and I was working on the fly with iPhone X in hand :eek:

I'm pretty bad at this. I tried on 3 giraffe all at different times as they would be gone when I would go to checkout. After the 3rd try there was about 5 left and I knew better than to fool with it.
A really good thing going here for KSF........... I guess I need to stick to KFC.:p.
Funny note......I checked my blood pressure this morning 124 over 80. Checked it again after the drop madness was done...137 over 96:eek:.
I better quit fooling with these drops I think....lol
Oh , And congrats on getting a mammoth!! Very nice .
