I don't know how Spark deals with 500+ of these...100 was a lot of work. Next time they do a BF knife please make sure to offer help to whoever is coordinating. I have a new found respect for those that take on this endeavor :)
Are they all yours now? ;)
 
Thanks to my friends that helped me with this set. This is a great hobby.

These were an excellent run of knives. I only got a beaver single blade and a worm clip, but they are all fantastic. Looking at this lineup, I kind of wish I had gone with camel instead of worm.

Oh boy, are these 39’s nice or what?! This has to be one of GEC’s all time hits. I have always found that the 15 pattern needs a bit of extra weight, either a barlow bolster or a second blade. They are just too light for me as a straight single blade jack. The same holds true for this 39. The extra blade gives it just the right amount of heft. The spey works beautifully in that its length and shape create a fairly comfortable grip when using the clip.

The spey works beautifully in that its length does not create any hot spots while the clip is in use. In fact, it it barely noticeable.
I agree. It is a fantastic finish, and a great combo of blade shapes. My only issue is it's kind of hard to get at the spey in this model. Maybe mine will loosen up, but I am having a clumsy time with it. The single blade beaver by comparison is a breeze to use, nice action for it's size and I am surprised how much I like the light weight.

edit: actually it looks like I could use a bit of a flush.
 
Theyve slimmed down them the liners it seems compared to the 15s so the singles are almost too slim, almost. Ive been told its the same as the bunny knife, so ill have to compare. But even me, usually a single blade guy went after the doubles, regular release so far.
 
Woops tried to upload the photo of the new 78 with the new shield on mobile. But it looks interesting
