I'm loving this round of polished stag 85s:

Dang. These look fantastic. Can't wait to get mine in hand!

All the Northfield 85 reserves at CK went pretty fast. I logged in as fast as I could and only got on standby for a polished stag. Mike picked some outstanding materials for those I don't even care for the 85 that much and I am super jealous :)

Real talk, I got the alert and made an emergency stop into a liquor store parking lot to reserve one. :D

I wish GEC could drop the erratic dark lines in the their acrylics. This would look better with just the two cream colors.

Same thing with a lot of the Hummingbird acrylic scales on the Churchill’s. This would look better without the brownish maroon lines.

I agree with you, I don’t love the sharply contrasting swirls. I think that’s Kirinite’s thing, though. Either way, I’m excited for the options I DO like from this run.

When were the 85 reserves open? Did it require a pre-sign up? I got the 82 and 2-blade Lionsteel notifications, but didn't see one for the 85s. Kicking myself for somehow missing it...the polished stag is possibly the nicest knife I've ever seen.

It was a while back...got the notification via text message and still wasn't quick enough. You gotta be Johnny On-The-Spot with CK reserves :)

Edit - in my experience, they put up the reserves within 24 hours of when GEC posts a new production schedule.

Even if you're quick it's not a guarantee. I missed reserving a Salmon Acrylic 85 because the website lagged so hard when they went up for reserve, and I tried to log in seconds after the reserve came up, but the time I got in I had to get on standby. I was able to get the Northfield Tiger Maple when those went up, which I was happy about because there is nowhere else to get those.

On another note, what is up with the Northfield African Blackwood 85's? They are on the production schedule but they were never listed on the reserve.

It was a facebook group SFO I think. Check a few pages back.
 
It looks really good and it has my favorite shield... Why GEC why all of these knives at once 99s, 85s, 82s..... my wallet had it so easy this year as I really am not into the 14s or the gunstocks, got one each to join the fun
