Let's talk Northwoods

I think so yes. I prefer satin given the choice, but can’t have everything I want lol

Got my black micarta, very good fit and finish nice little knife. I am really liking all of the variation in the giraffe bone this time around, but, I think that my favorite is the denim micarta. Here is mine with his cousins

So from what I am gathering, the Red, Black and Giraffe got the polished treatment, and the burlap and denim are satin?

Correct. Here’s a crappy comparison pic for you.

Had to wait until I got off work but here is mine. The tip does not protrude at all... excellent F&F, no gaps and centered. Good snap, pinchable. I didn't try on the last two Northwoods releases, but something told me to hustle on this one and so glad I did. Couldn't manage to get the lighting quite right but this shows the colors pretty well

Wow what a beauty ! I Really like the color of yours

Thank you much : )

Wow killer line up, you must have lighting mouse clicks to have grabbed all of them!

Decided to pull the red linen micarta out of the baggie to get some air and maybe pocket time

These fayettes really feel great in the hand. I think I'm just a fan of these smaller form factor knives like this one and the little bay.

I am absoloutley pleasantly surprised by this release. I'm liking it allot!

Here's the back side of the giraffe I got.

Just a post to commiserate with the likeminded. I lost a reasonably priced Mammoth Fremont, my grail of grails today by literal seconds. The search continues, but I did get this beautiful Ebony Madison in the mail as a consolation.

Once upon a time, I had 3 different Fremonts. The prettiest blue camel bone, a rich creamy Elephant and a mammoth. First I let go of the camel. Then the elephant. I knew I'd NEVER part with my mammoth, though. Until...my best friend asked me for it.

I gave it up, too. At least I can still see the mammoth from time to time.

Here's a pic of that mammoth.
(no filter!)

Love the clip Madson, ArchiveMoto .

Good grief that is an A++++ mammoth Fremont, I hope your best friend appreciates that kingly gift!

NW Little Bay is nice and slim compared to the double bladed GEC 25s.

I wish Northwoods changed up the color of the free slips. Seems like the slip color has been the same for a few years. I have too many of the tan orange colored freebies. How about some black or dark brown? Maybe even some bright colors - the colored slips would be interesting with giraffe bone, and people could trade to get what they wanted since you don't have a choice with the freebies. I would gladly give up the stickers and coin for a different color @okbohn .

Adding my mammoth fremont pic because posts are more fun with pictures

I have turned a couple slips dark brown by soaking in Neatsfoot oil for a couple seconds, inside and out, then wipe off excess quickly. Came out great and helps to weatherproof. Just make to wipe down good and stick a folded paper towel inside to absorb excess oil. First time I tried I left the oil on too long and it was a permanent oily mess. It will look blotchy at first but within 20 minutes the oil will absorb and the color will even out.
