Let's talk Northwoods

55s.JPG 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

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 :thumbsup:
 
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!

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. :eek:

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

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

Love the clip Madson, ArchiveMoto ArchiveMoto .

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 :thumbsup:

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.
