Ongoing Details for the 2016 Bladeforums knife.

There will be no sign-up sheet, no early reserves. When the time comes, shortly before production is finished, when the cost has been determined, etc., I will begin selling them on my site. Simple, easy, final. Delivery will begin the day after I receive the shipment, and not before. You must pay via PayPal, sorry. Them's the breaks.
 
Engineering drawings look great. I like both the rich brown and opportunity for Bill to show us some worm groove.
 
Right on GJ, all good things to know! :) I don't know how anyone would expect you to deliver them before you get them, but I definitely get the point :D These are going to be so Sweeet. Does anyone recall whether this run will get the triple P stamp/etch? Perhaps it hasn't been decided yet.
Thanks, Neal
 
All this talk of limited to 350 and first in first served is gradually reminding me of the recent "I wasn't quick enough and they all sold out in the first 20 seconds" "oh no some people got 4 of em and I missed out Viper thing that went on".
Now-I'm not in any way casting aspersions on Barrys business -because he is one of the best . That is not in doubt.
Anybody else get that shudder down their backbone when the phrase "limited to 350" came up?
Am I being overly touchy and paranoid?
I don't want to miss out -no I don't.

I think that's a legit concern, especially for members living outside the country dealing with different times zones and longer connection times. Maybe there could be a limit of, say, two knives for the first few days to ensure all regulars get in on this.
 
I like the blade - the spear point seems off centre - like a cross between a spear and a clip

We sold 350, but it took multiple weeks to do it. I think selling out immediately is not a significant risk.
 
Man I really missed the boat on all the discussion. Hope I can get back into it.

Very cool! Can't wait to discuss at the Rendezvous. I didn't see anything about ordering, am I too early or too late?
 
Subscribed so I don't miss anything, life's been keepin' us busy so in case it's not officially recorded somewhere. As always I'm in for 1 Charlie this is the first time I got a look at the whole knife. I'll have to join in the fun of tryin' to name the new pattern. Thanks again Charlie, as always a great job and many thanks.

+1 I could get one last year, I hope I will continue. I'd be very disappointed if not, but 300+ is quite a lot and they won't vanish as quick as a 25 or 50 batch. Hopefully... :confused:
 
Well the thought that the 77's preorder got filled very quickly, did cross my mind. But whatever the process is, this looks to be another good forum knife year.

Same here. I thought I subscribed to this a couple of months ago but apparently not.

This project will stay mostly on the back burner until after the GEC Rendezvous, but it's never completely come off "simmer".;)

Having pretty much run out of known "patented" punches for my periodic HJ projects, and given the joint project with the BF knife, I thought it would be cool to find something new, or at least "old is new again!":eek:

Digging through my HJs, I found one of my faves, this Case Bros. Little Valley.

The knife has some desireable features; age at over 100 years, a deeply stamped blade marking, decent condition, and a punch I haven't used before! I call it the "Little Valley Punch".
We can speculate on the engineering behind its configuration, but I think it is flat-out cool!

Just to remind you all, these will be forthcoming this fall and will be distributed by Gunstock Jack's again this year. Don't know how much so don't ask, as this won't be determined until final production is close.

I will NOT be checking each and every knife, as that is QC's job at GEC. Shipping alone is a major project, let alone keeping all the orders straight. :)

How much will these cost Barry?, and can you go through each one and send me what you think is the best -Many Thanks! :D

Just kidding my friend - good points, I have never had a problem with GEC, I just cannot wait to see what this jigging is going to turn out like!
 
I had been hoping for the clip main on the BFK. However, now having seen the drawings for this knife, my interest is again 'running high'.

This knife looks great. And, if it leads GEC to a run of 35s, so much the better.

Thanks to the Usual Suspects for making this happen.
