This BF2023 34 made it across the Atlantic to the Netherlands (thanks JM and Spark)! I am really pleased with it; it's an excellent knife. I was hoping not too light and not too dark, and this one hits it perfectly. Zero gaps anywhere. The pull on the Wharncliffe is a perfect 5.5 and the pen is maybe a 6 or 6.5. If I wanted to nitpick, the spring is very slightly proud when the main is at the half-stop, but flush fully open or closed and the secondary is flush in all three positions. Also, the main comes pretty close to the liner, but doesn't rub.

I was a bit surprised at the size. I thought it would be similar to my 68 White Owl, but a little longer. In reality, it is a considerably chunkier knife. It's still a very nice size for carry, though.

Here is a crappy photo (it is dark, raining to boot, and, given my wife's preference for "subtle lighting", the only place I could take a pic is in the glaringly bright kitchen). Also, am I strange, or is the smell of a new GEC amazing?

Yes the smell is great! Can someone post the stuff they use? I think I’ve seen it here before, correct?

555 was the car number for Subaru in the World Rally Championship. I loved watching those races.

I think they were advertising the 555 cigarettes

 

[Roundg]

You revoked my memory. Yes 555!is a cigar brand made in London.

[meako]

With the utmost apologies if I m wrong but that has
'no one can see...is faster than heeee' ...all over it....like that would worry a rhinocerous hide greedmonger.

 

[Will Power]

Don't worry, they've all sold out from that site, including some examples of last year's Bunny Knife...time waits for no man and it won't wait for me....

 

[Charr]

Man y’all are really making it hard to stay patient with all these amazing pictures!
This is the first forum knife I’ve picked up for my 10th year here in the forums, so very much looking forward to this. Been a while since I had a GEC speak to me like this one did. I’ve been spoiled by all of the “modern traditionals” on the market lately!

My video resolution leaves much to be desired. Here’s a couple of pics of number 351.

Same guy, Crescent Knife Works, AAPK member name blades4u, flipped some bunny knives back in January or February of this year....

i'm a bit disappointed, cause I've never seen any informations how to order from Europe. Where can I order? How much does it cost? How can I pay?
Seems like a secret society.
It was easy for every BF member in the US to get one, even if he never posts in the traditonal forum.

 

[Oldy]

I just want to thank charlie at waynorth for his passion and dedication to helping Canadians get their Bannock grabbers on these.oh canada we stand on guard for thee.

 

[DavidZ]

Just got notified that mine shipped.
Can't wait .
