For prior year forum knives, is this year's a typical duration between initial concept drawings and delivery? Just curious as to how this year compares or if being the 25th made it different somehow? This would be a special one, but I wasn't sure if the process differed.

This year and last year were very different than prior years, due to...umm...issues. Before it was a more involved process where members would vote on materials, colors, etc. But these last 2 have been "here it is, take it or leave it".

Ask GEC guys what color "Green Hemlock" is.


LOL

Thanks. I can understand the selection and voting process may have (greatly?) extended the process. But, how about from after a final decision until delivery? I guess this may go a little into what the GEC process is.

This is where my slight red/green color blindness comes in handy. 😂 I can see some lighter red near the bolster, but have a bit of trouble distinguishing the darker areas. Besides, I'm not usually reading the sheet while using it. So, it doesn't matter to me what they call it; I'd still take one. 👍

I guess this makes sense. As you paid tax, that was an early order before correction and the orders likely go out in the order placed. Makes me wonder how far down the list mine is.

I'm thinking the order is random seeing as my order was placed at 9:01pm, tax paid, no shipping yet. No worries, it always works out. 👍

Compared to previous years..2023s has been done quickly...I can't remember getting one before the end of October.
Normally December and into January.
