ORDERS ARE CLOSED! 2023 BladeForums.com Traditional Knife.

Ok, we're down to under 5 knives left, so as soon as they run out you won't be able to order any more. After they are all gone and I've had a chance to ship everything I'll open up ordering for the variants, acrylics, etc.

"But Sparrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk why is it taking so long to shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip?"

Good question. This morning I timed myself from start to finish pulling a knife, boxing it, putting the info in the spreadsheet, getting a shipping label, etc. It took roughly 4 minutes. Multiply that by 600 knives. 2400 minutes. Simplified? 15 knives an hour, or 40 hours for 600 knives, just packing and shipping these. This is after my primary job, in addition to taking care of forums tech stuff. So it's going to take a bit to get all of these all out of here. Especially when I have to take time to answer the same email over and over of "where is it"

This explanation has been provided in the interest of transparency. Rest assured, the person who prompted it will get their order cancelled and refunded when possible.

Thanks for doing all this! I was a member back in 2000 under user name Jason and had to re-sign on. Thanks for keeping the site vibrant after all these years.

I ordered within the first minute of the BF knife going live but wasn’t logged into PayPal when I did. Still haven’t gotten any emails/confirmations besides the first initial payment confirmation email. Staying patient but kinda lost in the wind! loll

Driving home from taking my son to the airport a little earlier today when an email pops up from USPS giving me a tracking number - it will happen. Or as was said in an old TV show, "patience Grasshopper". Spark is working overtime on Sunday for us - just so you know. OH

For those who have gotten theirs, how is the pull on the blades?

I'd also say mine are in the 6-7 range. I find it very pleasing. Particularly, I find that the halfstops are so nice and crisp that about 50% of the way between closed and halfstop it actually propels itself open to the halfstop position. Same story from halfstop to full-open. In my opinion the action is pretty much perfection. Crisp, snappy, and confident but NOT a bear trap.

My users are users. Pretty ain't on the agenda. That said, I don't abuse them either. If I'm going to be dropping it in the dirt on a regular basis, I'll carry something other than a GEC ;)

I find it best to use nice sandy soil like this,especially right after you've oiled the joints. 😝👍
