ORDERS ARE CLOSED! 2023 BladeForums.com Traditional Knife.

Guessing all the blades sold as the notice at the top of the forum page is gone. Excellent! Looking forward to seeing more pics and hearing the details about "pull strength" and fit and finish, blade sharpness, etc. Thanks for letting newbees participate Kevin, Spark Spark .
 
Thank you to all involved for a great knife!

On occasion I'll get a GEC that is pretty darn sharp. But mostly, a good working edge. Sharpness is in the eyes of the beholder. When I do sharpen I tend to go with a pretty sharp angle. As I do like them shaving sharp, it's just a thing. They get VERY sharp, but as always, they tend to dull sooner with that angle. Then sharpen again. Lol.

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.

No worries here, I'll get it when I get it.
 
I ordered and paid for mine on 9/14 and haven't received tracking confirmation yet so I would assume so if I had to guess.
