ORDERS ARE CLOSED! 2023 BladeForums.com Traditional Knife.

[abbydaddy]

Status update: as of this time, I've shipped out around half of the knives, there's something like 270 left to go out the door. If your order has shipped you should get a tracking number. I'm basically at 02AM of Sept 12 orders lol

Unfortunately I have real life issues right now that are forcing me to stop for the next couple days but I will be back at shipping these out ASAP and as fast as possible. Regular updates will keep coming.

I told myself I wouldn't do this, but Woohoo! I made it under the wire. I was trying to practice my Zen, but I am happy to have mine on the way. Thanks Spark.

Received #089 today! Nice pull and snap on both blades. I just need to flush it. Plan was to save it as a collectible, but it might end up in my pocket like my 2016 BF knife did.

Take care of business, Spark, the knives can wait. Hope all goes well.

I have boxes of various valuable collectible stuff I intend to sell at some point sitting around, but the prospect of having to ship it all one by one (and deal with all the people) sounds exhausting me, so I've procrastinated forever. I can't imagine 600+. I'd just give up, lol.

073 here!
Very nice. Larger than I had imagined, which is a-ok with me.



Thanks for the all the work that went into making it happen!

#45 checking in, fitting as an early birthday present (I turn 45 next week )

Number 079 reporting in! Very pleased with this year's knife! I got a good number even though I didn't care about the numbers. But '79 ain't too bad I reckon, I was born in '79

Ooh, very fitting. I was hoping to get mine yesterday as a 43rd birthday present, but I got my shipping notice today, so that is all good. Somehow, I don't think I'll manage to get #43

#049 just arrived! As plenty of people have said, bigger than I expected (which I love). I would also put my pull at around a 5.5 on the main, 6.5 on the pen, pretty much perfect.

#97 came in today. I’m happy that mine has darker bone. The fit and finish is spot on, and the pull on both blades is nearly perfect——just needs a little flushing. GEC did a great job on these! Thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.

There's been a couple canada orders I've come across and cancelled. If Charlie has sold out of his batch we will get it worked out.

I did not realize that Charlie waynorth had his batch yet? I am assuming that when he is ready he will start a thread saying so.

Those darker scales are gorgeous!!!!!

Got my tracking number yesterday, expected delivery this Friday the 6th. Very excited to get it as the examples look great and this will be my first forum knife.

Thanks to all involved making this happen and giving me the opportunity to have a special knife!

True, love the darker dye on the bone! Congrats

I don't think I've ever seen a run of GEC bone with so much color variation. The first lighter one I saw . . . "That's for me!" But then Crappie71 shows that dark, dark one, and I'm smitten! Well, whichever one I get will be a nice addition, these look great.
