Good ol' USPS...
My shipping went from "Label Created USPS Awaiting Item" to "Out For Delivery" this morning.
Typical.
Or maybe they have really fast trucks?

On the contrary, mine went from being delivered today, to now being delivered tomorrow. I think I won't actually get it until Saturday.

Found a nice surprise at my doorstep today.

#92 checking in. This is a really nice knife - fantastic quality from GEC with just about perfect pulls and excellent snap. The frame is one I've no experience with but it feels excellent in the hand and its slimness will make it easy on the pocket.

Well done, Spark, thanks for putting this together for us and for putting up with us all. Congratulations again on the 25 year milestone.

Here it is joining the others - one for each year I've been a member. There are a lot of memories in these knives, good and bad.

#126 came today. It's pretty sharp right out of the tube, and the blade pulls are about a 6 for the main & 8 for the secondary. We're not making much progress on this 2000 piece puzzle. Maybe I can do some trimming to make the pieces fit. Or better yet, just throw the whole darn thing back in the box.

Ok, #50 has arrived and I like this much more than I thought I would. What an incredible way to celebrate 25 years of Bladeforums. Thank you to everyone involved for making this happen. An absolute stunning knife!!

Nice one, and those poppers look delicious!

Side note, I have a set of plates extremely similar to that. They were my parents’ originally and they got them as a gift on their wedding. Then they were passed to me when I went to college. Now, my family eats off them every day.

Needless to say, if they’re the same, those are some plates built to LAST! Haha.

My BF34 just landed today. Mechanically it seems about the same as the other versions which is solid. The acrylic covers on the regular run may have let some down, but this really is a nice knife and I hope to see more 34s with different blade configurations down the road.

Congratulations on 25 years! Thanks for all of the work you put into this one

I put mine to use gathering some jalapenos earlier to make poppers and pickle some.
Used it to cut them up as well, I'm on my way to a nice patina

Well , those plates are for sure built to last. I took that pic at my parents house after a squirrel hunt this morning. My dad (79yrs old)said they have had them as long as he can remember.

The poppers in my pic didn't have any heat to them but they had that jalapeño flavor for sure. Just wished they would've had some fire too.

Number 166 reporting in. Was hoping for the lighter brown versions, but this will do just as nice.

 

[Shaggy]

Good looking knives, everyone. Hoping for a darker version as well.

Those plates are most likely Corelle Ware by Corning. They have been around for a looooong time. We too have been them since ages it seems.

I have Corelle Ware I brought back from my parent's house. Good stuff.
