I try my absolute best not to advertise my wears all over BF, however, because you have inquired, it has been decided…I will be making the custom slips again this year to keep the 1 year tradition going! Haha. Please visit my sub for more info in order to keep this thread clean.

Looking forward to making some nice ones this year. :)

#229 in the house!

The curved handle is less curved than I expected. Rather subtle, really. I posed it alongside my #15 Barlow, and the blades are pretty much the same, so the question is: do I make it a user or not?

I paid for my forum knife using PayPal back in October and I don’t see any kind tracking number in PayPal.

Anyone else in the US still waiting for their knife??

Yep. Not a single word yet. I asked for #324 so I'm hoping that's the reason I haven't heard anything yet.

EDIT: Just to add ... if a package is too large for my mailbox, the mail person leaves it on my porch by the front door, but this one fit the box out on the street fine.

Well, from a purely maintenance standpoint, one says Oil The Joints and the other does not ... might save a minute or two every month or so ;)

That sounds logical. The only reason I'm hesitating is that I sometimes feel a little guilty for not carrying my TC Barlow often enough, and busting out a brand now knife with the same blades feels decadent. Maybe if I change the pen blade into a coping blade...🤔

I wonder, if with some sanding and filing, if itll straighten up the sway, and once more have a 15 long pull clip

But I already have one. Maybe sanding and filing the the other side for more sway will turn it into a narrow Lanny's Clip. Nah, I like the subtle sway as is.

i kid of course, short of a belt sander, it would be a tremendous undertaking for me

I’m trying something new this coming year. I’m only going to buy a knife if I think I will enjoy carrying it more than the one currently in my pocket. Once the new knife arrives I’ll switch it out. May as well start with this one - I have a feeling it could have a long run.
