The BladeForums 2022 Traditional Knife Thread

[black mamba]

Thanks, Andrew and Steve. If mine ever comes, I'll have to give it a try. I hate the brushed bolsters.

 

[Old Engineer]

I wonder if it is possible to polish the bolsters without removing the serial number? It looks like the numbers are quite a bit deeper than the striations on the bolster finish.

Polish them up with your Levis Jeff .

Every time someone complains that they haven't received their knife, tracking, or e-mail, a Bunny gets his wings.

RELAX! You'll get it when you get it!

Benjamin Franklin said something similar to this, something about a watched pot is slow to boil, that must translate into, watching for a tracking number is slow to show up

... after a little dab of Renaissance Micro-Crystalline Wax Polish and a lot ... LOT ... of hand rubbing (very relaxing actually)
Almost looks like smooth black bone LOL ... in this room light at night
Bolsters are definitely still brushed satin, but a bit lighter and shinier brushed satin

Whoever gets #237 hit me up if you don't like it?

Good call. I wonder if it’s some kind of secret coded message from meako though.

The Eagle..... errrr Bunny has landed! Arrived yesterday and examined just now. Very nice knife!
Thanks and congrats to, Charlie @waynorth, Kevin Spark and GEC. Kudos on the label Jon meako ! I always look forward to your musings.

Thanks Gary and a merry xmas to all....

 

[hornetguy]

...still waiting for mine. If it doesn't come tomorrow, there will be no Christmas Bunny!

He'll show up at Easter, with Santa Claus.... and your knife.

I have been coon fingering mine and believe what others have stated. It’s not to big to carry in your pocket and not to small for a meaningful task. The bunny is a perfect carry size for me!

 

[MolokaiRider]

Knives look great!

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Our places here are pretty scattered not a group of houses in a neighborhood.

Your mailman is supposed to deliver all first class and priority parcels. If it doesn' t fit in your slot, they are supposed to leave you a key to the larger parcel lockers on the bottom. Your tracking should say left in parcel locker. If the parcel locker does not work or the keys are lost, its your mail carriers responsibility to put in the work order to fix them. If the locker is not fixed yet they are supposed to at the very least leave the parcel at your front entrance but preferably hand deliver to a member of the residence. You should not have to go to the post office to get your non signature required parcels.

Key words are SUPPOSED TO. . I am assuming you have rural carriers and the same rules apply to them. I just left USPS 3 weeks ago and are pretty up to date with the SOP. Talk to your local postmaster or station manager and they should make the appropriate recommendations to the carrier.

Jeff, I think the numbers are deep enough to be able to polish the bolsters and retain the number, I agree with you I absolutely detest brushed bolsters and will be polishing mine.

I did polish the wood and bolsters on mine and the serial number is more subtle, but it isn’t polishing away any time soon. I went all the way down to 400 grit, then 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000, 8000, then Flitz.

I can’t believe I slept on these. Really kicking myself and hoping there are a few leftovers. Loving the elderberry bone one I landed.
