The BladeForums 2022 Traditional Knife Thread

I received mine last week and finally opened it today as a Christmas present. Mine (259) is flawless. Thanks to everyone involved.

One question though. If it was covered elsewhere I missed it. What is the etch on the pen blade? 3 P’s in a circle?

I feel you on that one, I'm typically a fairly patient person, guess I'm just too excited about this one lol

Unrelated but I too am waiting on a knife that's expectedly tomorrow
But when I saw the garbage people run I got excited, figured the post office folks would run too

#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?

Yes,I think you will enjoy using it.

Correct.
Closed today, yesterday and Saturday as well, so no movement since Friday.
I've got a few I'm waiting on impatiently and got a pretty direct answer from my shipper today after I posed a couple of direct questions.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

I beg to differ, as I went to the post office on Saturday
And as I know the ladies and gents that work there pretty well I said to her
“And I suppose you’ll be wanting the whole day off tomorrow?”
She laughed and said why yes I do

I didn't open the link, just read the headline...
But still doesn't explain why my shipment has been sitting in a warehouse since the 23rd with no movement.

For those that did not get one, and do not want to wait for the excess ones to come out for sale, they are appearing on the exchange for sale now, for around $160. I have no clue if the price is good or not.

I dont know why but I am quite shocked by that seeing the joy most are getting from the Bunny knife.

I note one at least was tryring to sell withing the parameters of the original buying guidelines.

My problem is I am very sentimental
