The BladeForums 2022 Traditional Knife Thread

I also received a email about the bunny knives for sale. Maybe I'm out of line here but I ordered on October 13th, no email no tracking. Now it's 2023 and people bought a bunny knife and will get them before the guys who payed 2 months ago. Thankfully this will be my last gec knife for a while. I'm done with the rabbit hole knives, fear of missing out . Calling a knife dealer as soon as a production schedule update like a drug addict calls a dealer. I truly enjoy pocket knives but this has gotten crazy.

If next year's knife is a GEC I'm out. I can't stand this feeding frenzy and the crazy markup on the secondary market driven by the low production numbers of the maker.

They ruined comics and sports cards and I guess its knives turn...

Please don’t forget some people have put a lot of effort into this for you and me.

All we have to do is wait,it’s not like we are short of a knife or two 🤣

They haven’t arrived in England I ain’t fretting just sitting back,getting pleasure from those who have recieved thiers and are happy.

I get you, but what does that have to do with us choosing GEC to make a Blade Forum knife?
Seems like a painless way to get a new Great Eastern Cutlery knife. 🤗
 
Sounds like a lot of you have never bought a suppressor and waited on a form 4 to clear the ATF.

The first rule of buying NFA items is to pay for it and promptly forget it, then one day your dealer will call you to come pick up your new toy. Perhaps that approach will help with the Bunny Knife anxiety.

My last suppressor took 14 months, have friends who have waited even longer.

I live in California where it is totally FUBAR to even think about such things! 😡
 
I'm not complaining, and am sure my knife will arrive in time. And by the looks it will be very nice. That being said, I did order within 6 hours of the link being posted on day 1. So to see other knives arrive and then be sold again, and arrive to the new owner. Or others being modded. Or other dealers selling leftovers. I'll admit some of the excitement is over for me after seeing people post photos of knives for 3 weeks.
 
Mine is still in the tube. I’ve been working nonstop and haven’t had a chance to enjoy it yet. I’m leaving for the Philippines in a few days and I’m tempted to bring it with me but also afraid to lose it somewhere between Hawaii and Kalinga.

All he has are the "S" models and not for much of a "mark up"

There were about a dozen (13-14 I think) "S" models. They came to me, and since I had to pay for them, I asked GunstockJack to sell them, as Spark and I were busy getting your orders out to you all. Spark has his hands full with the bulk of them to ship. I hope he gets to you all soon!!!
When I order 550 knives, I have to guarantee the payment for all of them!!! In my opinion this is a great knife with a great history behind it.
If there is going to be another BF knife, I hope someone steps up to handle it.
It's getting to be too much for this old Fart!!!

I hear you. I was sitting calmly by waiting without a word, but then I get an email offering the knife to the general public. I guess it rubbed me the wrong way.

I'll go back to waiting quietly...the whole GEC thing disturbs me as well, but it is what it is as my mom always says.
