The BladeForums 2022 Traditional Knife Thread

Frank.K · Jan 4, 2023

This Bunny Knife is top notch. I like the etch and the action is good. I picture a dusty box of these little blades sitting on a shelf in a ramshackle little outback store, alongside cans of beans and warm beer. “That’s a knife”

I drew #390, which matches the #39 pattern nicely! That said, I was really hoping for #352 if anyone is interested in swapping.

Thanks to Charlie and Spark for bringing this to us! Nice words, Meako!

Tracing received yesterday although like many others, it seems the KY postal service refuses to scan them. Not precious about numbers but 420 would be nice, not for that reason (

). It's my daughter's birthday. I probably missed it based on recent numbers posted but my own birthday is Saturday so it would be a sweet present if it arrives on that day.

Is anyone planning on doing a little YouTube review? Be nice to get a 3d view of the knife.

Mine arrived a few days ago and I gotta say, hats off to Charlie. It is a wonderful classic design and perfect for edc.

Im not picky but that sounds even better!

Speaking of meat pies, we have a couple from New Zealand in town that sell meat and veggie pies. They are really good.

I'm assuming this is what you mean by the other 420!

I drew No. 251. Lovely knife. Nothing particularly notable except that it is a prime.

Hatchet_Jack , I was thinking a different 4/20 link:

How 4/20 became 'Weed Day' | CNN

April 20, or 4/20, is known as "Weed Day" in some circles because the date corresponds with a numerical code for marijuana.

That Norm Macdonald bit was about him playing dumb on what 420 means.

#425 showed up. Nice knife. Reminds me of a 15 I had a ways back. A very big thanks to

waynorth and

Spark for making it happen.

Tracking Number Received!

Murphjd25 · Jan 4, 2023

Just noticed this upon closer inspection. Do you guys think I should reach out to Spark? It’s a pretty nasty crack and you can definitely feel it.

jeffsenpai · Jan 4, 2023

Where are these shipping from? I can keep an eye out for the right tracking info.

He’s got a few dozen extras according to one of his posts (potentially being listed Friday), I’d ask to get it swapped out before then lol.

If you love the number, fill it with thin super glue, sand/finish/etc.
