A friend etched it, could have been a bit deeper but it is what it is and that's fine, I didn't panic over it lol

I received mine and it’s #491. Just want to say thank you to everyone that put in the hard work and made this happen. I appreciate it like many others here do!

 

[WValtakis]

That’s great! You’re obviously a frood who knows where his towel is.

Hoopy, even

 

[Th.H.]

Here is mine: No 136. I have polished the bosters and put it to use. It’s a great knife! Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen.

Started the year busier than expected. My Bunny knife landed on the last day of the year, quite appropriate. Truly grateful to every last person that brought this knife to life and worked hard to get it to all of us. Excellent feel in hand, nice f/f . What a dandy!

Did the final 30 or so that shipped have tracking so I can watch for it?

 

[Jakeywax31]

I was wondering this also

 

[315]

Well, I’ve waited a couple of weeks to see if #315 would show up. 320 went back in the tube and I hadn’t even looked at it until today. 320 is now accepted into the family and won’t be treated like a red headed step child. It’ll get used like any other knife I own and will eventually develop its own personality. It has some nice brown streaking and is about as perfectly made as you could possibly get.


should 315 materialize someday there is always the possibility 320 could be reunited with its true family (switched at birth is what I’m going with). If not, 320 does have a red headed sibling that has taken it under their wing and will show them the ropes…

I found those sharp corners at the transition of the swedge to be...well...sharp, so I softened them a little on each side and for me it doesn't hurt the look, and now, it doesn't hurt when I accidentally brush against it them either
my friend Tim Wright always says, 'the only part on a knife that should be sharp is the edge'

Gary Gary W. Graley - It's the same with mine too. I'll take your lead and do the same to mine.

 

[Gary W. Graley]

I think it’s a good thing to do, I taped all around the area so any slip of the stone won’t scratch any other areas

Anyone in the last sale batch of 30 receive theirs yet?

Will someone with a ruler or a set of calipers, etc. who knows what the heck they're doing (Gary Gary W. Graley comes to mind) measure the closed length of their 2022 BF Bunny Knife and get back to me and let me know what you get. I get 3 3/8" but several people and even the Mock up by GEC say 3 1/2" .

Here you go:

and butting the bolster end up against a flat side and the ruler also against the same flat side, you can see the length is just over 3 3/8"

#511 checking in... it fits right in with the other... uh 15's

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

How many were there total in the end? I thought I read 500 which obviously isn't the case.
