Brushed Ebony? That sounds cool, have they done this on any before? I have a few in ebony but they were fairly polished. Interested to see what the brushed finish on the ebony will look like.

Brushed Ebony FTW

It took me a while to realise it was a bunny pattern wallpaper,the blue/yellow colour reminds me of some traditional French tapestrys.

I think it looks great and Warren made me laugh like this Bunny Warren from Porridge the TV comedy.
Here with Fletcher reading a letter for him as he couldnt read.

"Bunny" Warren.
Bunny Warren was the illiterate Porridge character from 1974 to 1977 and again in Life Beyond The Box. He was a crafy little nerk. He earned the nickname "Bunny" as his surname was Warren. Bunny was played by Sam Kelly

Etch or no etch- I am just glad to get one! I really like the way the knife and tube art came out!!

agreed, im grateful of the efforts of waynorth , Spark meako and all those involved

Not a complaint, but reading the label again I'm wondering if a couple of the sentences about fencing ended up in the wrong spot?

The labels fit the knife, outstanding work in such a short time.

Yeah, I briefly wondered about that too. Figure its a cut/paste thing.

Those are great! The etch here looks smaller too.

Closing in on November pretty quickly!

Even something like this I think would look nice... still simple but has some character to it.

The original etch looked really cool.

Nice work… excellent work on the artwork and story behind the pattern. Cant’t wait to see one of these knives in hand.

"81 fences" ? To me, makes more sense as "that's fences stretching from . . .".

But what do I know, maybe I just don't understand this sentence ? ? ?

Believe it just means it's enough fence to go back and forth between NY and LA 81 times

What you wrote, I understand. What is written on the label, I read as "81" very long individual fences stretching from LA to NY. But the sentence on the label, as written, doesn't make sense to me.

EDIT: Did some really quick math. I think the number is roughly 68 times.

waynorth , Spark , and meako deserve a a massive round of applause for putting this together. This year's knife is going to be fantastic, etch and all.

My only issue is that I'm afraid I won't find any rabbits. Will a rabbit knife will work on squirrels?

I'm pretty sure, no... it won't.
Next year's forum knife.... the Squirrel Knife!

I can see meako now, standing in front of a mirror, saying "you talkin' to ME?"

RE: Depressed









Yeah, I missed it by one day. Was here all week and the week before posting, and never saw the banner that orders had started. There is one user on the forum that reached out today and might be able to help me at no mark up. So, fingers crossed.

Got it... sorry to hear that... but, hopefully there will be some available after the dust settles a bit. Keeping fingers crossed....
