How funny would it be if they just etched the serial number on the backside of the main blade so people could simply buff it off for eBay flipping!

I hope the bolsters are stamped with the number though. I wonder if the cover model knife on the magazine is simply that, a store model test knife that ran through the processes not needing a number. There’s extras and weird ones leftover every year.

A culmination of a lot of hard work by those who put this together - big thanks to you all!
It's only a hop, skip, and a jump away now.

Might be, but it was always on a mark side, eh.

Also, bolsters look like they are matte, or is it just me?

Looks like matte to me also, hope not but if they are will have to sand and polish, hate matte bolsters.

Good information from the horses mouth. Thanks waynorth . Hope you have been feeling better lately.

I have been much better, Thanks!!

So, GEC is starting to ship Forum knives!! I suspect most will be out in the mail by Friday or so!!
I have a much smaller order than Spark, so mine are on the way for Canada!!
Can't wait!!

IMO the pattern is fantastic...... This is not "just another knife" for the drawer.... A tip of the hat for those who put this package together!!

 

[HullK]

Yes, appreciate all who put in the effort. Especially waynorth for taking care of the northern tundra contingent

Anticipation is growing!!!
Thank you to all parties involved in keeping this tradition alive. I know I am not alone in appreciation for all the work involved in the annual Forum Knife production and like previous years the result is spectacular. Thank you!

Or you could think of them like they are antique. But I get it, I just love shiny mirror polished bolsters.

Anyone else have this feeling that the knives aren't serialized???

They are serialized!!!

 

[Bloodloss]

They are serialized!!!

Ok, ok! Just a hunch. I've been known to be wrong, just ask my wife. LoL!

 

[waynorth]

Well, looky here!! Serial number 44!! First Bunny knife to hit the table in Canada!!

Firm pull, about 7.5 on both blades! Great fit and (matte) finish!
My first thought was it's a little 'plain' looking for a GEC, but it has such good feel to it, it's raring to go for work or recreation! Rabbits, beware; this knife could could promote a change in diet for many BFers!! Wonder if it will polish itself in my pocket??

Please contact me only if you are a Canadian member!! The USA knives, and European knives will be there soon!!
Spark is your man in America!!

 

[Hyesouljah]

These came out really nice! Thanks for sharing waynorth , can't wait to get mine!! The oil the joints stamp is probably my favorite part about this knife so far!

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

I’m thrilled that the Oil the Joints stamp made it onto the tang. That makes it pretty special! Kinda like a permanent to-do list written on my palm.

I’ve already hatched some devious plots in my mind regarding knife slips. This will be a carrier for sure. I wonder what the chances are if landing #357…

 

[mrknife]

Stunning!

 

[Primble]

Oil the joints USA .................. LOLOLOL
