How about a few more bonus mock-ups since we all had to suffer through BF downtime :) Hey maybe now it won't be as hard for folks to post photos from their phones.

Do you have to have a certain amount of posts to be able to be able to get the fourm knife? I mostly just read through whole posts but don't reply. Just curious since this would be a first for me if I could get one.

That sucks if that would be the case.

Of course, you could always ask one of the buyers if they want to sell their extra one, once they have examined their two, and picked the one they want to keep. I imagine there will be quite a few going on the exchange like that.

That is a good idea. Hopefully they won't be selling them at a exponential increase.

See, that is one of the things that "newbies" don't understand about the Forum Knife. It is understood, gentlemens' rules, that the Forum knife will never be sold to make a profit. They should only be sold for approximately what was paid for them, because we are getting them at a discounted price from GEC. To profit off that completely violates the spirit of the forum.... and is kinda chicken-s***, in my opinion.

This is one of my favorite rules in existence. A few people log a lot of hours to get this in the works and shipped out to folks free of charge. To profit off of that (except, of course, for GEC) would spit in the face of a truly selfless deed. It's one of the reasons I love the idea of the forum knife.

Speaking of which, have we made any progress on figuring out how we can pay for the knives for the volunteers?
I feel very passionately that Charlie and those guys should get a forum knife on us (or at least those of us interested in donating).

I would be more than happy to coordinate the funds for Charlie's and Barry's (and anyone else who is helping make this happen). When the price is worked out, I will post further info and we can coordinate.
