Three cheers for Charlie!

I am thrilled that we might get a knife this year.

 

[AZCoyote]

This will be my second forum knife and I couldn't be more thrilled that it's going to be a GEC! I'll be happy with anything Bill offers us so can't loose.

Thanks again to Charlie for getting this moving!!

Ya can't ever have enough funds.

Ya can't ever have enough funds.

True that...never enough...

 

[Snodgrass]

Wow, this is great news. With the run of knives so far this year, it's almost surely going to be a desirable pattern.

I vote GEC French Kate, no blade, comb and caplifter only. Glitter gold.

Not an official response, but my experience:

Generally all that's required is a minimum number of posts here in the Traditionals sub forum. They're looking for participation over and above 'likes' and single word responses, and the threashold is usually low. The goal has been to accomodate just about anyone who isn't a pain in the neck. In the past they've bent the rules for new members who haven't met the minimum number, but have a good track record.

I would think you'd be eligible.

Thanks for the response!

Yikes!

 

[dsutton24]

Yikes!

Their standards must be pretty low since I've been able to buy them with no problem...

And your word that you won’t buy just to resell at an inflated price.

Im super happy to hear this. The fact that it’s a GEC is gonna be great. The biggest thing to me is that we’re going to have a forum knife at all this year.

I don’t post as often as I’d like, but I love this forum and I’m super happy every time I carry one of the forum knives because it reminds me of all the great discussions to have and great people to talk to here.

It literally could’ve been anything and I’d proudly have it in my collection.

thanks waynorth for making this happen for The Porch.

I'd really hope to get a hold on my first forum knife this year. The fact that GEC might be doing it makes it even more desirable.

 

[MolokaiRider]

I am also pretty stoked that a GEC may be available this year.

The Buck we snagged a couple years ago was pretty nice too. I have not performed the much needed thinning of the edge grind yet.

I hope Buck can become a potential supplier for a forum knife again in the future. The 301 is a beautiful knife.

Sometimes they want a person to have over 50 Posts to Qualify , but you should still have plenty of time to get er done my friend .
