This was my first bfc related forum knife from 2005, (not traditional, Schrade USA)

I put this here to share with everyone outside of the Schrade Collectors forum, this was my first forum related knife and unfortunately Schrade closed their doors not too soon after this.

I loved the extras that came with this knife, and the fact that there were only 30 or so made makes it even more special to me, enjoy.

This was the first Forum Knife I'd ever gotten here at BFC and it came with all the little goodies in the top pic, Engraved Schrade 3rd Generation SS627 Canoe(?), Schrade 100 year anniversary money clip, Imperial Schrade Keyring, Schrade Whittlin' Club pin, Beaded USA Patch(?), 2 large brass/bronze Duck Stamps and assorted certificates of authenticity along with Phil Scarborough Jr.'s card, the man who I believe put the whole package together.

Anyone still have theirs or better pics of the set, please post 'em.

The knife is very nice. I'm surprised by how much "stuff" came with your presentation set. My only forum knife (2013 Spyderco) is "a knife."
That curved handle design is very cool, but it would slip out of my pocket as quickly as my last clip-less knife did.
And I don't do well with nail-nick designs. They always seem to have a horribly strong detent spring that threatens to cut off my finger when I close it. I have a very nice and new KR Johnson Sodbuster now that I am afraid to carry...which means I will certainly "gift" it.

You find a golden wrapper and get to go to the factory to watch it being made...

But seriously you just watch the forums for the announcement then buy from the factory usually (or in some cases the exclusive authorized dealer)

Thanks CK. That is a funny thought though... Willy Wonkas version of a knife factory, where everything is made of exclusive metals and different woods, g-10, micarta and such :thumbup:
 
He's not to far off, some knife makers hold a lottery just to see if you can pick one their knives up.
