So I walk in the door, and my wife tells me I got something in the mail. For the life of me I couldn't think what it was until I saw the box. Then I went, "Oh....YIPPIE!!" :D

So I tear it open and find this beautiful little folder from Gustavo Valdez. It's O1 and anodized titanium. It's a liner lock with a titanium clip which works great on my pocket.

Nathan,
That is one sweet little folder. What a great gift! Everything I've seen for this year's Kith looks great, lots of wonderful blades being passed around:thumbup:

So far everyone has acknowledged receiving their shipping info and half of them have been shipped already. This is going smooth so far....... thanks to everyone following the rules. I really think the "knife is in a box" plus photos took any potential problem out of the system.
Looking forward to seeing the rest start arriving and hearing from you chaps as they come in.
 
Funny. I got a large box from the South yesterday. I wasn't expecting a large box. My mind went immediately to Butch's hawk. I opened it with eager anticipation. Alas, it was a metal detector my wife ordered for my son that I had forgotten about. Still, there are about 32 other knives that I'd be just as glad to get.

WOO-HOO my KITH knife arrived from Shawn Tardif and I am stoked. Sweet utility knife dressed in gorgeous Maple burl and a very cool leather sheath to carry it in. This one will see plenty of use and be a nice addition to my custom knife collection. Thanks Shawn great knife man!!!

You are most welcome, Stan. I'm glad you like it and hope it serves you well.

I've been carrying my little folder from Gustavo today. I liked it from the beginning, and the more I carry it, handle it, and use it, the more I like it. It has a VERY smooth action, and the blade has enough weight to deploy nicely with a flick of the thumb. It also fills the hand very securely when held for heavier use. Thanks again!

Well, I got a box today with a stunning knife by Josh Dabney. It is a first class knife in every way. It was the first knife he forged....at The Moran School in Arkansas.

Josh, I can't tell you how much I like this knife. Fit and finish is superb.
 
Stacy,

Glad she made it safe and sound and of course it's also great to get a favorable review ;)

Please feel free and welcomed to give "the good bad and ugly" review and of course any recommendations you may have for improvement.

Thanks one more time for investing your time in organizing the KITH for everyones enjoyment ! If you call and I don't answer it's probably because I'm standing by the mailbox waiting for the postman :)

Take care my friend -Josh
 
I look in my mail box today to see this. Stan, Thank you. This is a wonderful addition. The materials and workmanship are first class.
