Attention BF2020 Away We Go - Books are closed

[knifeswapper]

Hi Mike ( knifeswapper ),

I know you said December as projected arrival of the BF knives from Viper, but I was curious if they are able to provide you with any progress updates (or even some teaser pictures). If not, no worries, I'll pipe down and be patient; but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

With the way these knives are manufactured, there is really not any "progress" pictures. As the components are assembled as they are dropped in the box. I could take the the slabs off one I have here and take a picture

Expected ship date from Italy is still late November / early December. Although if they split-ship may have some earlier.

We really appreciate the update, and your effort in making this happen for us.

Not much of an update. But for the most part everything is quiet as makers are just nose to the grind with partial staffing. But Viper is really good about hitting target dates.

Ah well. Assembly lines have their own peculiar appeal, though not so much for knife nuts.

Thanks for the response!

I don't know if I can wait that long. May just have to break my knife fast and get something new to tide me over.

Confident it's going to be more than worth the wait Moreover, it's appearing almost exactly the same time that previous Forum Knives were released, no mean feat in these bizarre times

Isn't it supposed to read "Covid-2020" under Bladeforums?

Looks great. My Son and I wait in anticipation.

The swedge and nail nick look just about perfect.
