Added static order link in FAQ section since people keep dismissing the notices and then ask how to restore them - https://www.bladeforums.com/help/2024-traditional/
UPDATE 12/6: GEC has shipped first two batches to me, expected to arrive here next week. Orders are now back open, if you don't see the announcement at the top go to your profile and reset notices
Pic of finished knife:
We now have a render with handle material AND nail nicks for the people who demanded them (some of you are so unreasonable, psh not wanting to pinch the knife open). Shield design is not final.
Almost 200 knives sold. Preorders will stay open until all are sold or the knives arrive, whichever comes first
UPDATE 8/29 - PREODERS ARE LIVE, SEE ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE TOP OF THE FORUMS.
If you accidentally closed the announcement, go to https://www.bladeforums.com/account/preferences and click "Restore dismissed notices"
edit - Well I'm friggin incompetent and 50 of you got your orders in for the knives when they were worded 2023 instead of 2024. That's too many to refund immediately so I am just going to cross my fingers and hope you guys understand that clicking on the announcement for the 2024 knife with it being 250 and a preorder is for the 2024 knife and not the 2023 version
We've gotten word back from Bill & crew at GEC about the 2024 Traditional Forum Knife
This is a RENDERING of the SHAPE of the knife. Handle material color, stamp, shield will be determined ASAP.
Thanks to inflation, my cost on these has increased by over 50%. I will eat as much of that as I can for preorders but we are looking at a substantial increase in price. Non-preorder pricing will be $300 ea or more.
Pre order pricing will be around $250, shipped to CONUS. International was a mess last year, we'll see how that plays out this year.
I will put pre order buttons up ASAP.
