I believe Charlie said it will be some time after the GEC Rendezvous (mid August)..

 

[Shorty45]

Wow! That's going to be a beautiful knife. I would love one.

 

[Taike]

Really looking forward to this knife.

The sale of the BladeForums 2017 Traditional Forum knife will be handled through Gunstock Jack's Knives. This is a not for profit venture that Waynorth (Charlie) heads up and gunstockjack (Barry) handles payments and shipping. There will be an announcement with all the details when production is scheduled/started and everything else is ironed out. Keep tuned to this sub-forum for information.

Big thanks to Charlie and everyone involved for making this happen.
Every single spec of this year's knife is really spot on for me.
I just jumped in but I have been reading the whole process closely.
I will definitely try to order at least two, I'm hoping it will be possible.
I will be checking for the announcement in this sub-forum, a heads up post in this thread would be nice too.
Thanks!

[Jfowler]

Excited here as well ! I was wondering is the bolster going to have the brushed finish or high polish ?

 

[mrknife]

You'll love it, Jack!

I'll have to see Charlie, my preferred car is quite damaged at the moment with a cracked windshield and a few other things wrong, hoping to fix everything in time!

 

[waynorth]

I wish I could help you fix the car, Jack!!

I sent a picture to Bill, after securing a knife with Natural Canvas Micarta, confirming the appearance of the material, following some enquiries.
Here is what he said, followed by the picture of my knife.

"Charlie,


Yes that is natural canvas micarta.


It will vary dependent upon the vendor and the various shipment.


We will use one shipment for the BF job, but I can not guarantee an exact appearance as your picture.


It will be close.


Bill"
