Forum Knife Updates and comments

[waverave]

I am grateful, humbled and overjoyed to be a part of this year's forum knife order...doesn't matter if it is GEC, Buck, Case or Rough Rider for all I care. If I had joined maybe a week or two later I would have been out of luck. It makes me feel like I am part of a great community and will serve to commemorate this period of my life. Can't wait to get it.

Well, it looks like a couple weeks have gone by since the order went in to Buck. Wondering if they've started the process of making them. Any news yet skblades ? Thanks in advance!

Wondered this myself today. We're spoiled with GEC's progress blog.

The word on the street is that production will be complete Mid to End of October. I'd hope for the former and lean on the latter.

Any chance of W.I.P. or 'spy' shots?

Thanks, Will

There was talk of September. I always felt that was a bit optimistic. Late October sounds good to me!

Does anyone have pics of a similar Buck knife to drool over, maybe a pic for size comparison.

I'll see what I can scrounge up.

Thank you for the progress pics, and all your hard work.

Elk looks great! Nice and thin! Can't wait to see the full grind on those blades!
Thanks

Didn’t realize they’d be serrated at the tip!
Thanks, Neal

 

[akaMatt]

Yes, that elk looks great!

But that's definitely not what I had in mind with the full flat grind!

 

[Icky Thump]

Ooh, some very nice pics there...thank you!

The elk at this point is pretty knobby. Makes for an interesting knife if they don't sand them down a lot smoother.
