All About Pocket Knives

Phil,
Your stag looks really nice. What is your over all impression of the knife?

Included was a written apology for the delay from Josh Basham with Red Hill Cutlery.

I like the knife a lot. It is extremely well built and feels rock solid in hand. Eric has worked his magic once again.

Looks great Phil, expecting mine on Friday.

I got my Stag Boy's knife today. It is first quality. The blade is centered and it has no gaps between the spring and liners or handles. Fit and finish is superb. I don't remember reading it in the description, but it also has half stops. In the box was a nice bag holding the knife, the typed description, and a golden Red Hills/Canal Street pin. Also, Josh Basham of Red Hill Cutlery wrote a nice letter apologizing for the long wait. Pretty classy, I thought.

I don't take pictures like a lot of you folks, but here is mine. My handles don't match real well, so it is good that you can only see one side at a time. The pull on my knife is perfect for me. I think Eric did a fantastic job on them! I am very glad I had enough patience to not cancel my order. Not having a medallion makes for a nice clean look too. Overall, for the price we paid, we got a terrific deal! I look forward to seeing everybody else's pictures. Since there are only 26 knives, maybe all the owners are on this forum and will post their knife.

I got mine in today, and couldn't be happier!

Eric sure knocked it out of the park, great knife!

I received mine yesterday. I’m extremely pleased.

The CSC Boy's knives turned out nicely. Wonder if there is anything new in the pipeline?

Glennbad and Frailer, a couple of great looking knives. Eric is a master. And welcome Frailer, glad you jumped in.

Still working on some serious backlogs, but likely some time in the near future. Working on the desert ironwood boy's knives for Red Hill right now, then 50 SFO boy's knives for an un-named customer who I'm sure a number of you will recognize, then a gazillion knives for Moore Maker, and THEN we can finally start working on some new stuff.

Glad you like them Glenn and Frailer!

Sharpened up, a little Formby's on the stag, and in my pocket. Decent knife, snap to open improved with use and some Quick Release. Promptly dropped it in the mud, a little smaller than I am used to.

Last Friday (April 12) I received an email from Red Hill cutlery saying the order I had placed back on November 21, 2018 was now completed. At that time I'd ordered two Canal Street Co-op knives. I have already gotten one of the two knives I ordered but was still waiting for a Boys Knife with Desert Ironwood handles. I suspect I'm not the only one here who has been waiting for one of these.

I called Red Hill Cutlery today to see what was up since it's been nearly a week since I got the email and thus far the knife has not arrived here. The very nice lady I talked to said she had sent out that email in anticipation of that batch of knives being shipped to them and had been told they would be arriving at Red Hill last Friday. She told me the knives did not, in fact, arrive as she had expected and were still not in their possession although she thought they would be coming in today.

If you're waiting on one too, at least you don't have to wonder if the dog ate it or someone absconded with it off your porch.

Got 2 on the way thanks for the heads Up

Thanks for the update. I got the same email and UPS tracking #. UPS says label had been made, but hasn't been shipped.

I saw a post from Eric that said the email from Red Hill was sent out by mistake. He had not even shipped the knives to RH yet. He hope to ship them today. Hope this helps.

One step closer ...

Another new Boy's Knife. Get one while you can.

Eric,
Any new knives coming any time soon? Thanks.

Larry it's gotten mighty quiet on this front. Not sure what's going on but my spydie sense tells me it might be quite a while before we see another one.

Over on BladeForums, Eric confirmed that after the co-op finishes current orders, it will shut down.
All my co-op knives are Red Trouts.

I believe one of the last co-op runs was some boys and trappers knives for Moore Maker. If I remember correctly Eric was involved with the desert ironwood knives. I picked up one of the boys knives. Price is a bit high, shipping costs are bordering on ridiculous, and shipping was extremely slow. But overall a very nice knife.
