Just got mine today- directly from Oak Island, a place that always will be special to me. I have spent over 15 Christmas's there at my mother in law's house. Funny, they always complained about the postal service there but my knife got to me in record time! Anyway, a beautiful knife and my first forum knife.

it is bad, that’s why I made the trip to Southport where Rudy took real good care of me. The post office on the island is run by contractors and not USPS; their service is world class poor. I’m glad you like your first forum knife, it should be a good one through the years! Merry Christmas.

UhOh, looks like mine has dropped into the abyss of the Palmetto,Ga. Service Center. That place is a disaster.

That's funny! You live in a beautiful part of the world (if you can get rid of those damn Carpetbaggers

).
Thanks for everything- Merry Christmas!

to me that’s no bueno for today but most likely tomorrow although I’ve been wrong on this in the past (maybe 2 of 100 times).

I agree with Tom. They expected to deliver today but their expectations were not met.

Thank you sir!!! And a quick rub of the miracle polishing cloth cleaned that back spring right up. Took me longer to go downstairs and get the cloth than to polish it out!

Have you noticed that the back spring sits flush with bolsters and liners when the blade is in the half open position. Is that common of the 93 series or are our forum knives built to a higher standard?

I thought all knives that had a half stop did that.

Thanks so much for the beautiful knife to Tom and team. I've over 100 GECs but strangely this is my first ram foot. These came out great!

Thank you everyone for the kind comments - I’m glad everyone likes the pattern, polished blade, etch and handles. In due time our postage system will get everyone their knife or knives.
As a reminder, I have a few leftover knives, if you want one send me a PM!
