First forum knife Final

[Empyfree]

Excitement's building now! I won't get mine for a few days at least, it's being shipped to my summer camp in Maine (I'm still in the UK!) I fly out to the states tomorrow and should head up country a couple of days later if all goes to plan. Then I have the fun of unwrapping my "present" (it is a present, a present to myself!)

The photo's look great, scheisz's pics really show of the satin finish of the blade, and Greta, that edge work looks amazing!

Top work George and Carol, I don't often get spare cash to buy knives, but if I ever do again I know where I'll come!

I got my notice of attempted delivery:sick2:. I'll sign the card and drop in back in the box. No way can I beat the PO closing time.
I must say, that is some very fast shipping from Canada:twothumbs.

 

[Darell]

But I don't want Darell to ban me so

Well done. You get off with a warning this time.

 

[weedle256]

WOW!

What else is there to say?

Oh, pictures...

Some leather

Some not

Naked

Just like Christmas morning!

 

[KingSmono]

Woo-Hoo! The wait is over.

 

[tvodrd]

I don't want to disappoint you but yours has not shipped yet - sorry - so that package is not from us.

Cheers, Carol

All I got was a bag of fauxtons from China.

UPDATE: MAY 6th - 10:13PM
------------------------------

Yesterday was a very busy day in our store and I only managed to get
one package in the mail.

Today was a Dr. appt and tests day.

Tomorrow will be a SHIPPING day. We are expecting customers in but I still should be able to get some in the mail.

:mecrylus I wanted my blisters on my fingers to heal. Cleaning out those holes with polishing wax and a chamis is really hard on the fingers.

Great pictures everyone !!

Cheers, Carol

 

[george tichbourne]

WOW!


Just like Christmas morning!

I hope you were careful when you opened that package, you any idea how long it takes me to wrap those things up and make them look pretty !?!

Cheers, Carol

Get home.....there's a package by the door!!! Run up....what is it? From Canada! Whipeeee! Go inside...oh no...baby is crying....I guess I'll get to open it later...got to relieve the very stressed out mom with the screaming 3 week old. So 2AM rolls around, baby is asleep...on me, when I remember I never even got to open my package. With the care and silence only attainable when based on the terror of waking up either the baby or the wife sleeping a few rooms away I open the box. I take out the packaging....I see the inner paper....and unwrap it. Shhhhhh....it's ok, it's ok, go back to sleep...whew.... "Honey? Is she awake?" Crap. "No babe, you go back to sleep too." OK, got to be even more quiet, I guess. OK, down to the inner plastic...oh, more wrapping...this thing is well packaged. Let's just pop this open.....
"Waaaaaaaa"......"Honey?"
I guess I'll continue opening it when I get home tonight.
Man, has life ever changed. It used to be that when a custom knife showed up, the next few hours were consumed with looking, feeling, fondling and photographing it. I couldn't even get this one opened!!!!!
I'll rerport back tonight...or maybe tomorrow.

Hope everyone is on the mend!

Did you manage to get your package open yet ? Sorry about that I wasn't considering keeping Baby and Mom asleep when I was wrapping that ...............

Cheers, Carol

 

[george tichbourne]

Is there any way to auto-sign-up for any future projects you guys do??

Sure - all you fellows have to do is start another project

We used to have a list of people we'd send advance notices to when did something "new" or "special". It's something we're looking at again. I would send the advance notices and who ever made the purchase within the aloted time would get a percentage off the list price.

[george tichbourne]

Yeah... mine is special... Is that awesome or what!?!?

Kel, we told you yours was going to be "special"

We could have offered that to everyone, but we wanted you to have something just for you - for all the work you do to give the rest of us someplace nice to play "Thankyou" Kelly.

Carol & George

OK - one thing I've noticed - no one has said anything on the forum about the letter that has accompanied the knife. Not only the letter but if you look closely you will see a watermark of THE CPF Knife emblazoned in the letterhead. Anyone noticed that yet ????

Oh NO don't tell me that those are the adoption papers. These are not mere knives they come with their own credentials .

George and I may have to do a recall ............if no one reads the letters.
That's important stuff you know

Cheers, Carol

 

[Greta]

I actually read all three letters! NO LIE!! Even though they were all the same except for a few things... I'm one of those really, really OCD people who just has to make sure that they all say the same thing... And yes, I noticed the water mark... and yes, I had to pick up the inserted card after I opened each letter and the card fell on the floor...

Yes, I read it too. That's how I know I'm supposed to sharpen at a 17 degree angle... and that #12 is mine

oh, and that is "PROTO 1" in the background

About a week for each knife?

I must admit, your attention to detail and wrapping skills are very impressive. :twothumbs

Whoops, forgot to mention that when I posted the pics! I definitely noticed the attention to detail in the letter though! When I was showing someone the knife, I also handed them the letter that was tailored to me and my *specific* knife... and I noticed the watermark in the background as well. And the letter was in an envelope with my name printed all fancy-schmancy on it. Very classy! Thanks again!!
