This drop will be interesting. The first release sold out very quickly, i suspect these may be the same. Any thoughts ??? Have a good weekend. ::tu::

I’m inclined to agree. The Laid Back Jack is a Swayback pattern with a Wharncliffe blade. I expect it to be at least as popular as the first pattern if not more.

Here's a link to the website which displays all of the upcoming patterns.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I would like to own one. Just can't get past the price although I'm sure they are worth it.

cudgee it would cost well over $500 Australian to purchase with shipping and GST.Long gone is the days when it was $4.50 shipping to Australia and no GST
I've stopped buy knives for awhile as it cost as much to ship a knife as to purchase one.

I get you. I have stopped purchasing also, but i have more knives than i need. But there is a still a seller in Sheffield England that i purchased from in January, $22 postage for 3 knives, which i thought was reasonable in this day and age, and slipped through without GST. But you cannot get anything from the US postal service at the moment anyway. But i would not pay $450US for a knife i could have got for $295US if i wanted one.

I always thought the SGBs were made in China?

If so, this seems like a high price point to me. ::mdm::

I'm not trying to disparage anyone when I trot out the old saying, "there's an @## for every seat." That's how those knives sold for $300.

Would I park my backside on that seat? No. Leaving aside banter about price and country of origin, it strikes me as a blend of tradition and modernity that doesn't work.

That's a very handsome knife in the link John! ::tu:: I scrolled down just a bit and on the right there was their One Hand knife which also was very good looking. As far as the prices...? ::shrug:: 8)

The latest drop of these sold out very quickly on one site, a few remaining on another. What i want to know has anyone here purchased one? Just like to hear their comments, a knife person who has one is the best review. :)

Good post, Cudgee.

Has it been mentioned anywhere how many of each variant were made? Knowing the quantity made would clarify if these were massive sellouts or just a few knives that sold quickly.

I don't know mate, but i do know a few retail sellers had drops. But no i don't know how many there are in each drop. But there a a few styles being made all the time, i saw a sight showing all the future releases and there were a few shown. The carbon covers appear to sell out in minutes. ::tu::

It certainly is puzzling that nobody has posted pics or comments about their new Sharp Shooter Jack from the first drop.

I haven’t noticed any comments from owners on any of the knife forums. Maybe it’s all over Facebook but I wouldn’t know it if it was.

Me neither, i don't do social media or facebook, but what you say is correct. Strange that there has not been any posts here or the other one. I know i'm in the minority but i like the look of them, and i'm a traditional stalwart. Have a good weekend my friend. ::tu:: ::handshake::
