We have our 5.
I'll do another one of these soon with another knife so if you were not one of the 5 you'll have another shot.
I think short pass around lists on these is the way to go. We had a couple that took forever to get back to me. Too long to be honest.
Low post count pass around.

Whoa, honored for sure Mark. Thank you!!ChefKnivesToGo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2017 10:09 amSpencer, since you've had some bad luck getting in on pass arounds I'll put you in on this one.Chefspence wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:49 am Sounds fair. I have never done a pass around yet. I always seem to check after the rotation has already been decided
You're 1 on the list.
Re: Low post count pass around.
Cool!
yeah just let me know and I'll put it though some product and run it side by side next to the HD. I've had my eye on those but three knives came up out of the blue that I had on my wish list that couldn't pass up....
funny thing about those wish lists is they always seem to get longer.
Thankfully I can always steal away prep from prep cooks to try out new knives because NOBODY ever minds if I do thier work for them....hahahaha.
Since this is my first pass around....would you fill me in on etiquette, shipping preference, etc etc.

Re: Low post count pass around.
Sad face!!! I'm in the midst of a cross country move! (And month long vacation!!!) this summer. Wouldnt be able to tell you where to send it!
Re: Low post count pass around.
Nice idea. Hopefully all goes well and there are more in the future. I'd love to be in on a pass around and increase my experience with a number of knives.

Re: Low post count pass around.
Knife is going out to Steve today. Once he's done I'll have him send it to Spencer and he can send it on to Don. Also, Alton wanted to sharpen it so I let him do it. He does the vast majority of finish sharpening jobs anyway so it might be better to show his work instead of mine. But I'm better. hahahahah
Spencer, can you baby sit this knife please?

Re: Low post count pass around.
Oh, wow! Would have loved to get in on this. So tempted to grab the last one of these! If only I hadn't *just* bought another knife...
Looking forward to everyone's impressions!

Re: Low post count pass around.
@ David, a general rule I've heard from someone was "don't be a dick" 
It makes sense, it's not your knife so treat it with care, don't try to cut anything you shouldn't don't get it scratched up. I would also think to not try to clean off any patina, just let it stay natural. There's a time limit to adhere to and then pack it up nice like it was when you got it and send it off. I think that's about it. This is my first time around too 
Could everyone please pm me their addresses and necessary info so I can get that to the participants that need them for the rotation. Thanks

Re: Low post count pass around.
I'm about as low as you can get lol!
Would love to be considered if you expand the list or someone's drops out. I'm looking to pick up my first j knife and getting the chance to try before I buy Would be awesome

Re: Low post count pass around.
You can pm Mark, but he made up the 5 man limit, so prob not. Sorry. Stay posted for more coming up, and keep on as a regular, contributing forum member and you'll be in on the pass around's in no time.

Re: Low post count pass around.
Hello, I realize I'm probably too new for this now, but would really be interested in this in the future, especially a wa style laser as I've never experienced either and would be a great opportunity to do so while also getting to share input with others on the same knife.
