I really want to jump on this one, but I should probably hold off. Going to blade is putting a dent in the knife funds.

They were at the OKCA, and they look good.

I will wait to see real pictures. I really like original Goddard, but not sure about Goddard with FFG. Not crazy about color of scales either.

It is a very good looking knife and feels great in hand, hard to beat at its price point. I got to admire some at the OKCA show last weekend but had run out of funds or one would have come home with me.

my buddy got one straight from Wayne himself, and Wayne signed the box too.

I was actually thinking it was a little steep price wise. VG-10 on an older unlined frn design and it is higher than a stretch. I have admired the old Goddards for a while though so its pretty appealing.

I've wanted this one for years. I respect Mr. Goddards wisdom and designs. I was upset about the FFG until I saw the video. It looks great. I can't wait. It's gonna be in my back pocket a lot. I just noticed I started every sentence with the letter "I".
- best wishes, Jazz.

Keep in mind that this sprint is going to be plain-edged. There aren't that many plain Goddards in the wild right now - most were PS, with a small minority FS. I bet the total plain edged models in circulation total only a couple hundred (although I could be way off on this number - you have any estimates, Deacon?).

I'm pretty excited to have another plain Goddard in the collection!

Picked up my Goddard today. Great feel to this knife. It's also bigger than I expected.
