To begin with, if this is inappropriate, please excuse me. This is a sincere offer that would not be made if I had not felt your true love for Schrade knives.
It seems several would like to see a forum knife that commemorates Schrade and some would like a knife under $125 and some would like a fixed while others want a folder.
There is nothing more I like to see than several things come together and that is what makes a knife special. So what about bringing together everything, a 2006 forum knife that is a Schrade and is hand scrimshawed by the retired artist Frank Giorgianni? No, I am not trying to drum up business for my dad, and if it is perceived as such, again please excuse me and I will respectfully retract this suggestion. I though it might be nice for everyone to have an opportunity to have an original scrimshaw in their collection. I know a handful of you do have originals of my fathers work, but this would allow everyone in this forum the opportunity to own one also. Now would be the time, while Schrade SC blanks are still available. If everyone thinks this is a good idea, I will have my father draw up some sketches. Two Schrades could be offered for the 2006 forum knife, a 502SC and a 507SC (or two other patterns). Some of you may have some blanks you are willing to sell. Probably 25 of each pattern would be needed.
I would also suggest they are serial numbered 01 to 25 on each pattern and the first 15 of each belong together. That is both the 502SC and the 507SC starting with the serial number 01 to 15 would be sold as a set. There would be 15 sets. The 502SC and 507SC with the serial number 16 would be sold separately to the individuals that only what one knife (fixed or folder).
This suggestion is also contingent upon being able to get 25 SC blanks of each pattern.
Again, if this seems inappropriate, I apologize.
