2008 Forum Knife quotes.

I am on the maybe list ,but ready to commit. Has the knife been decided? I do not have a knife from either company so I would welcome either. I do like the looks of the CS , however I was wondering if we could talk Northwoods into doing the square bolsters with flush joints (If they have the capability to do this). I saw those flush joints on some older knives in another thread and REALLY liked it.
 
The Nothwoods looks nice, but I would prefer it in the 4" range. Much as I like the 2 CS knives we've got so far, and appreciate the service they've provided I'm still not 100% convinced somehow.
 
Here is a medium Northwoods Stockman I sold to a friend months ago for reference. The steel is D2 and 4" in length.

Although I just requested to be on the maybe list, one just like that with a small "BFC 2008" etch, like on the choil or shield, would make me a buyer. No scrolls or fancy stuff please. D2 or 1095 would be just fine. I think it would also be nice to try Northwoods Knives this year. Just my humble .02.

There you are, very nice looking scales,shield and rounded bolsters:thumbup:

That D2 looks a bit tarnished, so carbon would be better in terms of patina (and sharpening:D)

I think either knife would be fine. I guess Canal Street would be D2 or 440C steel though. I like both, I already have two Canal Street Forum knives and I wouldn't mind getting another one. Maybe you could do a poll and see which one we should go with?
 
The fit and finish, ESPECIALLY on the main blade of the Canal Street is lightyears ahead of the Northwoods.

I like D2.

For those of you who value my opinion, the Canal Street gets my unqualified support.

3.5" closed is a MEDIUM stockman, anything longer than 4" is a large. Personally prefer the larger pattern, but the vote went to a medium pattern, as I recall.

Best Regards,

The original poll results showed a strong preference (which I share, and based on which I made my commitment) for a stag medium stockman in 1095. Canal Street indicated they were unwilling to make a knife in 1095. Are we starting over at square one?:confused:.
 
I dont think so. Northwoods has presented us with a very nice offer, and they produce very nice knives. I was under the impression we were waiting to hear from Queen. If there are no other proposals, then the 2008 folder is a stag Northwoods of 1095 blade steel. No frills, just a really good user knife.

I recommend we go foward with the Northwoods project.
