Here we go! 
Team 2011 (Andy aka Mqqn, Campbell aka Cnas122 and Chris aka Cj65) are honored to organize the process to develop the 2011 Forum knife. We are committed to Spark, but more specifically to the Moderators as well as all in the Traditional Forum who will be purchasing the forum knife to deliver a much coveted annual BF traditional slip joint knife. Arriving at a pattern, scale material and all the trimmings with your input (those who are committing to purchase) is the end game. Having all of you feel involved in the process is our primary concern. We will do this by popular vote under the framework of what our determined manufacturer can do and/or produce. We will shoot for all knives to be shipped and received by Christmas 2011. We feel it is important to provide updates and transparency during the process. The cost of the knife shipped to your door shall not exceed $100.00 US (may be a bit more for non Con US). We 3 feel it is a privilege and an honor to volunteer for this year’s task. This will be a daunting task since the previous years’ knives turned out so extremely well.
So, for right now........
We want to hear from you what pattern you would like to have. Feel free to mention a manufacturer too, but of course we would be limited to who can do it for us, and how many sign up. Please only post your thoughts if you intend to purchase a forum knife.
Scales, blade material, blade style, # of blades etc. are not a primary concern yet, but we know you will throw that in here too, and that is fine.
This is to be fun, so let's get that cart moving before the horse.
What are your pattern preferences?
