2018 BF Traditional Knife

[Pàdruig]

GEC # 47 with a Sheepfoot or preferably Lambfoot blade in Red Jigged Bone with Worm Tracks, and not that ridiculous clawed bone . Carbon or stainless is okay .

Harry

I could get behind such a concept.

This might be a little far fetched but I've always liked the 700 series Buck knives. Discontinued in 2001, I wonder if Buck still has the tooling for these. Maybe some Elk or Palm Wood covers. White Micarta would look pretty good too.

I'd be in for one of those.

I'd love a coffin jack from GEC but it would be much more realistic to get in on one of the runs they already have planned like the 44 Mag Gunstock. I'd love a single blade 44.

Got to strongly disagree with you about this one Harry.

I don't see what is ridiculous about this Cougar Clawed Bone personally Nice deep grooving, like Winterbottom, and it gets better the more you handle it We all have different tastes of course and that's how it should be

 

[Will Power]

Got the 14 bug it seems

Imagine one like this in Camel Bone, Rat-Tail bolster (Barehead of course) with a swedged Clip and a Sheepfoot secondary. Not been done before, unique to the Forum, all steel construction, all tooling ready, useful blade combo. Despite being small, the 2 blade Jack doesn't feel toy-like. Yeah, all stainless would be immensely better but they won't do that...

 

[Ted01]

Peanut style knife. Did anyone used to make them with a third blade, a small Wharncliffe, coming off the same spring as the pen blade? Or maybe just make the secondary blade a Wharnie. Some kind of dark jigged bone for the cover.

 

[Camillus]

The Case peanut trapper might be close to what you are describing

 

[greentrout]

Can someone please help me. Havery the forum knives all shared a similar tang stamp over the years?

 

[needler420]

I doubt there will be a 2018 forum knife being as the year is half over already and the discussion just coming back up.

The tradition is dead lol.

 

[NJBillK]

As far as Manufacturers go, has anyone thought if Manly Knives?

They have already made one modern bladeforums knife, and I would be willing to bet they would be up for making another.

They make a slip joint, work with wood slabs, and will probably use Micarta, and use a range of alloys (mostly stainless from S35Vn to S90V). While th S90V might be overkill, I can see S35Vn working well, and stainless blades are fine, since folks wouldn't know one stainless from another, so the grade/alloy wouldn't really matter, as per the rules of the forum.

We will either have a forum knife this year or we won't.
I'm not sure why you're loling about it.

Since 2010 they have. The 2010 stamp started out with 10 dots and 1 dot is removed each consecutive year. Similar to the dating system that Case uses.

If there is a 2018 forum knife it would have 2 dots on the tang.

I could definitely get behind a #14 BF knife like this!

I looked through the forum rules and didn't see anything about not discussing different steels. Did I miss something? I'll agree with you so long as the stainless is decent, but I draw the line long before you get to 420J2.

If you missed something, so did I. I'd be curious to know what that rule is myself.

 

[greentrout]

I have reached out to someone associated with Buck, and I will say there is interest there on working with us.
