perhaps get someone willing to produce a sharpfinger pattern? could you imagine!??Something resembling a Fiddleback Babyboot or one of those John April pocket Lovless's. The year of the fixed blade is upon us.
I am always going to want a stainless Whaler, or Rope Knife w/marlin spike,
The 29 is something I've been waiting for - for quite awhile, and may be the only thing to supplant the 92 Jack as my favorite.
That being said, I think the 29 in any 3 blade configuration would be tough to keep at $100. Perhaps we could ask for leniency regarding that rule, or shoot for a 2 blade instead.
The 86 is a fine looking pattern as well, and I could be on board for that as a BF knife if that's what materializes as the favorite.
Do we know if the 29 is 3 spring or splitback? I like it, but want to know more about the punch.
I like the 86 too! I say a special shield of some kind for sure.
