When do we get to do some voting on types, styles, and countries of origin suggested thus far? Or are we still a ways from that?
 
What ever is decided will be great. I’ve become so obsessed with Sheffield knives that I had to order one. It wasn’t a lamb foot. Instead, it’s a twin blade (c70 carbon steel)with 5300 year old bog wood scales. It was somewhat of a blind buy, but I didn’t care. My next one is a more educated buy. Worst case, this will definitely get used.

Here’s a not great image.

So I was just thinking, if we were to go the Sheffield route, would it be possible to get a rope knife (especially if we could get one with a marlin spike). I know I flog this horse at least a little every year, but seriously, it is a super traditional pattern, and not one I see much of these days. And Sheffield has made some of the most historic and lovely examples of the rope/sailor/boat/rigging knives. And if we went the Sheffield route maybe we could actually get a stainless one that I could use around saltwater!

Anyway, it was a thought. What do you think Jack Black Jack Black , would it be a possibility?

Yes, it could be done, they still make a lot of those knives in Sheffield :thumbsup:
 
A fixed blade would be great. But right now I think our best bet is a Sheffield made knife. Everything Jack has been saying that pretty much anything would be a go sounds good to me!
 
When either Frank or Gary or both make a post telling us who will be handling the 2019-Blade Forums Knife details, ordering and mailing, then the polls on who should make the knife, what the knife should be, etc. will begin. Until then, all this is just a cluster. That said, it fun though.

While I'd prefer a US made fixed-blade, we could certainly have a Sheffield-made one if that's what people wanted. If it is decided to go with Sheffield, my thoughts would be single-blade, carbon steel, wooden covers, brass liners, nickel silver bolsters :thumbsup:

It is fun!
 
The thing about knife forums is that the members like to discuss knives. Just seems natural to me to speculate about the 2019 BF Club Knife of the Year - it is the pinnacle event of the traditional sub-forum each year - even if it turns into a Charlie Foxtrot it will be an interesting, enlightening, and fun CF! I like the idea of an English Made pocketknife but then I also like the Germans, Italians, Swiss, and Spaniards too. OH

I agree. But it is fun to read. Actually, though it will cause my brain to be more damaged than it is to keep reading this stuff. I have to develop other interests.
