Their nerves are shot,
Wills weak, wallets sweating...
There's a sheepsfoot on their minds already,
Great Eastern's vetting.
They're curious,
But the forumites are more than ready
To cast votes,
Cause they don't know what they're getting...

I am astonished.
Reading about the CITES schedule II, it is apparent that it would be illegal to send such commercial items across international borders. I guess it would break the law to send a Cocobolo knife to Canada. That is if the postal officials in either country were diligent.
genus-wide restriction on all Dalbergia species

its going to limit the choices severely....or no one outside the States will be allowed to get one....
Australian postal officials....not the posties mind you....make the Gestapo look like stoned hippies.
Still...at least thats better than NZ postal officials who read at kinder level and have the wrong address of Wellington post office on their website..but thats another story.
 
OK, folks. The poll is closed and it's pretty obvious that the choice for this year's Traditional Forum Knife is the GEC 86. We'll get up another poll as soon as we're able to finalize some of the other choices we have, which are pretty much unknown to me right now.
I'll leave this thread open so you can continue the discussion. It'll probably be closed when the new poll is started.
 
Thank you, Gary. Lots of productive discussion in this thread. It's been a great ride and it's only just getting started.

I only still have one forum knife in my possession. It's last year's Buck 301. When I handle that knife the very first thing I think about is all the fun we had participating in the numerous polls that eventually resulted in the finished product. Those memories mean just as much to me as the knife itself. Even more if I'm being honest.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that these polls and the voting process are a friggin' blast! I may not have kept every forum knife that I've purchased but I sure did have fun being a part of it. When I joined this forum I never dreamed in a million years that I would have opportunities to take part in the creation of a knife.

Let the good times roll!

I'd like to see GEC bring back one of their old jigging patterns, like Grizzly Burnt, for this knives. Their old jigging was gorgeous.
 
Voted for Buck.. NO GEC for me.. Good Luck on the next venture..:D
