The traditional forum's knife has become, well a tradition, the anticipation of waiting for the knife to arrive always started with the idea, the question at the very beginning was what kind of knife do we want? Something different of course, something unique, something that was a consensus of the members. I think we've managed to maintain that every year so far.
We've had some rough years coming to that consensus at times but overall I think we've gotten close every year. I think each year's knife benefited from the process and the evolution of the current knife is a direct reflection of those lessons learned.
I want to thank everyone whose ever been involved since the inception of the Traditional Forum knife and the members who have supported our community by buying that years knife. Thank You everyone.
For the nay sayers, the ones who didn't get that years knife these pics are for you, so you can see what you've missed, for the ones who through no fault of your own missed out on a particular years knife, these are for you.
Mostly though as a family picture of all the knives together these pics are for reference of the complete set so far.
First the art work which has only gotten better every year starting with the 2006 Canal Street Cutlery Ring Opener on the left through to the 2014 GEC Stag Jack on the right.
