A 2016 Forum Knife. An apology, and The Crossroads!

Updated my spreadsheet - Ive got 94 names down so far. The top idea is still the single spring equal end in some variant, followed by the lambsfoot!
 
I have no preference on the style but I'd love to get in on this. You guys choose and count me in. Having a forum knife would be very cool!

Ok on this one. Clip main blade too!!! And 3,75 length :thumbup::thumbup:

Something along this line EE single spring 3.5"

Very good indeed. A small Wharncliffe as secondary might not go amiss with this pattern either.

Here's GEC's White Owl with some nice bone and acorn shield, food for more thought....

While I would absolutely love it if we produced this knife with a wharncliffe secondary blade(or sheepsfoot/ coping for that matter). I just feel that it would be to much like last years knife. I just think we should try to keep each knife as unique as possible, which is why I'm also against the caplifter( well, that, and I don't drink anymore:D ).
 
I see your point, but the 15 knife had Clip & Sheepfoot and was Shadow Serpentine. This year would be Equal End, bolstered, Spear master, Wharncliffe or small clip secondary. Not really similar?

I too don't favour any bottle opener (I still drink a good deal..) it's been done on the 11 knife and has appeared in many variations of the 15 since. Having a tool on a single-spring knife might be tricky as they usually have to be thicker stock, or so I imagine.

Thanks, Will
 
Don't usually see shields on a Lambsfoot I believe? could work though but I think a special bolster would be better.
 
stick with a punch or awl as secondary, although the split spring awl/caplifter and main (clip or something with a lower point in relation to the blade) is an interesting idea and unusual. why not a shield with a blade forums logo? :) never hurts to advertise. didn't they used to make knives that did that?;) thanks, Neal

Good points, and like I said, if that knife came out I would be over the moon with joy. My most carried knife is the presidential.
I was just referring to the whole single spring with straight edge secondary proposal. However, if the majority says that's unique enough for the '16, then I'm all in(for multiples).

Whatever happens, I really hope we take advantage of the option of creating a new pattern from scratch. That would make this knife that much more special.
 
I would definitely be amenable to a classical lambsfoot, with all these old beauties you guys keep teasing us with. :D

I agree Will, no shield with a Very special bolster. And for sure, NO cap lifter:D

The Swayback Jack reminds me of the Lambsfoot...... What about a Lambsfoot Jack, Jigged Bone, Secondary pen, rat-tail bolster? Maybe Ivory Micarta and a shield?
