Behold, the 2023 BladeForums Traditional Forum Knife

[Jacques Mi]

EDIT: A sharp eyed member pointed out that there appears to be a rendering error in the middle picture; they are correct, this is a two blade design, not a 3 blade

I certainly hope that the missing nail nick on the pen blade is a rendering error as well...

OK so what we got is a swell centred Norfolk two blade Upside down
( perfect for Aussies) Surveyor single spring humpback jack....or something....
Thats undeniably a lot of knife for your hard earned pennies.
Especially as its only a glint in its makers eyes at this time...an embryo if you will...imo its lookin ship shape and Bristol fashion...Hoist the bizzen jib and rollock the grissocks...the prize awaits ye who be hardy and strong......oh no its happening again.

OK so what we got is a swell centred Nor folkn beard combing, sausage poking, two blade Upside down
( perfect for Aussies) Surveyor single spring humpback jack.

I’d just like to go on the record as saying this is basically a grail knife for me. To say I am excited would be understating things slightly.

Gonna need a bigger label...

Don't think I'm a big enough person to not notice all the likes that yours got but mine didn't.
It's really no problem.

When a knife maker talks about how knives are designed, people listen.
I'm just a guy who thinks about being a knife maker dreaming of designing knives.

I went back and "liked" yours

 

[BDubbs]

Sorry if asked and answered but is this similar to the Winchester 2935?

 

[abbydaddy]

Wow. Pulling out all the stops on this one.

I mean, I hope they don't pull out all the stops. I'd like to have half stops...

 

[rishma]

How’s this?

Perfect. Thank you!

I know the ordering thread isn't set up yet...figure of speech and Sparks even thinking of starting a design label and button thread

No caplifter? ... I'm out because reasons.

I haven’t had a jigged bone since the cattle knife. Don’t have any in this gold/yellow either. Will be a nice addition to the collection

 

[AZCoyote]

Is there a specific reason to have the swell on the back side of these designs? I can't help but think the knife would feel better in hand if the swell was on the side your fingers land on (in a standard grip).

Is it more of a carving type grip that was the intention, so your fingers land on the swelled side?

I actually find the swell on the back of the knife very comfortable to use in hand. I carried the 29 stockyard whittler a good amount and it has a similar swell, makes for a nice ramp for the thumb.

 

[Burnt Stag]

This is looking so good.

 

[rkc2000]

I love the design. Great blade configuration.

I bet the action is going to be snappy on this one.
