Behold, the 2023 BladeForums Traditional Forum Knife

[Crag the Brewer]

How do we know how many postings we have, and WHEN they were?

This will be three years of trying, and I STILL think I'm not qualified????

 

[EngrSorenson]

THAT'S A WINNER.
ORDER 600 OF THEM.
LETS DO THIS.

No more thinking required.
I absolutely need that knife.

 

[Modoc ED]

That'll work.

 

[kamagong]

A GEC Norfolk pattern with pinched and lined bolsters? Looks awesome.

Thank you for this Spark .

You have almost 80 posts here, so shouldn't be an issue, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Is the closed blade in the middle pic/rendering an accident? Looks like they forgot to eliminate it for that particular rendering.

Thanks.... my time might be an issue (this year?)

I feel the knives I make are traditional styled looking....... So I post my works there, but I became a maker here in Feb, I think?...... So I'm late, again...... My mom would say "A day late, and a dollar short."

Like last year, you will need to be an active member of the Traditional forum to purchase these (25+ posts in this forum, member since before Jan 1, 2023) or have a Gold or higher membership.

Looks like you meet all the requirements either way

But you joined the site in 2018. If the 25 Porch posts have to be before Jan 2023 then yes you are like 10 shy. But given your overall participation I would be surprised if you weren't allowed.

Yes that looks like a rendering error, this is a two blade design

 

[TXGatorbait]

Looks like a special offering indeed!

 

[birdsbeaks]

Let's go! Looks like a winner! Hopeful that this will be my very first Blade Forums Knife after only 16 years of membership!

Is that a Norfolk pattern really? How did they called it?

 

[TOM K.]

Great design and I definitely prefer natural materials!

 

[mrknife]

interesting!

 

[TheIncredibleHoke]

YES!!! Super happy about this one.

Here's a good read:

Norfolk history?

After admiring the photo's of the Norfolk pattern, can someone fill me in on the history behind the pattern? Did it really originate in the Norfolk area? When did it appear in any Sheffield company listings?
