BF2020 Knife from Maniago Poll

[spyderg]

I didn’t see this till just now for some reason? Lol! 13 pages is a lot to search through, can someone tell me if international, (Canadian) BF members will be able to order if this moves forward?

Lets hear it for Stag, Bone or Wood!!

I agree. Let's keep it as traditional as possible. Stag may be too much $$$, I don't think I've ever seen one of those modern-ized traditionals with bone handles, so I'd guess that wood would be our best bet.

Does anyone have a picture of a swayback fully opened? I think they're all half open in the previous pictures. Unless I missed it.

Well my choices were dead last, just like last year. But a swayback wharnie with unique covers and BF etch would be a fine forum knife. Wood is good, but a nice burlap micarta would be sweet as well, while still keeping some of that "rustic" traditional feel.

Hey you know what might look really good on that knife if available would be ancient bog oak! Black with little metallic streaks, perfect! Similar to the above but darker

I'll take two please.

 

[Eli Chaps]

Since this will be a knife essentially propelled by the "traditional folder and fixed" blade group, I hope that a traditional handle material prevails! Besides, you can change them pretty easily if you really want to!!

"Carbon fiber" leaves me cold!!

Well then I selfishly wish for wood.

Viper's stag has been outstanding I would buy two without thinking.

Nice.

JohnDF - I think the knife pictured is bone. It would make a nice Forum Knife.

 

[JohnDF]

I think the knife pictured is bone

Uhhh... Nope.
That's Grey Oak Wood.
And you're right, it would make a nice forum knife.

In for swayback

 

[Matt_WY]

Thrilled that the swayback prevailed. I have one in stag, so hoping for a nice smooth bone or wood....ebony would make a nice working knife. No matter what I’m down for at least one to support the tradition.

 

[William Pace]

I'd like to see some smooth white bone or maybe some ebony covers, I think both would be classy. I also like the idea of being able to change the covers out

 

[JohnDF]

Or we could go full-on modern and get Orange G10 scales.
All kidding aside... I'd totally buy it.

Jeezy Peezy John JohnDF I guess I'm losing it Got an annual check-up appointment with an eye doc in a couple weeks. Guess I need it.

 

[marcus52AR]

My vote is for grey oak wood covers so far. I'm sure I could be swayed with other options tho.

 

[Shurke]

This is fantastic! Will be picking one of these up for sure.
