Much appreciated Mike.

 

[Half/Stop]

Thanks Mike!

 

[Spaten]

Thanks Mike! I voted gunstock.

 

[Captvideo]

Gunstock might be very interesting. Different. Any photos?

I voted Swinguard Spear 4" It's pulling up the rear in this poll.

I voted Swinguard Spear 4" It's pulling up the rear in this poll.

That's how I voted. Why not get something new?

 

[Cvrobinson]

“In” for 2 regardless of the model, but like the Swayback Wharncliffe option
Only 298 more commitments needed

Same for me, I have been stalking the CK site trying to decide on a purchase so this will make my decision much easier

Voted barlow, mainly because it's not been well represented in past forum knives.

Although, that swayback!!!

2009 and 2017 were both Barlows.

The Lionsteels are rather modern looking to my eye, but a wildly varying, natural material like ram's horn might balance that out.

The swing guard got my attention, lock back preferred (assuming there is a choice about that).

Thanks Mike.

mikeMike, you are the best! I appreciate all you do to make this happen, especially in a year like we have had this year. Barlow with a clip is my pick but I'm in no matter what the offering. Thanks again!

I own a couple of the Lionsteel knives. The drop point knife has the nail nick placed too far back on the blade which makes it (very) difficult to open. This is because the thumb nail’s access is blocked by the covers and the pull strength is increased by the placement.

The other blade is both pinchable and far more accessible. A pleasure to deploy.

Whichever blade gets chosen, it would be best to pick one to avoid this issue so as to avoid disappointment on the porch.

A good point, well explained.

I'd like to see a spear or drop point

 

[Jathes]

I would like to vote for gunstock twice...

Something new.

 

[Captvideo]

I placed a vote for the gunstock. Something new for a Forum knife 2020.

 

[Shurke]

Big thanks for even considering this, Mike.

I've got my fingers crossed for a swayback forum knife.

That's right, I forgot about 2017...

 

[fishface5]

Many many thanks you bold man of action!!

Barlows, pfeh they are everywhere, a swinguard would be fresh new lively, effervescent!

Since that won't happen my second choice is a bolus.

One more onto the pile here: thank you Mike for opening this thread and offering your time and effort.

I have never thought much of the modern traditionals but I certainly appreciate good craftsmanship in any form. After a little more research I have warmed to the idea and put my vote in for a sowbelly, which I think would look lovely with horn covers. Regardless, I will likely buy at least one of whichever model is selected.

I look forward to the long discussion thread(s) on this topic to come!

The Swayback Wharncliffe would make for a very memorable knife.
