BladeForums 2024 Traditional Knife

Sadly, it is possible for a vendor to take repeated charges from your paypal account. I learned that the hard way when I used paypal to pay for something, and the following month I got dinged again for the same amount. I discovered that Paypal was allowing it, and I had to remove that vendor from authorized payees in my paypal account (in essence I had to blacklist them). I disputed the charge and got my money back.

OK so I asked PP about this, here is the answer-
if you make a one time payment without agreeing to any subscription then you will not be charged without authorization.

However, please do read for any terms with merchant's website if they are processing any subscription for automatic payment. If there is no such terms and condition then the payment will be a one time transaction.

So no vendor can make subsequent charges without authorization unless you have signed up for any sort of subscribed payments, like maybe automatic renewal of forum membership....

I'll butt in here, though neither Peregrine nor I have anything to do with this year's forum knife. But we have in previous years and know a LOT more about the limitations of what can be done than you do.

In past years we've investigated doing a Case BF knife. Case required a minimum order of 500 knives. And the knife we end up with would be a standard pattern with a custom etch on the blade. There is not the market for 500 such knives. Spark can sell 500 GEC knives because of the uniqueness, build quality, and market desirability of anything that GEC makes. There is not a market for 500 Case knives. There just isn't.

Have a nice life.

You're probably right, but I would buy the Case ($100 cap); I won't spend $250 for a GEC. I know many will, and it is a beautiful knife. Looking forward to seeing them.

Indeed. Even though I personally prefer non-GECs because I don't like carrying carbon steel knives, I am definitely in the minority here. A stainless steel case knife would be right up my alley, but on years that we don't do a GEC there aren't nearly enough "do-I-qualify?" posters to get the demand up over 500.

I could promise to buy two Case forum knives (heck, I'd promise to buy five if they did a scout pattern), but that wouldn't make up the shortfall.

Somewhere before this, they mentioned a case bladeforums knife would basically just be a normal case that is engraved. You could just order one from DLT or KSF and get an engraving of the bladeforums logo 😂

How about a silhouette of Texas? [Not joking. No state--or country, except maybe Italy--has a better shape.]

When it happened to me I did not agree to a subscription.

Here, I'll start you off:

It was a dark and stormy night. The dark of despair, the dark of uncertainty, Would it happen? Will it happen? Can we bear it? Then, with a mighty boom! And with a mighty CRACK! A flash of light reveals it, the 2024 F**** K****!

I made a one time purchase from them. Apparently, they took license to change it to a subscription.
