No problem, I'm learning as I go. I tried to do a vantage but it was aggravating me and gave up for now.

Have you tried the "clone stamp" tool yet, then the "spot healing" tool?

Photoshop is amazing, but the learning curve can be pretty steep! You're doing a fine job though!

I would definitely be interested in this, but I'm not sure how I feel about the big logo on the handles whether it be a simple logo or shield. I've always disliked the 50th anniversary 110s for this exact reason. I think a nice tang stamp would be sufficient. It would be subtle as to not detract from the over all looks but still be clearly visible.
I hope this project goes through, though....

My understanding is that the dies for a tang stamp are not particularly cheap, probably not $$$ practical for low production.
 
Ah, spot healing, not yet. Clone stamp I think I did for removing the scale pins on the last one.



Img redo attempt.

I just had an email exchange with the owner of the bladeforum. He told me that dealers are not allowed to use the bladeforum name. So, as for SKBlades creating an official bladeforum knife that refers to the forums, it sounds like a no go. I can still do a forum specific knife like we are with our knife contest, but no where can it mention the bladeforums on the knife. Basically SKBlades could get a knife going for just you all in the Buck Forum but it would be unofficial and not be branded at all by bladeforum.

Any thoughts?

Thanks so much for your efforts on this project.

My thought, questions really, would be...how did others get theirs? Is this a new policy? Is it just that a dealer can't do the leg work? What if one member of our forum did the leg work? Preston

I think that is the solution. If someone from the forum worked directly with Buck Knives or the Forum itself went to Buck to get this going, I think that is the only way to have an official knife made.
 
think any great custom designed buck is still a great thing . doesnt need to be a bladeforum labeled one. im liking many of these unique bucks y'all dealers make.
 
How, then, does the Traditional Knives subforum manage to get knives made with Bladeforums stamped on the tang?

pretty sure inidividual or group of participants get it done with the maker, rather than a dealer which skblades is, remember the site owner here is a dealer as well.

the issue is a dealer using another dealer who owns this sites name.

now if it was called and stamped, engraved, whatever as the "bf buck forum" or " buck forum" etc knife or whatever without trademark or copyrights etc etc violations...that might fly, but im no lawyer and im not the site owner who might not care for that. all would have to be properly vetted, etc.
 
As has been mentioned before, the traditional group of this forum have been getting special order knives done for several years.
They are stampe Blade forums on the mark side of the tang and the manufacturers name is stamped on the pile side of the tang.
I believe Charlie Waynorth made the arrangements with the manufacturer last year.
Perhaps someone would like to contact him and get the particulars of how this is done without breaking any rules here.
 
Having Bladeforums stamped on the tang would be great, but something else would work, and my preference is for something straight forward and not too busy. Either a 112 or 110 would be my first choice, but any of the BUCK pocket knives (prefer it fits in my watch pocket) would also work.

Don't forget the cover & sheath.

Well as you may already know we have now answered this question and how it works. Technically, we COULD do a Buck BF knife.

If we were to be able to get this done, my vote would be for a 110 with a long pull and special steel.
 
To me every knife we vote on is a forum knife. I don't want one with BF on it.
