There are a few that I know of besides myself, Ted being the one that comes to mind. I'm sure there are others as well. I have been fortunate to get them all, 2009 being special. That was the year I had my open heart surgery right around when the order request dropped. I was able to drag myself out of recovery at home to get my order in the mail for one, LOL. That's what the forum knives mean to me. Here's some pics through the years...

Those are beautiful, thanks for the pics. I might be in the minority here but I actually prefer the two bladed ones.

Sadly, an awful lot of folks have dropped out over the forum knife timeline, for one reason or anotherI'm actually surprised theres so few people that have a full set.

Ted's on vacation right now, and having a good time, judging by his facebook posts.
Unfortunately, being on vacation he's also away from his computer, which has all his BF log ins/passwords. I've messaged him with the details on how to get this years knife. I don't know if was able to. Even if he wasn't, I'm certain for a fact he'll be able to get one from someone who did. This year's clusterfail of a "release" has prompted many who weren't otherwise absolutely certain about getting one to buy one (in lieu of an unqualified Johnny-come-lately) for those who weren't able or quick enough, given that there was no advance notice to prepare for or set up proxy buyers. One way or another, he will get one.

As I said earlier if need be I'll volunteer mine, so he can keep his position as "curator" as someone put it
Hey Jack, I was around in 2013, but wasn’t really active at all on The Porch. Could you provide some insight as to why it was a controversial knife?The Congress/Irish Jack was a particularly slow seller. Nice knife, but both controversial, and expensive

I have to say, I never really liked that combination of blades on a Barlow!You missed a nice one!
I wasn't a regular poster here then, but I do remember Wharncliffe blades being very much in vogue. The first knife I could have purchased was the 2012, but I didn't like that much either Kind of wish I'd bought one, and had a blade delete done Doesn't that say a lot?
Saying it was controversial is probably a huge understatement. We nearly lost the project, until Charlie stepped in the following year. I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I say anymore

I don't know the history of that knife, wasn't around back then.
But I will say it is my favorite Forum Knife when I look at all the pictures.
I'm one of those guys.
I said I wasn't going to buy one, and meant it.
But I snagging one to make sure it ended up in the hands of one of our regulars that missed out.
