Fav Traditional Forum Knife?

[glocktenman]

What's your favorite trads forum knife and why?

My fav is the barlow with the stag; two blade maybe by Queen. It's my only knife with stag and the stag on my particular one is sweet. I really like the BF on the bolster. The wharn blade is great looking too. I don't recall the year we had these made but it is a great one.

Northwoods stockman - don't have one though

It's a toss up for me, Randy. The Barlow is right up there but I think it's edged out by the 2007 Cannitler from Canal Street.

Boy Randy, tough choice but this one (2013)? Irish Jack comes to mind

 

[kamagong]

This one is easy, it's not even a contest. To put it simply, the 2014 Stag Jack is the best of the forum knives.

Last year's TC Barlow is the best for me. Alot of strong contenders. The 13 Congress Jack, 14 stag jack and the 11 teardrop are all excellent. If I worked in an office, the first forum knife Canal Street stag ring knife would suit me until retirement.

Only had the one from 2017 (until this year!), but I’ve always liked the looks of the Stag Jack.

I can't decide on just one.
Too many patterns I like.

Edit:
I suppose my favorite will be the 2018, Buck 301, since it will be the only one I'm likely to ever own.

2012 Saddle Trapper -- Bellied and straight FFG blades, threaded bolster, barehead, nice bone, domed pins, bomb shield, .

 

[joeradza]

That's the easiest question to answer for me. The 2014 Stag.

 

[pistonsandgears]

There have been some really great ones. I always like seeing the 2 blade Queen barlow but have not found one. I have been curious about the little ring opener. I really like the 85 with the cap lifter. But I would have to give the nod for favorite to the 2014 stag jack.

While I'm only fortunate enough to currently own the '17 BFTC (Thanks, Randy!), I really do fancy the little Ring Opener from CSC in 2006.

2014 design and material

Great thread

Looking forward to more pics!

Waiting in anticipation for pics of the '06 CSC and the '11 teardrop.

I've only the 13 (thanks again, Will) and the '18 Buck, in the pipe.

Well.. As a general rule I don't buy/own Forum, Club, etc knives.. But I did order the 2018 BUCK 301 because its a BUCK and a pattern I do edc.. Sooo.. The 2018 BF Forum knife is going to be my Favorite!!! John

If anyone has the northwoods stockman, could you post dimensions and photo if possible. I tried to search for old thread but couldn't find it .

 

[MerryMadMonk]

2014. I love the 77 pattern and it's the only forum knife that I use (that will probably change when I get the 2018 Buck).

 

[Henry Beige]

I only have the last two, both of which are wonderful knives. If I had to pick, I’d have to say the 2017 barlow. The natural micarta really works for me.

 

[oldtymer]

2014 - appearance, fit & finish, variety of covers.

I only have the GEC 35 from 2016, but it’s a favorite. And I carry it regularly.
