Have I not done enough already?
It isn't the work of creating a design, it is seeking the approval of a group....hate that....if it was up to me, the knife would have a Queen tang stamp and "2009" bolster stamp...but the group voted another way, which is fine.
If I do the bolster stamp, have to prepare at least 3-4 designs and listen to a bunch of crying, which I am just about fed up with. That said, if no one else steps up in about 2-3 days, I'll do it, just to get it done.
Best Regards,

D.,
No apologies necessary, just thought I would expound/vent on my distaste for creation by committee.
Bottom line is that if none of these lads step up to the plate, I'll wind up doing it anyway, distaste or not.

+:thumbup:...I LikeLooks great!
Box and payment will go out this week. My only preference is for "2009" instead of "MMIX". Everything else is left to those voters more well versed in traditional knives.
Sorry, sir, but we got out-voted. It's going to be MMIX instead of 2009.
It looks good to me Steven, and thank you.
I think it looks good in design but the proportions look off. I dont think it will fit on the bolster properly without significantly reducing the relative size of the year and moving it closer to the BFC logo. I'd say that the width of the year should not be much more than the height of the B.
That would look something more like this I think..
