Forum knives

To me the 2014 (GEC 77 stag) and the 2019 86BF are my two favorites. The 21 barlows are a close third.

Beautiful did Spark ever say what he was gonna do with the rest of them?

I got one of the Satin versions.

Beside being a general traditional knife fan I am a Buck Knife fan, thus was delighted when they were chosen (and agree) to manufacture a special version of the 301 for us in 2018. Two blades instead of the normal three, a flat grind, and upgraded blade steel, and some real variety in the elk handles. Here pictured are the two sides of my smooth variation of elk handles. OH

That 301 is easily one of my favorite knives, and you have a beautiful example there.

What forum knives are they sir?

What forum knives are they sir?

That's the 2023 in acrylic they weren't sold.

 

[Hatchet_Jack]

Ask and ye shall receive.



All the official Traditional forum knives in order with the Eric's Jack at the top. Since the white 86 was only offered to a select few by invitation, I do not consider it an official forum knife.

Thank you, that's the representation I was hoping to see.

I still feel fortunate of that list that my one and only is the bunny. But there are some beautiful close seconds, it really puts into perspective how nice the 2023 is. The stag and 86 are beauties also...well they all are actually!

I haven't talked to him about them in a while, he had a few ideas but with the acrylics being so limited and flippers being so prevalent nothing was decided on the last I knew.

There were 15 acrylics in total, 8 reds and 7 blues consecutively numbered starting with the reds.

From my understanding one of the the reds never left the factory, a lady that works for GEC received one leaving 7 each of the red and blues out in the wild.

Woohoo!!! Just got this one!

Didn't get the box or paper work so don't know the story if any but...a piece of the BF history nevertheless...

I believe it is the 2015 forum knife by Canal Street! Sorry for the checkered shadow from the windows screen...

Wanted to share my excitement!

The whitebone 86 barlow was hard to find. A mysterious listing showed up on the bay a few years back and I snapped it up as fast as I could.

good luck with your search

I managed to find one in the end , cost me an arm and a leg , but was worth it to complete the set

The 2025 Rendezvous knife was a stainless 86 Barlow with elk handles.
