New Information Needed on the 2016 Forum Knife!

[waynorth]

First off, It looks like I am committed to seeing this knife through to completion! I seriously hesitated, but the enthusiasm won me over. Thank you all!

A) I asked Bill about worm-groove jigging! He thinks we can do it. It's an extra step in the process which might cost as much as $1.50 to $2 per knife.

I think he will make an extra effort to make it good looking, as jigging is important to him. He has been a long-time student of the art!

What do you say? Please comment!

B) Do we really need a poll on a long pull? Gathered comments through this process have suggested an overwhelming preference for long pulls.

More comments please!

C) We did a Stainless knife last year, and I love mine!
Let's do Carbon steel this year please! It is way easier to get an acute edge on the punch, IMO.

Carbon steel or a Poll? What say you??

Two of my buttons are carbon steel and long pulls.

Thank you for your efforts and the use of your talents,
Rick

Thanks so much Charlie, I'm for Carbon, long pull and worm bone. Oh, and a bar shield

Best regards

Robin

 

[afishhunter]

Carbon steel is always good.

 

[Txjohn]

Yes carbon, bar shield and long pull. The jigging wouldn't be a deal breaker either way . Thanks Charlie

 

[Shaggy]

Carbon steel, long pull, and bar shield = YES.
For jigging I'd prefer amber pick bone like that used on the #38 Chapman SFO.
Thanks again, Charlie.

 

[Half/Stop]

ALL in
Carbon steel
Long pull
and Bone!!!
where do I sign up!!!!

 

[SA Condor]

A) I definitely feel $1.50-$2 extra per knife would be money well spent for epic jigging, bring it on!

B) I'm indifferent, so I'd be completely behind a long pull . . . Is match strike off the table? Of still within the realm of possibilities?

C) I like stainless, but I'm fine with Carbon too. If this we going to be a Camp/Scout knife, I would be standing firm for SS, but it's not a camp knife, so let's just go with Carbon :thumbup:

Thanks for all your hard work! Bring on the knife

 

[jc57]

A. As long as it looks OK. No one woul know about the extra $2 if you hadn't mentioned it.

B. No poll. Long pull will win so what's the point.

C. Yes, there should be a poll for steel type.
