Ongoing Details for the 2016 Bladeforums knife.

That Remington brown would be great. Loving everything about this.
 
This looks like such a fantastic knife! :thumbup:

Is it safe to assume that it will be 1095 carbon steel?
 
Looks good :thumbup:

It was indeed closer to 350 knives last year.

So a little more info on this year's knife; here are renderings of the engineering drawings:

Bill would like to make us some worm-groove handles. Here is an example of a Robeson of similar pattern. These are worn and faded. Our handles would have much denser jigging, with a rich brown color!!

Here is a drawing/comparison of the source for the #35 pattern!!!

" As a reminder - the knife in discussion is most likely a 3 and 3/4" equal end knife, most likely with a single spring, main blade on one end, and a punch/awl on the opposite end. "

Yes it is the "most likely" that is prompting my question at this stage in the game :)
 
The simple bar shield, single spring construction, 1095 steel, threaded(lined) bolsters. It's gonna be a good'un!!

Charlie, you never fail to impress. Those renderings literally make my mouth water.

If herding cats was a profession, you would be the best in the business.

Well done, yet again, my friend.
 
I'm hoping Bill can do a 'longways' worm groove in these, as some previous jigging has had a sort of 'sideways' groove. However they come out, I'm positive they'll be first class and gorgeous!
 
Just to remind you all, these will be forthcoming this fall and will be distributed by Gunstock Jack's again this year. Don't know how much so don't ask, as this won't be determined until final production is close.

I will NOT be checking each and every knife, as that is QC's job at GEC. Shipping alone is a major project, let alone keeping all the orders straight. :)
 
Where do i sign up for one; please put me in the list for one! Raul

Looks fantastic! Threaded bolsters,long pull and brown? Almost everything I'd hoped for is going into this knife.:D I cannot wait to have one in hand. Will we be able to do preorders once we're closer to the release date? Great this is great🙂
Thanks, Neal
