Thanks for taking it on yet again Charlie! I'm definitely in if it comes about, looks like a very pocketable pattern to have on hand.
 
Charlie! We are fortunate this fell into your lap. Designing and manufacturing knives that tip their hat to something specific in the past represents GEC at their best, in my opinion. This homage will be well-received, I'm sure.

I'm definitely in if it comes to fruition.
Thank you for your willingness.
 
Charlie,

Brilliant looking forum knife. Really like the swedged clip blade on the mock up. Please count me in for this when the time comes. Thank you so much for putting this option on the table.

Well, a pleasant surprise! I thought the bunny knife idea wasn’t favoured, so very pleased that rabbit is back on the menu and thanks Charlie from Australia!

And of course, thanks that we have a forum knife.

And fitting that a bunny knife is a .22

I like the match to a traditional pattern a lot, but I wonder if the etch could be more similar in style to W.JNO Baker, or Rodgers, i.e. with font that is more square. It’s just flavoursome for that era and for that knife.

I think you'll get your wish on the etch. I just talked to GEC's art wizard, and asked for one that fit in with the "antiques" I have shown in post number one!!
Flavoursome indeed!! :)

The knife has four pins when open and three when closed. What kind of sorcery is this?!

JK! Probably a rendering error!

I'm in for one assuming I qualify. Thanks for doing this again Charlie!

What are the covers on these typically made of? I would love to see these with black micarta for the synthetic covers!

Three pins, four pins; less pins, more pins!!
It'll still prep a Bunny!! Ha Ha
Sue was just keeping with tradition, maintaining the appropriate number of typos!! 😂

Yeah, I joined a long time ago but just recently started visiting on a regular basis. I guess that’s why I was considering myself a newb

Some years ago, settling Australians thought introducing rabbits to their environment would be a good idea, providing a ready source of food in an ideal climate. Too good an idea as it turns out; they rabbits quickly over-ran the country!!!
But it did provide a great opportunity for the cutlery industry!!View attachment 1863518View attachment 1863520View attachment 1863521
In chatting them up with GEC over the last few years, Bill has come around with a proposal for us, for a 2022 Bladeforums knife!!
Most of the ones I have seen were 2-blades, with a clip and a pen being the most sought after versions. They also had matte black synthetic handles!!
Here is GEC's offering!!View attachment 1863523A traditional pattern for which I am looking into a new, improved qualification and distribution system!!

I wasn't going to get involved in another BF knife, but It has fallen into my lap!!
Please leave me some simple feedback, and we'll see if this works!!


Last years knife actually worked pretty well, with a small percentage of cheaters and flippers making outsized trouble for us, so I am working on a better system - to be continued!!

Do it any way you want.
Glad to help if I can.
Put me down for 1, or 2 if possible.
