I haven't been here as long as many, but I have read and enjoyed a lot of the posts of The Porch's past.
There have been some beautiful, unique knives made via collaboration of some wise, generous, and dedicated folks over the past several years. While I've been active here, there's been a GEC pattern premier #35, and the infamous TC Barlow made available to us. Looking at other member's complete collections show an array of various folders that would make most enthusiasts jealous.
I'd hate to see this tradition of great folders end for any reason. I'd be very welcome to an annual BF Fixed blade knife, but not as a replacement for a folder.
