The 2024 F**** K****?

*That guy was a very interesting fellow. I met him doing day labor in my younger years, and found him fascinating. He was exceptionally well read, and basically rode freight trains from college town to college town having philosophical conversations, doing drugs, supporting himself with day-labor, and then wandering on. He was also the most physically fearless person I have ever met. We were demolishing an old shipyard, and he worked with zero regard for his own safety, but I never saw him endanger anyone else. Very interesting, very unusual guy. I liked him, but he certainly isn't someone I would hold up as any kind of positive example. Just one of those particularly memorable people you meet on life's winding road.

That sounds a lot like my brother, minus the drug part. He was a boozer though and had that devil may care approach to life. He had some interesting stories about hopping trains, amongst other adventures (misadventures?).

There are people for whom the standard rooted sedentary life is just a bad fit. It can be very interesting meeting people that just don't fit into standard niches.
 
There are people* who will buy forum knives because they love the Porch regardless of whether its a style they're not especially fond of eg. Hobo knives** or Fishing knives***. Such people are true Porchenbergers.

* me
** me again
*** you guessed it.
 
A Recent search through the undiscovered, long forgotten archives in the Noble and Ancient Porchenberg Library revealed an interesting and compelling old scroll. Scratched upon the Narwhale skin vellum is the Porchenberg motto :
"Cultrum nostrum annuum Porticum habebimus aut damnemur !"
In 1390ad it is said to have been shouted from the battlements of Castle Porchenberg by Sir Roger De Mykons to the Cutlers guild as most of them left in search of cheaper production methods.

I would get on my knees and thank the heavens.
 
Why does it have to be GEC? For the potential for profit, the chance to actually get a GEC, the need to attract more buyers, the decent quality?

I understand it will most likely be a GEC model, based on what is known, but it seems that all other makers are automatically rejected by many (the silent majority is not included in this observation).

Even Boker makes a Hobo knife, that costs very little, and can be engraved with BF 2024, if people want that style of knife. Case does a prettier one too.

I'd like a Viper again :cool: Mike knifeswapper knifeswapper did such a brilliant job of organizing this knife in the most testing of circumstance (COVID blasting off) and it was something different too. Pity Mike can't get his Lamb Foot project off the ground with them or Lionsteel, but what with the recent storm that destroyed his town etc he'll be pre-occupied with other more pressing & less trivial matters. I very much appreciate his work.

Use one of those business gift branding companies.

Throw a blade forum logo on it.

It's been my understanding that Case, for one, automatically rejects us.
We have had a Buck and an Italian Viper.
