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

GEC is busy making knives for a lot of dealers and clubs. Beginning to look like there's no room at the inn for us this year, at least not at GEC.

A man with as much history as you have should know there’s still plenty of time left in the year!

I bet it’s coming, and I bet it’ll have “FLIPPER BAIT” scrawled across the yellow delrin covers with a dremel and a big old 6 digit serial number stamped right into the main blade.

I was thinking today (dangerous activity according to my wife) and I was thinking of all the smaller cutlery companies that might be able to do a run of knives. And I wondered if Grohmann knives would be able to do a run? That would be a nice addition.

Kinda like what’s happening in this thread? 😁

I’m only a couple of “cool knife bro”’ posts away from getting my post count over the line.

I'm thinking I'd be happy with any forum knife as long as it's not an SAK, but I'd still prefer traditional over modern, and fixed over folding. Maybe some peeps like David Mary or Navman and REK, or a dozen others, could compete for making the 2024 forum fixie?

EDIT - And how could I leave out mentioning Horsewright, CPK and Lorien?!?

Has the forum knife ever been a fixed blade before?

If I were Spark I wouldn’t tell us till a week before the knife actually drops, to discourage drama, post-padding, and the other usual antics. (Just saying ;) )

It's fun to have a poll or have a little input on the knife. But the back and forth can be a bit daunting also. Those that are doing all the planning and work to make it happen probably have a membership with a hair club to replace what they pull out. I'm totally fine with a surprise, here it is guys, buy it, or don't. I'm good to sit back and wait to see.

I hadn't thought about that, but it would definitely hamper the flood of random incoming strangers that crop up around the forum knife.

It never occurred to me before, but a fixed knife would be a great idea! And as you point out, there are more manufacturers available to make one than a traditional slipjoint.
 
The fixed blade idea has come up most years that I've been around here and likely before that as well. One of the concerns surrounding such an offering is that it can put limitations on some buyers, particularly international members who might have more draconian knife laws in place.

That said, I'm all for a fixed blade option but not at the cost of our international members who risk missing out. One of the nice things about a simple slipjoint is that it is relatively benign.
