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

[meako]

It might also just end up being an argument that goes on for a year straight
Don’t get me wrong, if someone could wrangle the whole porch into agreement, it might make the best knife ever created. But I don’t think a person exists who can do it

I think it was me back in 201..6? 15? When it was wasn't happening ...my suggestion of dumping the whole project in Charlies backyard resulted in the beautiful micarta Barlow....

This would be amazing; it is one of my favorite patterns. I would love to see a new GEC canoe, and I really do not understand why they have not made any since the 2012 release.

I too have been waiting for another run of those!

We do movie night on Friday with the kids, last night was ice age. felt this was quite fitting for this thread mid August.

So is the consensus that something is probably in the works, or that this may just not be our year?

Wait...what? You are asking about consensus on or about a Blade Forum knife? Has there ever been such a thing? I'd say the answer is, yes, well may be, probably not, could be, but then again no.

Does GEC make a fishing knife? Like something with a Wharncliffe or Sheepsfoot main blade, a scaler & a marlin spike? I'd love a quality fishing knife from them as a forum knife. A Hobo would be great too.

Yes - a #65 fish keeper. Photo from BladeHQ.

It’s probably going to be something on the schedule yet for this year, so who knows? I really believe that the 59 whittler is a sleeper of a gentleman’s knife and would love to see it in real mother-of-pearl. Otherwise, I’d like to see a larger knife in stainless with a shielded Pennsylvania elk handle, such as a 74, 86 or 92.

 

[Viper84]

Since we’re throwing out all our demands, I think the 2024 forum knife should be an 88 in a stockman configuration.

 

[DavidABQ]

I personally don’t think that there will be one this year. I hope that I am proven wrong!

Maybe this thread is part of a sociology study.
How many people will come back how many times over how long a period, to speculate and fantacise about a possible future treat, on the strength of a couple of hints from a non-ultimate authority ?

I think I remember Spark himself mentioned, after the '23 forum knife was out, that there was already a negotiation about '24 one. Wonder if those sheeps at the "end of the hall" pic have to do something with it...

I think I said the same thing a couple weeks ago. The sheep at the end of the hall pic has been used and removed a couple times, maybe getting pushed back for some reason, could be something to do with us?

 

[akaMatt]

I had the same thought. But… are they sheep or lambs?

Been a few runs of sheep in recent times, no lambs for couple of years so maybe the latter?

 

[Jody744]

39 Harness Jack, clip point main with long pull and wicked swedge.

 

[Charr]

If it does end up being a lambs foot, that would be amazing. I’ve been wanting to get one for a while now and I could imagine a better first!
The Guardians have been doing a lot of good work spreading that pattern

 

[Matt_WY]

With the upcoming City Stock knife, I’m hoping for some variation of the 81 pattern as this years forum knife….ebony scales, would be a good starting point.

Exactly. How many times will I imagine it’s a big single blade spearpoint with a white/butterscotch bone handle. The answer for the analysts is “many”.
