Splendid idea! Sign me up. OHHow about a Reproduction of one of the old Remington fixed blade hunting knives? Mushroom caps, stacked leather handle.
I wish they made less with blade adornment/writing. It's so personal, it seems more at risk to turn people off I don't get why it's so popular. I am always tempted to take em off.If GEC make it, it will be whatever GEC is making at the time, with some cover variation and some special writing on the blade.
This could be your year!Well, just for the record:
Glitter Gold PunchNut!
I think it usually was vice versa: GEC makes a PPP for a new forum knife, and then they are making a regular run of it in different variations. But I don't know, maybe you are right.If GEC make it, it will be whatever GEC is making at the time
I don't care for blade writing either. So you're not alone. I also don't care for funky names. I don't mind things like lines or whatever, but I certainly don't want much adornment on my knives.I wish they made less with blade adornment/writing.

I like simple clean stuff. I am also personally a little done with the flashy chrome bolster thing. Don't even want the lines or letter on em. A single simple clean like is okay but not needed. Feels too old school or whatever.
I'd love to see a lambsfoot but is that less of a seller or perhaps it's unique and special? Is the point to make money for the site or make a cool knife (or both)?
I am not a huge fan of these exotic blades, razor, spey, tobacco/cotton (whatever that is called). Give me a single drop point. (Two blade max). I've always wondered why the smaller blade is always spear and not a whittle blade. If I have to have a warnie seems more appropriate on the small side but a lamb or sheep small seems more interesting.
Maybe some brushed nickle bolsters (on whatever) and satin blade no writing with something slicey. No shield(?) or simple, acorn, leaf... ,
Some highly figured wood maybe birds eye maple. Simple clean...smooth white bone or white with just accent color/grain fill would also work.
I tend to prefer small to medium slicey blades the most. But I notice the peanut is not getting pocket time while the pocket congress and clerk are. That's the sweet spot.
Trying to up my participation and boost the ole post count a bit, I think commenting does that. 100 on the porch right?
Oh snap I may not meet that requirement this year
