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

I just love a good thread derailment as you know.
Lets try to get these wheels back on the rails.....meanwhile has anyone seen my latest epic
"Our Man Sandstone" ?
A riproaring ,not for the fainthearted, jet propelled thriller in which Sandstone( international knife collector) disguised as a Hobo infiltrates the GEC rendevous, is collared by security,escapes and using his Case Hobo knife is able to download the specs for the 2024 Forum knife and make his getaway only seconds before the goons break the door down...only to find the entire system corrupted by a bug that makes the mainframe honk like a sickly Narwhale....
Heres what one critic said:
"It's a flop. I give it a 4. The only redeeming feature is the superbly acted scene where that genius guy is doing the label...both incredibly emotional and tragic as well as uproariously ,sidesplittingly hilarious at the same time."

ABORT ! ABORT ! the system has been compromised......yeajh yeah I know...we live in a world of non original remakes....no more scantily clad bimbos...no more hard drinking, chain smoking heroes who can outrun Eliobe Kipchoge and then flog a troup of armed martial arts experts....No those days are long gone I'm afraid.
Hey..but at least in these enlightened and more tolerant times we have Beyonce the scantily clad yet computer savvy wonder stoat..😝😅

Oh man, I had missed this thread because of the title. Now I have a lot of catching up to do. I go ahead and make my pro forma annual plea for a Whaler, Boat Knife, and/or Scout Knife.

Now that is out of the way, I will get back to reading through the posts so that I get caught up. The start of this thread is always fun. It usually doesn't turn into a swamp of madness and despair until later on.

the voting really stuck in people's craw, but in my opinion it was super fun, and every time I carry that knife I think about all the laughs I had.
It really created quite a commotion, too, which is always fun. I like to see people engaged.

I can't say that I share the same enjoyment. Having been the recipient of a few less than pleasant PMs during the last time we held votes and such, I don't care to go through it again. I offended a fair number of people apparently and without any ill intent on my part. I am not in a rush to risk a repeat performance.
 
After 9 pages of discussion, I'm glad we can all coalesce around one final contender: an #81 Abilene Stockman with square ends, and a serrated coping blade in lieu of a spey blade.

-OR-

Same as above, but with a punch instead of a spey blade.

I'm glad we could all come together for such a momentous decision.

The voting gave me my all time favorite traditional Knife, the 2015 Serpentine Birds Eye. But it also got very toxic in later years. Too many folks got emotionally committed to their choices. When people don't consider other choices valid, they have a hard time dealing with unfavorable outcomes.

I'd be all for a punch as a secondary, I've never been able to grab a knife with one that I've liked to date.

I don’t think it’d work again. The amount of belly aching about the voting that I’ve read since 2021 leads me to conclude I was part of a minority that enjoyed playing a small part in the forum knife.

It was destined to head there. Unless people rise above themselves, that’s where it’ll always end up. Voting is nothing compared to the angst that the forum knife itself can generate.

But hey… babies and bathwater and all that.
