The BladeForums 2022 Traditional Knife Thread

draggat sent me number 291. It went directly into my pocket after pictures and a quick sharpen and strop.
The generosity here is amazing. Thank you again, young Sir.

Humble brag, but I make more money using my knives than selling them. 181 still at home.

That 62 looks great. Carving isn't too shabby either.

Slow to post lately, I’ll do better. That may be a resolution I can keep. I got #195 and love everything about it. Action on this is just perfect. Here it is with the forum knives I've been able to acquire in my short time on the porch, got a few more to go, but that’s the fun in collecting right? Thanks to Spark , waynorth , and the amazing folks at GEC for making this knife happen. I really appreciate this forum and the friends I've made here.

I know there were some folks hoping for 420 and of course 315 wants his special number so I was hoping to get one of those to help out a fellow member......so close to both numbers! 415 checking in! LOL

Anyone think about getting a modder to add a shield? I think a "bomb" shield would really be a nice touch.

id do a blade delete before i add a shield

waynorth, thanks for reposting the label image for the Bladeforums 2022 knife. Of course, I saw your repost just after I finally found your original post on page 50 of this thread. No need to pester GEC for a label. Just printed your image out, cut it out, folded it over, and coiled it up in the tube. Do wonder how many went out w/o the back label. Thanks again for all your help, and Spark and Meako for making this forum knife happen. Beautiful knife, except for the modern san serif font on the blade etch. Nothing a little polishing compound, or better yet, some practical use won't fix.

Was anyone looking for #417 before it gets buffed and fresh cutting edges?

is anyone #420 maybe, looking for #479…….already buffed with a fresh cutting edge

I originally was hoping for 420 as it’s my birthday but I’ve happily bonded with 283. I’m glad the bunnies were serialized but the numbers just made for side talk when discussing this superior piece of cutlery.

Now that’s a good one! Are you going to have “DON’T PANIC” engraved on the reverse bolster?

A friend etched it, could have been a bit deeper but it is what it is and that's fine, I didn't panic over it lol

"Don't Panic" has been my signature line over at advrider.com for years

Reminds me of my younger days. When spending the day at the track on my sport bike I only panicked when the braking markers started to look like Jesus.
