Maybe, but you got a special knife at a bargain price remember?

Any knife that GEC makes as a Forum Knife will have to be part of their production schedule, they cannot now produce an entirely new pattern and only offer it to the Forum and keep it 90-125 USD. The good news is that there are bound to be re-runs of interesting patterns (LIKE WHITE OWL SPEAR

) which will give a fine basis for something decent and special.
Some people have expressed concerns that the Forum Knife has come to generate rude behaviours or boorish attitudes. Don't actually agree, disagreement, debate, controversy are healthy and I think these disagreements have always been conducted with politeness AS THEY SHOULD be. What could be changed is the manner of any polls. A kind of puerile aspect creeps in

I wanna be on the winning side!! Changing my vote 3 times....Polls should be run so that you must think carefully about what you want NOT what you think is going to 'win' and no changing your mind

makes for a faster more rapid result, and less bickering
