The unofficial, non binding, carries no weight, 2020 forum knife possibility discussion thread

Elgatodeacero · Apr 30, 2020

We need a forum knife more this year than anytime in the past.

I’d wager 2 Moras and a Spyderco that we will get something good.

But “that idiot's insane gibberings about olden day voyages or laboratories” is my favorite part of the whole process!

Maybe we can get some made with old celluloid handles so we have to quarantine them from the rest of our knives.

Too soon, man. Too soon.

Thanks to a surprise yesterday, I might have the funds for a 2020 forum knife ... if there is one ... and it ain't a inky dinky teeny weeny single blade thing I'd never carry or use.

I don't mind single blade, but sure don't want "inky dinky"!

Sounds like the name of a friendly Octopus character.

Pretty sure the 2020 forum knife will receive the fewest complaints of any forum knife.

I like small knives bordering on inky dinky

Might be a Laguiole, Vince!

Isn't Inky Dinky Parlez Vous a song from the trenches of France during WWI?

If it’s not possible during ‘20, what’s to stop us running a belated ‘20, a ‘CV-19 Special’ when it becomes possible, as well as that year’s usual TF&FB Knife?

We could have a mock draft like in football. Vote for brand, model, options etc. Maybe we will wear ourselves out and the real draft will go nice and smooth.

One would hope so, but I wouldn't underestimate our potential for curmudgeonliness.

Just buy something you want, and call it good.

It will be in budget and spec’d out by you!

I've got a Dymo labeler. I could make 'Unofficial, non binding, carries no weight, 2020 forum knife' labels. If you choose a peanut, I'll have to abbreviate.

Well....as for the 2020 BF knife, I don't like the pattern,blade type, I dont like the cover material, dont like the number of blades, there's no shield, it isn't sharp, has no snap, the walk'n'talk isn't up to par and neither is the fit'n'finish. Lastly I dont like the maker, but mostly I dislike that NONE of those things exist to like or not....
How's that for curmudgeonly?

Lol...

But in all seriousness, if everybody went out and bought Yella Peanuts maybe we could get some replacement shields made with a BF logo. I'm sure someone knows a trick to pop out Case shields and then we could super glue the new shield in. I'd probably cherish that more than some ultra-high-collectible knife we all argued over.
