Can you post a quote of one of those howls? I see 110s and similar lockbacks posted all the time with no objections. (unless they have pocket clips or torx screws or some other newfangled modification)
being bullied on social media is an ugly thing....Hate to tell you this ... but ... if you don't know there's a clique, not only are you not in the clique, but you're not even in the running. Sorry.
Edit to say: And that tee shirt thing? That's why you're not in the running.
now I need a hug.

or a new knife...
Go for the new knife. It's probably safer right now.

112?Only problem with an 110 iconic as it is, is it's too big and just too much BRass
If GEC cannot or will not offer a pocket-knife for consideration then my oft stated choice is for a fixed Buck with the BF tang-stamp. something different (yet to be a fixed blade Forum Knife) and something Buck and the dealer can very competently deal with. I'd prefer this to a Buck lockback personally.
I think the end-of-the-year delivery of last year’s knife had less to do with things happening on our end and more to do with where GEC had that pattern scheduled. I guess my point is, we didn’t need to have the knife ordered by March to get it by December/January. We got it in December because that is when the knife was scheduled to be made.
) of all but this could mean a knife with not much presence or ID, just an engraved SAK or whatnot, no thanks. Ideally, the Forum Knife should be special/unusual but this year, IF a knife happens it will be a take it or leave it offer due to the covid impact etc. GEC's schedule must be well behind and it's immersed in producing the 23 two blade, a large knife that I suspect does not have a big following....BUT they might want to offer a 'special' of some pattern (14,33,62 etc) that could be very worth taking up.
I agree, also huge upvote for the limbo gif....that's a perfect image of the year 2020 so far.....I think question #4 is the first step. It does seem like the forum owner could tell everyone whether he wants to allow this for 2020.
I don’t think anyone “covers shipping”, rather it is built into the knife price.
It would be wise to make everyone pay in advance to reduce the financial burden on the dealer, and to eliminate cancellations.
I agree the $100 limit should be raised to 125 or 150, and I also believe there should be a 5 or 10 dollar per knife profit for the dealer that does all the work of delivery, and it would be nice if we had a 5 - 10 dollar charitable component for each knife given to a worthy charity.
But until the forum owner says yes or no to a 2020 forum knife concept we are in limbo.
I think a new color of synthetic scales would be appropriate. Call it "dumpster fire acrylic."
