The unofficial, non binding, carries no weight, 2021 forum knife possibility discussion thread

Well, there are three kinds of people in this world. Those who are good at math and those who aren't

This made me laugh a great deal after I realized my blunder. Thanks for not being to hard on me. Although, I woulda deserved it.

Back to red soup bone covers?

Red soup really is the play if that is an option.

 

[btb01]

I especially apologize to btb01 btb01

No apology necessary, although you did make me second guess my math for a second. Also, thanks for “showing your work,” it made for a good head-scratcher.

Ain’t that the truth. As I hit “send” on my second post I thought...wait a second...I’m totally wrong!
It happens...and now it’s online for all to see!!

I am apologizing because I have a great deal of respect for you, and I know we have PM’d before, just can’t remember about what. So, double apology.

Also, thanks to Ramrodmb and B BrotherJim for being easy on me. Appreciated.

It blew my mind too because it made sense!

That gave me a good chuckle, thanks!

With a small compass embedded in the covers and glitter? A nice olive wood for the covers would look really nice!

No compass, moon dust is a must tho.

 

[Easyrider]

Disregard

Maybe the knife should have a math equation on it...

Correct answer on pile side and incorrect answer on mark side? Or other way around?

No, No, No. Equation on the mark side and answer on the pile side, although I think this a bad idea. Math seems to confuse some people

That’s why it’s +\- a few, the small number of posts that didn’t follow the no commentary/chit-chat rule, and my count of requests for 2 knives could be slightly off (but it’s close). I guess the question is will GEC make us that many knives? If I remember correctly, their cap on SFO’s used to be 500.

I'm sure it would cause some heartburn to go down to 1 knife per person, but I'd be okay with it.
The second knife I'm ordering is going to get stashed away for my 3 year old who, God bless him, knows we need knives to open packages and letters, and has already (under extreme supervision) used my knife to open a few bags.

Then it would need a built in calculator cause everyone knows maths is hard.

 

[Camillus]

Omg I was stuck on 449 for so long!! This could be one of those maths problems that go viral

 

[Easyrider]

The forum knife needs handle covers like the ones in the photo. Add in a stainless steel blade and a liner lock and we will have a forum knife not soon forgotten! The great thing is that GEC has already done liner locks and stainless steel blades so this is not really new stuff for them!

 

[Lander boy Matt]

Even though i asked for two, I would be ok with it if we could only order one forum knife. The only reason I did ask for two was due to the variation in natural materials, and am still kicking myself for not splurging on two last year as there was some awesome variations!

Awesome. Love that you're 3 year old is already expressing interest in knives. Good taste must be hereditary. I'm saving a glitter gold tc for my daughter who is 2 now. Think I'm going to "break it in" for her though

 

[Mass1632]

My sambar stag 86 was released when my wife went into labor with our first born. That knife will be for her. We are expecting our second in august. This bf 86 might be for this new kid depending on gec and when labor happens. If so, hopefully, getting two bf knives will cover my bases.
