Liam, that top one does match the style of the original knife quite a bit. i like it.

that used to be my knife....:o gosh i miss it...:( it is a newt livesay, "bowhunting buddy"... great little blade.. very stout..
 
Oh, I didn't recognize it with those scales. But I have owned a lot of Newts knives, they were great and a great value.
 
I'd probably be game for one- but my preference would be for a straighter, narrower , thinner blade with a sharper tip. When I carry multiples (like I probably would with 2 of Nick's) I like the blades to be different yet complimentary. The first knife had considerable belly and width, would anybody else be up for a Wharncliffe that could be worn around the neck (A Nicker Necker)? I think that would be my preference, but it is up to the masses (well.....I guess Nick could have a bit of a say...)
 
If Nick would let me, I might get in line for the first forum knife! But I'm in for knife 2, if its as awesome as the first one.

What kind of steel did the original NWA forum knife have?
 
He uses O1, which has grown to be my favorite steel. I was thinking about a wharncliff too. I have a small wharnie necker that I wasn't sure I was going to like at first, but it is so handy.
Definitely something slim and pointy, so it can perform all the little tasks easily. I like how the name "Nicker" seems to be sticking to it, sounds liek a great name for it.
 
I'm still glad to see so many guys order the knife. The more that get it, the more it really becomes a forum knife. I'm also happy to see that everybody likes it so much. I know I do!
 
I'm on a 2 knife kick. One for regular chores and one for chopping. The NWA Forum blade will be paired up with a B. Goode WSK. They are going to look and work great together.:thumbup:

A wharncliffe would be my preference as well.
 
If Nick is still busy why not throw it out to other makers, if you could agree on a size how about just letting a select group of makers come up with their version and then vote on an official knife.

There are loads of great makers around, Dan Koster, Robert Dark, Scott Gossman, Justin from Ranger knives, raylaconico ,G L Drew , are just a few that spring to mind.
 
Good to see others like the Wharnie idea- I am lacking a good woodworking Wharnie. Would you guys want a green/black micarta option or something else. I would be in favor of a brighter color (red is my preference, but blue, blue/black, tigerstripe or orange would be OK with me), but would go with the majority.

So I'll start with a list of what I am looking for:

Wharncliffe Blade
2-3" length
Neck knife (kydex or tip down leather is OK)
Colored synthetic handle for durability (Red Micarta- visability, looks, unique)
4 finger handle without finger grooves or only 1 "choil" type finger groove (like Liam's top knife)
No guard!!!! Edge to the base of blade.
Oh yah- CHEAP is good (but I will pay for quality- just cheapskate tendencies coming through)

Looking forward to what you guys are looking for

Sounds good to me. Maybe even a blaze orange G10 handle? Seeing as how there are plenty of guys here who like orange gear.

That's a good idea.



O1 steel huh? Never heard of it, I'll do a search later when I'm done studying.

I would be happy with whomever. I do love Scott's knives and think he would be a logical choice, given his relationship with the W&SS folks.

I am in either way.

thanks!
