Alright, I’ve been ill so I haven’t said much about the forum knife this year. Of course I got one.
A good friend on the forum offered to get me one this year and I gotta say how grateful I was but fortunately the Mrs was able set the money aside so I could score one.
It’s not always easy to enjoy unboxing a new/different knife. Many folks only get 1 new knife a year if they’re lucky or some are even lucky enough to have friends who think of them often and provide them with opportunities to unbox new and different knives.
I’m lucky enough I happen to fall into the latter group and am grateful for the friends I have, especially the ones who allow me to vicariously enjoy knives I normally would never try for myself or couldn’t readily afford to just try.
Thanks to the many who enable me to enjoy a higher level of knife use and ownership I truly appreciate it. Anyway s as I often do, I went off topic, lost my track/ train of thought. My point was the Mrs made sure I had a knife this year but I just wanted to thank a friend here who told me he’d get me one. Thanks I really appreciated the offer and completely forgot about it till she asked me if my knife came yet.
Well it sure did as many of you already aware
and what a knife it is. I was impressed with the example I received and I’ll do a more in depth review of the knife a little later on. For now just some more pictures till I can put together my own thread on the knife.
So for now, the TL;DR version...
Some quick pics for the forum knife picture junkies out there.
Here it is with its time and button.
This is the box I’ve been keeping my Forum knives in. Until this year I’ve been able to keep them all in there. This’ll be the last year though as I can keep the current knife in my pocket and fit the 13 previous years in it but after this, no more.
No proud spots on the back spring open or closed.
The tip of the blade sits comfortably below the liners.
The blade is perfectly centered.
Besides, look how knice it looks when displayed with the rest of its family.

The display case was garbage picked and cleaned up alter I found it in a friend’s trash one Sunday night, he Still doesn’t know I have it.
Keep your eyes peeled for an update to the History of the Traditional Forum’s Annual Knife thread I started a few years back. I’ll be revamping, updating and adding newer and more pictures.
Hope everyone had a good holiday, I missed all you fine Forum folks.
