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

Why can't other canned meats be shown? Corned Beef is excellent

Well, yes my friend, of course !
My BF 2019 has a very refined taste. Out of the tube it absolutely refused to touch spam but readily agreed for some fine Corned Beef … which just crumbled at the sight of its sabre grind

Purple saw cut delrin would really tie this knife together! LOL

The only way to make that even prettier is a bit of gold glitter and maybe a narwhal shaped shield.

 

[Camillus]

Weight is also a factor in a knife this size. I am all for osage orange in smooth or sawcut!

Why the purple guys? I think sparkly purple Delrin would be great. At least it'd be a change from yet another GEC with dark wood scales!

some cheap match strikes

I am trying to catch up, is this the proposed BF Forums knife for '21? If so, wow am I happy. I had wished that the '19 BF Forum knife would have been a Barlow, now the wait.

Long match strikes are cool. It's the match strike crescents that make no sense.

...
Now, to stir the pot a little:
Anything but matchstrike crescent pulls! I know they've been used on high end knives in the past, but I can't look at them without thinking Rough Ryder.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'll never go on a cruise because those luxury liner portholes remind me of the fake "portholes" on the front fenders of my Grandma's 1958 Buick Special.

With black plum jigged bone covers, this knife will be a looker.

More importantly..... left hand pull, Anyone? I may be alone on this.

 

[Camillus]

Here are some options for covers to get y’all thinking

My vote goes to the big brother of this guy

Any of the bones look nice to me. I'm not as crazy for wood on a barlow.

 

[JC024]

For me, sawcut bone is THE classic barlow cover and I think it would look great on an 86.

 

[Sventhelumberjack]

Also in the sawcut bone camp for a barlow frame! But definitely in for whatever is selected!

Yup, leave the mock up the way it is.

Oh no....the nuanced horror of various National Cuisines leads to a Fear Factor situation.. BARF! That stuff is so repellent and the SMELL and texture of that pinky piggy foulings It won't patina the knife either more likely traumatise it Why can't other canned meats be shown? Corned Beef is excellent Mind you, Sabre grind has to have some (minor) victories in its woeful arsenal

As for 'oddities' in National Cuisines, try a search engine for what we've just gorged at Easter- Mämmi tastes good with thick cream and sugar but its appearance. er.... Least it doesn't smell repulsive

Speaking of oddities & canned meat, be careful because someone might start posting pictures of an entire chicken in a can @waynorth

Thanks Barry for undertaking this project..... It is very much appreciated...... @gunstockjack ... If you need a septuagenarian grunt for anything, let me know......

Also, thank you @Spark for giving the green light......

Charlie, a standing ovation for you, as always!... When you open your Waynorth Cutlery store in Buffalo I want a job as a clerk...... @waynorth

I think the Porch will have a wonderful knife that will be the envy of other clubs for years to come!!....

Ron @Half/Stop loved Osage Orange... Just saying.
It would be cool to have Osage Orange in his honor this year.

This is such a quality idea and would honor an amazing guy. I’m on team Osage.

Another small step has been taken!! "Spark" (Kevin) has given our project his blessing, and thanks us for the courtesy of asking!!

One step closer!

I like sawcut on a barlow. I think it's classic-est, too. I'm gonna bring back around something that I think r8shell suggested - ivory/white sawcut bone. I think it would look excellent with the lined/fluted bolsters. I've also been underwhelmed by a lot of the dye lately, but Copperhead Sawcut would be my second vote.
