Sal,
We've had a number of threads on desired forum knives. I was under the impression that you welcome these discussions. A number of members however, including several whose opinions I greatly value, maintain that threads which express a desire for particular features in a forum knife are disrespectful, annoying, inappropriate, etc. Not wanting to be any of these things, I'd like to know if my impression is correct or if, in fact, you would rather we didn't pursue this topic.
Thanks.
Greg

Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

The posts on the other thread were personal opinions, which, IMO, don't reflect Sal's view. I can't imagine Sal being opposed to ideas & suggestions about a forum knife (or any other :spyder: related topic) being posted here, unless it's done in an inflammatory or inappropriate manner.
That's what this forum is for.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.
Knowing Sal's fine sense of literary ambiguity, I take this as a go ahead to discuss forum knife ideas and desires.sal wrote:Forum knives are fine.

Especially since his fine sense of literary ambiguity indicated that Kristi is the one who has to put up with us! Delegation at its finest. :DSequimite wrote:Knowing Sal's fine sense of literary ambiguity, I take this as a go ahead to discuss forum knife ideas and desires.

I think a worthy part of the discussion then should be what we think would be a fair and equitable way to get the forum knife into the hands of forum members (intended target right?) without the few hoarding speculation types who snatch them all up and cause a combative discussion ruckus later.
That being said, perhaps a registered forum member with at least x number of posts may qualify for one or two forum knives. When they're gone, they're gone and so being an active member would definitely be to your advantage to know when and how they will be sold.

You can't display a toad in a fine restaurant like this! Why, the good folks here would go right off the feed!

A forum knife is a good idea, a knife designed by a forum, not so good. I would like to see the Forum members pick a designer and let the them do the design.

Is the forum knife a long tradition that just didn't come together last year? Also is it something of a Frankenstein of available parts (colors, hardware, materials but keeping core design) assembled in a unique combo in a limited run; or has there been custom changes made to a knife design like a Stretch with a Liner/Frame lock (an actual design change)?
Of course it would only work if everyone agree'd thats what they wanted for the years forum knife.
EDIT: Found https://spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47317 Pretty much answers my questions
