Remember its a forum knife, so the make up of the knife needs to be very distinct and different, if not borderline sublime.

Something along that idea would maybe show that there isn't a need for engraving. Just the knife itself will identify what it is and what it represents.

That USN Forum knife, without any special USN markings on it, you knwo right off the bat what it is.

What do you guys with the translucent Leafstorm reckon about some sort of etching on the liner of a Manix. Would the etching show through enough to be effective. Might look good, possitively identify it as a forum knife & keep the blade free of webs & stuff.

Any update on 1) what Forum Knife will be? Hard to believe it could still be Manix 2 w/ the CF and blue sprints just out and 2) any progress on color?

It will be cool to see the run off poll if/when Sequimite makes one that only has the top three or four colors in it. It would be very interesting to see whether or not translucent still takes the top spot or if dark green or orange pull ahead.

It would be especially interesting to me because I really really don't like translucent G10. :mad: :mad: :D

How about Gold for Golden? I like idea of trying to tie to theme--like red and black, I just think that red and black is too macabre. Failing the gold, I guess I go for translucent too.

Sorry for the long delay, fortunately we have a lot of 2010 left to go.

The holdup is in getting a Manix 2 fitted with natural scales. It may take another couple of weeks. While we're familiar with various G-10 colors, the natural translucent is different because of the difficulty in imagining how the jimping and other features of the liners would look through the translucent scales. For this reason I didn't want to go ahead with the final color selection until everyone could see what the Manix 2 looks like in natural G-10.
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.

I hope that we will have 2010 Forum knife. Also I think M2 would be a good choice, as long as blade FFG. My friend bought M2 when they just come out and I was not impressed, still I bought Blue M2, because it is blue :o (one of my favorite colors) and I like the blade a lot. 154 CM is OK, color - deep green, deep blue or black would be great.

I have a Graham Bros. Stubby in translucent G11 (not G10) and though the G11 is a hoot the "color" does nothing for me. I'd vote for almost anything in preference to "natural"/translucent G10.

Not trying to rain on the parade but I wouldn't expect a forum knife every year folks. ;)

I personally wouldn't want a Manix 2 forum knife. I am a fan of less expensive forum knives.

To repeat a point made in anotherr thread. The original poll contained every Spyderco knife made in Golden that had an expected forum knife price (after upcharge for FFG and custom scales) of under $100.

Just wanted the newcomers to know that low cost was a factor and that almost 2/3 of voters selected the Manix 2. Any amount may be too much for some.

Trying to pick a knife that is both unique and popular with forumites pits two contradictory goals. Some will intensely dislike the result no matter what it is. I will definitely buy it, no matte what it is.

I think the polls developed a very good option. I'm hoping it can happen. That would be a very nice piece.
