What would it take to get a Forum Knife?

What would it take for us to get a 2020 forum knife?


As to which knife, a UKPK would be good for everyone. I wouldn’t mind a Lil Native backlock though.

By the time a new forum knife is due i guess the Li'l Native or even Native slippie will be available, and i'd frankly prefer it over the UKPK.

I want one with a tasteful marking, just a small emblem like the HH UKPK had. That is the best way in my book.

The logo could be in a square pattern like this.

I think the Chaparral would be a perfect forum knife.
Small enough to be legal in most places, still a "full size" little knife (same cutting edge length as a Native) and with its uniquely thin blade a joy to experience for any knife afi... :rolleyes:

Alternatively, maybe a nicely colored Straight Spine Stretch? Many seem to really like it...
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):

That's one of the model that came to my mind also.

In "casual bombshells" Sal was quoted saying he was carrying a Ladybug with a clip. How about one of those in a unique color? Or the Endela?

It's the beginning of a new decade. Let's have a Damasteel Chaparral with polished black Micarta!

That sounds good to me! I'd even like a special Dragonfly.

Opposite direction. I would rather have a special version of the chief.

If it could be a K390 Chaparral, with canvas micarta scales, a lot of people would be very happy.

The forum knife logo could have a vision reference of some sorts. Here is one idea I quickly threw together using Photoshop.

I like the logo idea, the knife - not so much :) Never been a fan of CBBL or the pine cone ergo Manix.
As said above the Chap or a Chief, preferably with Micarta or wood scales and your logo would hit the spot for me!

Probably veeeeery pricey... But I like the idea of a small size model with Damasteel... :rolleyes: Dragonfly sounds even better!
