Vern,

Good question. I vote for a drop point in a smooth appoloosa bone.

Ya just cant beat a Randall with stag but Buck makes a limited edition "Gen 5" which I recently purchase from SmokyMountain Knifeworks. I think it's an exclusive & still available. 3" drop point with stag handle and turqu0ise inlay by the bolster. Mighty purty!

Something slippy! It all depends on who you want to reach with the forum knife. Do you want the majority of people to be able to afford one if they want it?

That means it'd have to stay under $150 ish.

Do you want something extremely exclusive that only the die-hards will be able to get or will be willing to spend the money on? Then you could come up with a strider type knife.

I don't know exactly what the 2010 ICK cost. (Whish I did...still bummed about missing out on that one.) but I bet it cost less than the price of a strider or a randall.

Maybe something more tactical could be in order this year than the last year I can understand the desire for that though. How about a special version of the A.G. Russell Button Lock folder?

Or something cool done by Queen?

Or maybe Böker + will be willing to work with this?

Options galore.

As for me I'd like something traditional styled....or I'd probably get that button lock folder I mentioned. but if it'd be over $150, it'd be getting too rich for my blood.

Alexander,

I agree on the price point and would prefer traditional myself. We do have alot of active members that prefer the tactical products so we may want to consider doing a tacticle this year and then back to traditional next year. That way we are reaching everyone at least every other year. I know there are some TOPS that could be considered cross overs in the tacticle/traidtional they would be in the fixed blade models. Does Strider make a knife that could be considered a crossover? Would we consider a fixed blade style?
