i agree with you fully, but i would prefer some type of tang stamp only, as oposed to the blade etching that was done on our IHT knives. i think it would be more classy if the logo was more subtle, and only tang stamp size, perhaps on the front tang.

we could all be pissing in the wind here, as mr arthas hasn't yet posted here, or even given his blessing.......

A standard item with a special blade/tang stamp is the way to go. In my own opinion we already have the IHT Stiletto so a Leverlock would be great BUT the New Age Typhoon is very interesting along with one or two others and I'll bet not many of us have them [at least I don't].

The Cobra and Thunder are nice looking, the Mangusta is a good knife but I think overpriced and too similar to some orientals I've seen, but mine has been used quite a bit with no problems.

ahem... could we get a mod or maybe someone who may have a relationship w/ Mr. Arthas to take charge of this?

A forum Leverletto would be bad-ass since I missed out on the IHT and the Leverletto.

But any switchblade would be bad-ass, I just love them all......hahahaha

A forum knife from SKM would be great...I would definitely buy one, given the opportunity. Any style of switch (except their OTFs - I bought a silver 8" and it is pretty loose with a puny dagger blade - great letter opener or for startling folks, but just pray they don't come at ya).

Best Regards,

The TalkBlade logo would be a good choice for the type of knife; stiletto with standard blade and a blue handle, but isn't the Imitation Horn knife already of this type? I (think) I saw a photo of a couple in one of the other topics, but am not sure, I'll look again.
In my opinion, the others who've said an SKM knife, more or less standard, with blade etching would stand the best chance of actually being produced, have the right idea.
Someone (Gort?) suggested a swing guard type now being produced as the logical choice in another topic. I agree. Second choice for me would be a lever lock. Most likely choice for me is whatever the consensus is, since if we can't agree it'll never happen in the first place. Nor will it happen if the manufacturer can't be persuaded.

OK, now I've got it. Gorts topic "The new SKM 7 3/4 Swing Guards" mentions the knife in question, shows a photo, MrBigg suggested it as a forum knife, and a few of us agreed with the idea.
