At least IMHO.
In the Ballisong area at BladeForum a BF member has graciously begun a posted list of owners of numbered BM 42 Ballisong knives - protos, preruns, first runs, customs, etc
Hopefully, I'm not breaking any rule spoken or unspoken- here is the url in case some of you want to take a look:
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~soo/balisong/article13.html
I like the idea and wondered if other Spyderco collectors with collector club, limited numbered runs, sprint runs, etc. might be interested in a similar website honoring our Spyderco products.
A few positives imho, info listed to only what YOU the OWNER provide. So we don't set any of ourselves up for theft, spam, etc.
The list builds comradery not competition, envy or "my blade's bigger than your blade" etc.
A few other points of discussion:
Unfortunately, I can't volunteer to start the site because of ongoing health problems so that I couldn't guarantee prompt participation, updating, etc Nothing life threatening at this point, but more nuisance type stuff of oncoming old age <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>. So someone else would need to volunteer.
Which brings up my next "point of discussion": I feel Sal, Gail, Patti and Spyderco et al already do a lot for us ion all the site work, moderating etc they do. So my suggestion would be a member (or several) taking it on.
I also thought it would be a good idea to contact the BF member who does the Balissong list to let him know if we're going to do something similar. It's agreat looking site with a lot of hard work and I wouldn't want to plagerize, copy or step on anyone else's toes.
Sal, Forumites - Comments or Suggestions How do you all feel. Sal, with your OK? Any volunteers?
