2019 Forum Knife : Poll - Slab Type

[biomed]

My preference is smooth ebony. Desert ironwood would also be nice. However, the majority rules and that is fine with me.

So if jigged bone wins, will there be another poll for Type of jigging/sawcut etc.?

 

[Prester John]

Yeah, but the word I've seen most often from the smooth bone advocates is "Ebony." Now I like Ebony just fine, but Ebony-clad GEC's are pretty ubiquitous. Seems like just about every GEC pattern gets an Ebony version. I'd be willing to bet that there'll be an Ebony in the standard #86 run.

About the only wood that I might like better than ebony is ironwood. Would be thrilled with either. I don't care if ebony is "ubiquitous" with GEC knives, the rest of this knife is quite unique.

I believe the answer is yes and that poll would be part of Phase 4, as required, along with the shield poll (3/7-3/11).

 

[JTB_5]

Bone or Wood, as long as it is scratted or checkered

 

[Wharn]

Smooth wood all the way.

 

[Kiteman72]

Since waverave has that handy database, how many smooth wood options would there be, if we really do have access to all of them?

Obviously, the really exotic is out, but that list could be really long.

ETA: Here's a question for the ebony proponents. Would you still want ebony if the shield was guaranteed to be the hotdog? Could happen!

There will be no hotdog shield.

 

[H2O2HI]

If osage orange is a choice I would bet it would lose.

I agree. OO would be lucky to get 3 votes. A mother was watching a platoon walk by. She says: “Look, my son is the only one in step.” I guess with Osage I’m the only one in step.

 

[Kiteman72]

Lol, probably not, but it looks like we will actually be able to vote for any of the available shields so you never know!

Ebony with the hotdog or no shield would be terribly boring. I would, however, still buy one.

FYI - I'm not doing any mock-ups that involve the hot dog shield You guys are on your own for that one

 

[cigarrodog]

Now taking wagers that hot dog shields will not be chosen.

 

[tmd_87]

If the hot dog shields is chosen, I'm out....

 

[Kiteman72]

I've heard that all the Jigged Bone Gang is voting hotdog out of spite if the Smooth Wood Bunch wins out...

The only safe option is to go Acrylic!

ETA: Thanks, Darren for that list. Actually not as many options as I thought.

Anytime There are some more going all the way back but figured we are only going to have semi-recent options available.

 

[cigarrodog]

K Kiteman72 That’s the Spirit. Way to go Jigged Bone Gang. No Hot Dog Shields for you.

Aww man! The Beer barrel oak would be so great on this knife. I don't know if that would actually be a possibility, and I assume it would get maybe two votes, but I would like it. Ship deck wood would be great as well.

I voted for smooth wood. I would actually want checkered wood in my ideal universe, but I don't see that happening. Can you just imagine a nice checkered walnut. Mmm mmm mmm.

 

[Modoc ED]

Yes.

Thanks Mike.
