You are in Poll 1/8: 2 Blades vs 3 Blades
*I needed to restart the voting on this poll, my apologies. I had completely missed a pairing option that is quite needed. Thanks Jack Black !!!
Welcome to the polls for the 2018 Blade Forums Traditional Knife Build. The platform that we will be building this year is the Buck Knives 301 Stockman. This is the first time Buck has been chosen for this project and I'm excited for this process to start!
Once the final knife is chosen, we'll get into logistics for pre-orders, shipping, etc.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed, voted, moderated and participated! Thanks to Mike @knifeswapper as well for stepping into the ring. Without him, we would all still be in discussion limbo! I hope we can build something really special here.
We had an intense lunch meeting to figure out the best way to run the polls. I think these groupings of polls will work great in the order we have them set out.
Be sure to keep the groupings in mind as you vote. The groupings are set up to build on each other each round, and should not conflict with each other. What I mean is that options can be chosen simultaneously within a grouping and then set the foundation for the next grouping. Obviously, you want to know the bolster material before you choose scales/handles, but choosing the steel and the bolster material at the same time will not change the look of the knife, and can therefore be grouped.
PLEASE be sure to read the poll choices carefully as each choice can be packed with many options. You'll notice that especially in Poll 1/8.
I'm going to run 8 total polls grouped into 3 separate rounds each running from Tuesday to Monday for the next 3 weeks:
Round 1 (week 1):
Poll 1/8: 2 Blades vs 3 Blades 301 - Blade Types
Poll 2/8: Blade Steel LINK HERE
Poll 3/8: Bolsters LINK HERE
Samples of the blade option knives:
Round 2 (week 2):
Poll 4/8: Blade Grinds
Poll 5/8: Handle Materials
Poll 6/8: Long Pull vs Nail Nick
Round 3 (week 3):
Poll 7/8: Stamp
Poll 8/8: Medallion vs No Medallion
* I think it's fair to ask that if you have no interest in ordering a knife, please do not vote, but please do participate in the discussions!
