Not open for further replies.
1. Yes to bigger

2. No. Prefer Equal End or Swell Center (The knives shown in posts #340 and #348 are jaw droppingly nice)

3. Tear drop would be my next choice, though
 
1) Bigger, 3 3/4 to 3 7/8"
2) First choice, S&M 3 7/8" swell center
3) second choices; Tideouts Jack, GEC Muskrat, dogleg or serpentine jack
 
1)Is bigger O.K? - Yes but, keep it pocketable for office types.

2)Is the Teardrop number 1 choice? - No

3)What's your second choice?? - Regular Jack/ English Jack, Dogleg or Serpentine for me.
 
1. Big is OK
2. 1st choice, Swell Center
3. 2nd choice, would be the Swaybelly Trapper. If we are going with a larger pattern then personally I would prefer longer blades.
 
1)YES
2)Mountain Man
3)That Teardrop Harness Jack looked pretty good.
 
1)Is bigger O.K? Yes
2)Is the Teardrop number 1 choice? Yes
3)What's your second choice? English Jack or Dogleg
 
bigger------4" or below please
Teardrop----yes
2nd choice--Texas Jack
I really would not carry a mountain man or sodbuster. I just don't need that big of a knife to get about 99% done of what I do. By the way I have both of the above but just use them on the weekend for work around the house and yard.

Thanks.....Steven :)
 
I like equal end harness jack by GEC with the clip point main blade.

1. Bigger is better

2. Teardrop is fine, swell center is fine

3. Second choice would be a swell center English Jack.

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson
 
1. Bigger: Depends on which of the 2 patterns.
2. Swell center: No.
3. 2nd choice: Swell center.

My vote would be for the equal end Jack, which I think GEC's is 4 1/8", but should still be pocketable (I think).

I would like to say that there seems to be quite a few "new" people weighing in here. That is not a problem, but some don't seem to know how it's typically done, nor the time the ENTIRE process is.

Personally, I would really like to hear what CSC & Queen says as to their patterns, etc.

Having said that, if it is to be a GEC, my vote would be for the equal end Jack because I think it's slimmer (Easier pocket carry) than a swell center if both are the same length. Just a thought.

I'm guessing if it is to be GEC, then the steel will be 1095, right? I know GEC also makes knives in 440C & 420HC (For their Cripple Creek knives & maybe others, not sure). I have no problem with 1095, I'm just confirming that that is what we're talking about.

Also, if people are pretty set, maybe we can just do a poll. Whether we choose one of the 2 GEC patterns or possibly a 3rd choice of whether we wait until "Waynorth" hears back from the other manufacturers.

Just a thought & my opinion, only.

If I haven't said, thank you in advance, guys, for the jobs you're doing.
 
1: bigger is fine, but I don't work in an office so I'll take whatever is decided
2: Yes please
3:English jack, or slimline trapper

For those who haven't read back far enough, please read post #369!!!!!!!
We are trying to establish a pattern or two in each company, so we can talk to them. We are looking at Queen now, and will start Great Eastern in a day or so.
For now, please look at Post #369, and do your best on the three questions there.
We will be narrowing things down quickly now, so keep checking in!!

Just a thought,
A separate thread for each manufacturer would probably clear things up.

Thanks,

O.K, the discussion leans toward a Teardrop, with a swell center, or an English Jack as second choice. As well there seems to be a general acceptance of a bigger knife.
Has this experiment satisfied you all generally that this is a reasonable direction?
Let's get a little more response from you before I set up a poll. If it is overwhelming, perhaps we can dispense with the poll, and move on to GEC.
Just simply, 3 questions;
1)Is bigger O.K?
2)Is the Teardrop number 1 choice?
3)What's your second choice??

1)Yes
2)Yes
3)Swell center
 
FLymon, good idea! We are at 400 posts and counting!
I will take your advice! After we are done with Queen, I'll start a thread for GEC!
I'd like to manage one thread at a time, so we'll lock this one when it's done.
Last chance to get your opinions on Queen in here, folks!!
Let's make today, midnight EDT the end of this collection of opinions.
