Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!!!

!. Yes to bigger
2. Yes to Teardrop
3. English Jack

 

[wintermute]

1. I like bigger, up to 3.75" after that it starts getting too big.
2. Yes, only if we go for bone. If we get blackwood then it's a three-way tie between teardrop, equal-end, and swell center.
3. see #2

[Morrow]

3) what's your second choice?? equal end

+1....

 

[black mamba]

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Equal End

 

[synghyn]

1)Is bigger O.K?Yes
2)Is the Teardrop number 1 choice? Sort of a similar pattern to the 2009 knife, different yes, but similar. I'd say second choice right now.
3)What's your second choice?? A whittler, if we can get a swell center very similar to the one just posted cool, otherwise preference would be dogleg or serpentine.

Alot of swell centers are not as smooth and graceful as that ebony that was posted and some just don't look right to me, that one looks great.

The teardrop is a beautiful knife and I'd definitely be in, it's just a pretty similar pattern to the Barlow from 2009. I do like the double bolster version if we go for the teardrop pattern.

I do still like the idea of a mountain man type pattern if it's in the running.

1) Would prefer smaller
2) No - Sow Belly Stockman
3) Teardrop

Only my preference, I'll be jumping on the bandwaggon regardless though

The first two far outstripped the rest, so it looks like our two choices from Queen are;
1st choice) The Teardrop Jack, first seen as a Harness Jack, and then as two-blade Jack in this thread.
2nd choice) The Swell Center Jack seen as a double end Jack, and a Bullhead etc. in this thread.
This thread will be locked shortly, so watch for a Great Eastern thread coming soon.
Thanks for all the thoughtful input so far!!!
