2013 BF Traditional knife poll - pattern

[LKJW]

I voted SBJ, but a congress would be sweet! I'll be getting whatever we decide on.

 

[justsomedude]

Half Congress is my vote! I think with Ivory Paper Micarta scales this would be an awesome forum knife. Now for blades (and I know I'm getting ahead of myself here) does anybody know if it is possible to do a spearpoint main blade on a half congress pattern? A spear main with a copin/sheepsfoot secondary would be a really useful, beautiful, and most importantly, unique forum knife!

I voted Whittler, but if we could get a "thin" Sodbuster like the KHnutbuster in the other thread I would be all over that.

Congress Jack all the way! Great pattern, would ride nicely in
the pocket! Nice blade combo...

That, Sir,is talking to ME and I like what its saying.

 

[Chinpo]

I voted Peanut, but I will buy what ever the group chooses.

After seeing the photos by eisman and T. Erdelyi, I just had to go with Congress Jack. Sweet looking, and very unique!

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Looks like the top three in order are

Congress
Sodbuster
Peanut

The Congress leads the Sodbuster 3 to 1 and the Peanut, even though it was third just didn't have the support, a quick look seems that the Congress Jack is the favorite over the Half Congress one more poll should flesh that out.

Dave, Blaine, looks like a great start to this year's knife.

Folks keep in mind that ya wanna keep yer pictures and chatter in the 2013 Kick off thread so as not to clutter up the poll thread so Dave and Blaine can get an accurate count without too much extra work siftin' through the thread.

Thanks to everyone for makin' this a great start to this year's knife.

I'm going to say Congress Jack, but I like the paper micarta!!!.... add the federal shield like Mink suggested..... I'd say sheepsfoot for the main blade and pen for the secondary..... I still would like to see the sodbuster win, but I'm warming up to the Congress Jack.

 

[scalprum]

Congress jack for me, or better yet if we can manage it, two blade congress with both blades on one spring. Sheepsfoot main and pen secondary, ivory paper micarta, and a simple shield (bar with square or round ends, depending on which way we go with the bolsters).

I would be so game for a congress jack. I am excited to see how things progress this time around. Been following the trad forum knife for 3 years now and it is always an adventure

 

[meako]

365 have voted so far thats one for every day of the year.

 

[PG5768]

I think I'd prefer the Half-Congress with sheepsfoot main and pen secondary blades and ivory micarta. No preference on the shield, but it should have one and bolsters on both ends.

Regardless of what's finally chosen, I'm definitely in for at least one.

Just an FYI to everyone - the pattern poll will be closing tomorrow evening, so please vote soon if you have not already done so.

 

[odd]

so if (when) Congress wins will there be a second poll on (and correct me if im wrong here):
full(4 blades)
half (2 blades)
quarter (single blade) <-- is this even a real thing?

I believe we are between a half congress and a congress jack. Personally, I am rooting for the Congress Jack.

 

[TheGoldenWalrus]

also really hopeing for the jack. ofcourse a quarter (if its even a real thing) would also please the people wanting a single blade knife. and would probably look pretty classy too so wouldnt mind a quarter congress.... infact it would be pretty nice so i guess im for a jack or a 1/4
