Grooves would have been an entire new hurdle. Since they do not currently put grooves on the the 301 we would have worked with them to define the grooves, deep, not deep, etc. Then after that was decided, the cost would have been figured.

Just curious: what would have happened in the event of a tie? I ALMOST changed my vote at the last minute, which would have resulted in a 186-186 tie. Moot, I guess, but just wondering....

Here's the non grooved from the first post in the Dark or Light Elk Poll thread (with the dark being what was chosen):

And here's a photo of a Buck knife with grooves from earlier in this thread.

I'm not sure if we know for sure if that would have been the type of groove used since that's from an older version but thats the only example of a Buck knife with grooved bolsters that I've seen. I'm admittedly not that familiar with the brand, though. :oops:

Well, all I can say is the knives you pictured here, (I obviously missed them earlier!) with the grooves, are a class act!!
Water under the bridge!!:rolleyes:

Lucky you didn't!

In the event of a tie it, it was to be "pistols at dawn", and then we would have needed a poll to determine who would duel for each side.
 
I might have missed this, but: Are the liners on this knife going to be nickel silver or stainless? Thanks, Raul
 
Glad of the result. I was in the non groove camp all along but would have found the extra somewhere if grooved had won. Hearing now from our poll master that grooved would have caused another two weeks of polls, glad it didn't win to be honest. The train has finally reached the station!
 
Time to bite the un-bitable bullet again :(

Lost opportunity for distinction and greatness - which are eternal. The penny pinchers spoil the ship for a ha'poth of tar :eek: If somebody had said to Leonardo, save money on paint and time it's just a picture of a chick, would it be the same Mona Lisa? ;):D

Considering that it is the first time Buck produces a forum knife, it will still be a Mona Lisa.

Tell that to my wife! You're not married to a woman with a cast iron skillet named El Diablo! I want to keep my head in its normal shape. Without a flat spot the same size as the skillet.

In reality, my wife is a sweetheart and I want to keep it that way.
 
Originally, my vote was for smooth bolsters. Monday morning, I changed my vote, but was still surprised to see grooved bolsters take the lead, however briefly. I can’t say I am dismayed by the outcome.
