Forget about a bare head 501...how about a 532..

Yes I want a 532 but I would want it more budget friendly and be a good user. I think the least expensive I have seen are still $200 but still more ornate than practical design. For me a 532 in 440C or better steal with modest handle materials is all I really ask for and I would love to see maybe $150 for it. Oh and give it a long pull too :p

Like a Buckmaster 184 Remake that has a 301 with matching knurled aluminum handles and bolsters in the 184's handle handle?

I feel like there is a 1% chance I would buy a Buckmaster with matching 301, and a 110% chance I would obsessively post talk and think about it while I hemmed and hawed and then howled with disappointment after the last one sold.

Don't feel too bad. The chances of my getting a Buckmaster and matching 301 (if they were offered) are less than zero. The set would be way out of my budget. :(

If that would have been prefaced as the case, then I would agree with you. However, the understanding has been a holistic approach combining grooved together and not grooved together. If the understanding would have been 100% universal, then your method would work, however, people have been able to "risk" a vote for their desire without it impacting the outcome as you have suggested.

Thanks for the reply. I was not being critical, just curious. I didn't have a really strong preference with this poll; I think this knife will be pretty great either way (well, without grooves at this point!). Also, thanks for making the slip an option. You have really gone the extra mile through the whole process! Looking forward to placing my order.

I figured you were just asking a good question that needed a thorough response! I just wanted to clarify for you, since this last poll was a little less clean than I would have liked. Though I think it turned out just right. :thumbsup:

Can you make grooves an option, as well as the pouch??
It seems only fair, SK!!

Don't forget the option for smooth Elk and/or a third blade!:)

DIY! All I need is a needle file for the grooves, some sandpaper to smooth out the elk, and duct tape for the extra blade. :cool::thumbsup:
