Attention 2019 Forum Knife : Poll - Pull Type

[knifeswapper]

OK, the trim is Northfield (cut swedge, long pull, lined bolster).

This poll is to decide on standard long pull or matchstriker long pull.

This poll will close on 3/4.

International Participants: If you live outside the U.S. and fully plan to purchase a knife, but do not already have a re-shipper service set up; send me ( support@collectorknives.net ) an email with a subject of "International BF Delivery" and body including only your name and country. This will help me start gauging a possible solution for this issue.

Match striker, just because

Standard - thanks!!

 

[r8shell]

Standard for now, but my vote could be swayed.

I have nothing against matchstrike, and do like them on a lot of knives.

However, I really think that the standard pull will be better suited for this blade. Something very streamlined about the overall aesthetic in my opinion.

 

[JohnDF]

I like the standard long pull better, but I'm also okay with the match strike.
Something tells me this might be the closest poll of the bunch. Good thing I'm okay with both.

Matchstriker is like adding a whole new tool to the knife.

Plus it looks better.

I agree. The handles, and to a lesser extent the shield, will be my biggest concerns going forward. However, we are past the point where not getting the knife is a possibility for me.

 

[Signalprick]

Standard for the win!

 

[metsfan]

I love matchstrike on my 77’s and 85’s...but something about that blade just says standard...

 

[Rookie82]

I've always had a warm spot in my heart for matchstriker pulls.

 

[Nature Boy]

Standard, please.

 

[Coyja]

Standard for now, but my vote could be swayed.

Same here. I feel like I'd almost like to know the handle material first.
Sawcut and I'd want matchstriker, for instance...
For now I vote standard.
EDIT: Matchstriker now.

 

[Ramrodmb]

Standard, please.

 

[Half/Stop]

Standard, thanks!

 

[Prester John]

Standard looks better to me.

 

[MadDuck]

Standard for this one.

I dunno. Standard looks good too. And I strike my matches on the box.
No real strong feelings on the three current polls. Handle material is most important to me.

The standard long pull will have a clean look with the cut swedge and blade type.
I think the matchstriker might add a little too much embellishment
