Attention 2019 Forum Knife : Poll - Pull Type

[black mamba]

Standard, please.

 

[mykel m]

Match strike long pull on satin.
Plain long pull on polished.

 

[T. Erdelyi]

Match strike, we haven’t done one of those yet.

Is there a way to have the matchstrike tested .

 

[M.Hatch]

Never cared much either way but I like the standard on this one.

 

[tmd_87]

Match strike! GEC does a fantastic job with them. And they don't do them a whole lot! Vote match striker and vote often!

I prefer the classic standard pull. I won't be disappointed either way with this part of the build.

 

[Ernie1980]

I voted for standard, but would be good with either!

I think each style looks appropriate for those blades

Anybody have a picture of a GEC sheepsfoot with matchstrike pull?

 

[Misplaced Hillbilly]

I went standard, agree with the cleaner look sentiments. If it was a clip, matchstrike all the way. But a spear and sheepsfoot standard looks best to my eye

 

[cigarrodog]

Either one works, but I think a matchstriker looks nice without being an over the top embellishment.

 

[Buzzbait]

I normally go for match strike, but standard seems much more fitting for my vision of this knife.

I don’t think they’ve ever done it.

Thanks for the picture. I'm still leaning toward standard, but I like that GEC's matchstrike is nicely done. Not so deeply serrated looking as some I've seen.

I think both pulls are great. The (I think) fact that they haven’t really done a match striker sheepsfoot pushes me in that direction... for now... I think.

 

[Old Engineer]

I like the looks of the Matchstriker better than the Standard , but I have tried to strike a Match on the Matchstriker a couple of times and was never successful with it . Maybe someone else has better luck striking a match on them ????

For reference using the given example and NF(ish) bolster...with/without matchstriker and with/without end cap.
