Important Info! 2019 Forum Knife : Poll Schedule / Content

Personally, without specific options, I'm likely to vote for bone, and will be delighted if we can get a random jigging showcased on the Charlie rope knives, and some others.

If we are informed in advance that such jigging is not possible, then wood may have an edge for my vote.

Synthetics are a distant third.

Agreed
 
If I’m reading this right, it looks like we will be picking slab type first(wood, bone, etc). Then, after that’s decided(done), we move on to specifics. I’m in no matter what, but I can see slab types chosen, based on a specific that may or may not be offered. My preference would be that type and specific run concurrently.

I'm 4/4 on the polls too. I'm voting for wood, so I guess one of us will go down a vote :).

It's tough to decide without knowing the specifics. For example, I'm voting wood because I'm hoping for Ebony, but what if wood wins and we end up with Osage Orange. I'd much prefer just about any type of bone over Osage. I think if bone wins we will end up with Sawcut. GEC does a really nice Sawcut bone. I'm tempted by that, but if I vote bone and Jigged wins I'd be disappointed because I have a bunch of Jigged bone GEC already.

You’re right. I rest my case.

I really like the random jigging GEC did on the rope knives a couple years back. If something like that is offered I think it might beat sawcut...maybe. Ebony would be amazing on this knife and I would be good with it. I bet we get iron wood as an option.

The Charlie rope knives jigging was the best I've seen from GEC. If I recall a couple other runs were requested to duplicate that jigging and they ended up with standard GEC jigging. It's odd to me that process is so hit or miss. I don't know anything about it. I guess it must be more complicated than I think it would be otherwise they would have it down by now..

Hope we don't end up with ironwood.

Yeah I'd rather not have iron wood. I think ebony or a nice jigged bone will look best on this knife. I think ebony will win. I just think GEC will offer ironwood and it might have a chance to win just because how popular it's been recently.

What covers you voting for? Wood, bone, synthetic?

What about stag? Is that not a consideration this time around?

I know there’s all this talk about this being a heavy duty work knife, but historically speaking, plenty of hard working folks had fancy stag handled knives. I believe a knife has always been one item that wasn’t skimped on and what you really liked was generally what you got.

I’m putting in for stag; regular or second cut.

knifeswapper knifeswapper whats the possibility of ‘muscle’ or ‘primitive’ bone?

I'm also 4/4 and probably voting wood. Bone would be my first choice, but only of the smooth variety. I have exactly two jigged bone knives I carry (cougar clawed Churchill and just arrived barely jigged Pemberton). 90% sure wood won't be jigged.
