Attention 2019 Forum Knife : Poll - Shield

[Coyja]

Bomb looks fat and disproportionate to the rest of the knife. Reverse Orleans wins for class and unique orientation that actually works with the rest of the design.
No more of theseJedi mind trick attempts. Sorry but bomb looks trashy and would 100% ruin the aesthetic.

Another Orleans vote, hopefully reversed

OK, Bannerboys, are we going to the Bomb? I'm with you!

We won't have to have another poll to see which way it should face.

Go Bombers!

Bomb works well with Desert Ironwood and African Blackwood. Orleans with ironwood is very busy and over the top. My first choice is diamond, but not getting enough votes, so Voting bomb

For the bombers...

I thought so too regarding the Orleans, but admit I was wrong. It would look great with either slab.

However I'm not a fan of it reversed, and will switch to banner or bomb if need be.

Well, I voted for Federal but don't see why you think the Bomb looks trashy.

I know it's not one of our choices but I spotted a Fish Shield today on a knife in another thread. Now, that one looks pretty Crappie to me.

Looks good on all 3 slabs!

Decisions.

Sold!

Frankly, I've been somewhat more concerned with the wood.

After seeing these, the bomb is the "bees knees" with the saber/sheep combo!

Thanks Darren!

I certainly appreciate all your work on these mock-ups.

And it's high time it was used again!

GEC production totals say they only made 262 of those, so I doubt that too many of us are suffering from Bomb Overload.

Come over to the Bombers. We have Bomb Overload over here and it is just as sweet as it sounds.

Too small!

Thanks again Darren for hooking up the visuals! Great work bud!

...and the props...

They'd look great with an end cap though.

Not a plug for end caps, or regret over that poll.

 

[Kiteman72]

I'm firmly convinced the Federal was handicapped by not being one of the initial choices. I really dig it. Those look cool, Darren, thank you.

The time is now for the mighty Bomb shield. Let me say again, TKC has done at least 3 SFOs with the Propeller/ironwood combo.

Good point!

There are a few of the smaller shields that look pretty good with the end cap.

I sure feel like I just voted no shield, for the third time? Could it be that adding a shield choice to a no shield primary choice as instructed in the first post could glitch the software?

Nothing to worry about. When you choose to change your vote, you have to reselect both votes.

You are able to select No Shield and a specific shield choice, because in the likelihood that the pro shield option wins, you should still have say in the specific shield.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your scenario
