Where was that photo of the bloodwood 85 earlier in the polling? Wow! (I definitely could have missed it though - there's been a lot to sort through)
Unless Wood Peckers are threatened or on the endangered listPecker Wood!!! Any chance we can add Pecker Wood to the list and extend the poll again and vote for it. You know, the kind of wood that's been pecked by wood peckers until wood peckers can't wood peck anymore. Don't worry. Only the wood peckers are endangered not the pecker wood they leave behind. So Pecker Wood would be a good choice.

^^^ yes, yes and yes!
Has this poll been extended a few times or is it just the longest poll in the history of polling???![]()
Looks better to SOME. Not to me. Wonder if there will be a poll? If so, I hope it lasts only three days!Hopefully YES! With the thicker gauge steel GEC is using for the blade we're going to end up with a thick spring. It's going to be a big hunk of metal to move. Traditionally EO notches has precedence. This knifes great grandfather might of been a WWI Navy knife. Many of those knives had EO notches. I think it not only makes the knife easier to use, but will also look better (for this knife).

I'm in no hurry for any more polls. But one that requires new tooling will certainly not be forthcoming.
Or --ugh!-- BLOODWOOD!If this wasn't extended we would have had Orleans shield and Ironwood...

Naw....iron wood overtook bloodwood when the poll would have been done.Or --ugh!-- BLOODWOOD!
