2019 Traditional Forum Knife...The First Poll

[Jiki]

Do they make tortoise shell acrylic in wood?

 

[Elgatodeacero]

If it does end up being acrylic then why not go all the way and add the gold glitter to it?

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

Do they make tortoise shell acrylic in wood?

For voting purposes... yes.

 

[JohnDF]

Still wood for me... let the polls begin.

 

[Ajd3530]

So...

Tortoise shell acrylic
Rat tail bolsters
Federal shield

Let’s get after it.

I like how you start out, but me personally, this being a larger frame, I'd like to see a larger sheild. Something like the bowtie, or the crown. We haven't seen those in a while..

Add a satin blade and bareheaded too.

This knife is for a worker, a sailor, an electrician, a tradesman. It is not built to be carried in a purse, but in worn overalls. It is carried by a man who would like to trade in his F150 for an F350 (with dual wheels). A man suckled on boilermakers. Weaned with red meat.
Manhood proud, with honor and Masculinity rampant.

What he needs is Rust Red Jigged Bone!

 

[lavishmammal]

I'm all for acrylic covers. White pearl acrylic looks nice. Tomato or cherry soda are pretty cool as well. Just a few that I like from past runs.

Nah, that guy voted for Buck.

The turquoise is one of my absolute favorites. We haven’t seen it for a long time though, so I assumed it was off the table.

 

[Jiki]

Rust red saw cut?

IF torquise was a choice, I'd vote that over tortoise shell.

 

[Sabercat]

Not sure if I'd pick any acrylic over a bone or wood material. But if there was an acrylic that would convince me to do so, it would be...

Neptune Acrylic.

 

[lavishmammal]

Neptune Acrylic

 

[r8shell]

What? No buffalo chips?

While I've been pushing for glitter acrylic, I really think wood covers would suit this pattern best.
How's about some Osage?

 

[lavishmammal]

Sandbar acrylic...pretty rare iteration.

Blue angel acrylic

 

[H2O2HI]

Nah, that guy voted for Buck.

I like acrylic, but I don't like the requirement that we take sensitivity training before its purchase. Show a man's knife in pastel in a tavern no one will buy you a drink.

 

[Makael]

Does GEC go under a different name on here? I dont see GEC or Great Eastern Cutlery.

 

[Pgg365247]

Hard pass on acrylic of any sort!

Wood covers would be my preference. I'm open to many different types of wood. When does the winner of this poll get officially declared? Is it Thursday (tomorrow) at 12:12AM? When does the voting/input on covers, shield, and bolsters "officially" begin?

Does that mean r8shell and @pertinux can't have this years knife?

 

[st8yd]

Keeping my vote for Buck. Im not sure why I dont see GEC or Fox on the list. Maybe its just the vendor.

Really???? I don't pay any attention to the other manufacturers here. (I spend too much what little I do)
But I would think a forum knife should be from a forum supporter! I think the forum supporters should be treated better than that! If that's the case then gec and fox shouldn't have even been a consideration!
