I'm still holding out hope for acrylic scales this year. Over the years we have had a fair share of many covers, but acrylic isn't represented. I'm not a huge fan of acrylic, but think it fits the current germ reduction trend of 2020, and would be unique to CK regular line as I don't think acrylic has been used yet... plus will help keep cost down. Crossing my fingers for an acrylic swayback.

OK, so a Viper Swayback it is. Let me talk to them a bit.

What we could probably pull off by the end of the year is a unique set of slabs and a custom etch. If they get on board we will move forward with this as an option.

I'm probably in the minority but I still think a light blue and white (BF logo colors) in swirled Kirinite might be pretty cool.

The sowbelly was my choice but the swayback with unique covers and a custom etch should be outstanding

Go for it! We don't need a bunch of run-off polls. The Swayback won, even though it wasn't one of my top two choices, I'm perfectly fine with it. K.I.S. and thanks again!

Question; does Viper offer a Rams Horn that is comparable to Lionsteel's?
 
Well I am probably out just no need for a 2nd Swayback but glad to see things moving forward. That suggested synthetic blue & white swirl pattern is pretty cool idea but so is Rams Horn.
 
Excellent! That Swayback looks a most impressive offering. There's been no Swayback as a Forum Knife before so it's high time.

Horn is problematic to obtain a large consistent batch of, but it looks fine.
I'd be happy with a nice Micarta that's polished, Natural, Burgundy or Ivory colour. Smooth Bone would be highly OK too.

Let's hope this can proceed as one in the eye for this Covid horror, supporting the Forum, supporting knife enthusiasts and knife makers :cool::thumbsup:

In lieu of an etch, an official card in the box would be alright too, or a pin :)

Great stuff Mike:thumbsup::thumbsup::D

Regards, Will
 
I think it is sad there was no poll between the top two choices, but I am happy this project is moving forward.
 
Excellent choice, can't wait to hear what the scales will be!

Carrying this for the next couple weeks in anticipation.

I agree. The Viper Swayback is one of my favorites but I usually dont buy 2 of the same knife. Hopefully it will have some awesome and unique scales
