Buck 110 LT Drop Point COLOR Poll (and Giveaway of course)

[onionfan]

Blue handled stonewashed blade had the most votes, doesn't that mean that's the one that won?

 

[DeSotoSky]

I'm betting we see both, perhaps not at the same time but the tie can't be ignored. And how can SK loose, there are many of us who would buy both regardles of how we voted.

There are two blue options and two OD options. I believe Stephen will look at the voted handle color total regardless of steel finish.
Maybe I'm incorrect.

 

[BuckShack]

That would be a good way to resolve a tie. However there is no tie.

I would buy both colors if they came out at the same time.

Congrats to the winners in blue!
I’ll have to wait and see the shade of blue selected before I make up my mind on purchasing. It’ll be tough, since I was really looking forward to the upgraded drop point.

I don't think skblades is totaling votes by color at least I don't recall any such indication in this thread. It is possible since the underwhelming results for black blades could possibly be viewed as having split the vote unnecessarily.

 

[MT_Pokt]

I don't think it's fair to assume someone who wanted blue, orange, tan, green or yellow with a black blade would necessarily want the same color with a stone washed blade.

I originally voted yellow/black, but changed to blue/stonewashed because yellow and black didn't have a chance. Since this is a case where

the appearance is the decision we're making​

(because all would perform equally), I would think the results are pretty black and white (or blue and stonewashed, as it were).

Truth be told though, I don't really care which combo comes out. I have a display case ready for all of the future variations. Inexpensive to collect and a variety of blade/handle combinations forth coming.

 

[PirateSeulb]

I agree with you MT_Pokt a vote for a blade blade is not a vote for the stone washed. We also don't know where those 16 total black blade votes would have gone and certainly could have tipped the scales. I don't care who wins I certainly had my preference but it isn't a big deal as I doubt this will be the end of such models. I do think that the results of this are good and is fair to let stand. I also love to play devils advocate

 

[Ernie1980]

I say just let the results stand-and this is coming from someone who voted for OD! There are plenty of ways to count the vote to tip it in your favor, but for the sake of simplicity SK should just go for the one with the most votes IMO.

 

[OLd_gUY]

Agreed. One thing for sure - SK will come up with a way that will be fair. Like has been said before, not everyone can have it their way.
The best way to show appreciation for the hard work of putting this all together is to go with what is decided without complaining.

I'm good with any color. Not tipping the favor. Besides I live in this forum, not just participate now and again. I like them all.

You voted but might not purchase?

 

[Makael]

Title says color poll. Sub title says color and blade. Maybe well get both.

 

[street soldier]

You voted but might not purchase?

Nowhere is it stated that voting for the options of this knife is a commitment to purchase it.
I voted for the color I wanted. It did not win.
Depending on the shade of blue selected will be a consideration in whether I purchase this knife or not. If it does not appeal to me, I probably won’t purchase.
I don’t see an issue with this.
If my choice had won(OD green and stonewashed), I would’ve been happy that it was selected but would have no problems with anyone who did not purchase the victorious choice. There are several people who did not want the OD green color choice due to concerns of losing it during outdoor activities. That is a valid concern of theirs, and I would not have expected them to purchase this knife just because they voted in this poll.
I’m not saying that is the purpose of your question to me, but it can be inferred. If that is not your intent, I apologize.

.... There are plenty of ways to count the vote to tip it in your favor ....

Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.

I wanted a Yellow & Black Bumble Bee but in the end I crossed so that my vote would not be wasted.

It’s all good.
I was not insulted, just wanted to explain my thought process.
Have a good night.

I guess Stephen will have to toss a coin.

Or have a 1 on 1 poll with pictures of the blues and odd greens side by side

skblades Can "Grape Purple" be considered a shade of "Blue" for the shade of "Blue" poll?

I was able to dye my Smoke Jumper ok.

This dye doesn't come of on your hands or clothes?

 

[afishhunter]

Almost forgot.
We have a Red 110LT and now a Blue 110LT.
The next 110LT NEEDS to be WHITE ... maybe with a stonewashed spear point blade ...
Call it 'The Snowman'
