FINAL FOUR -April Traditional Poll

[Ellis Wyatt]

Earlier in the week I posted a poll thread with 8 knives as potential carry knives for April. Turns out to be an even split between single and multi blade knives that took the top spots. Some great feedback from the participants, and I appreciate it.

The poll for the Elite Eight is closed, and the winners were:

2019 Bladeforums Traditional

The Case Damascus Whittler

The Remington Grand Daddy Barlow

And the GEC 35 Cattleman
View attachment 2134235

There will not be a Championship round in this game, the winner of the poll in this thread will determine which traditional I carry for the month of April.

Please select your favorite knife from the 4 options!

Thanks. Have a good day.

[Ruhiger Sturm]

Cattle Knife would be my pick also.

 

[sunknife]

Toss up, cattleman or whittler, because of extra blades.

 

[Jakeywax31]

Considering you've carried a Case all this month, my vote is fore the cattle knife as well. Great group to choose from!!!

 

[abcdef]

Bladeforum knife.

 

[mqqn]

Not a cull in the bunch, but I had to vote Porch Knife!

 

[Hickory n steel]

That 5383 sure is a beauty.

 

[rishma]

Anyone who doesn’t vote for the Damascus whittler has poor judgement

 

[mitch13]

I really like whittlers- and that case version is a winner!

Those are all awesome, Ellis. I’ll pick the 35.

However, if it were anything like my real bracket, there would be trouble. They would all be long gone before now —- the equivalent of; lost knife (Gonzaga), dropped knife (Houston), stolen knife (Purdue), ping of death (Arizona).

Haha. I don’t watch basketball, but a coworker convinced me to fill out a bracket this year, and I’m pretty sure I owe him lunch now. Last I checked, I was out of teams. Figured this type of bracket would be more fun.

Looks like the cattleman jumped out to an early lead. Will be interesting to see how it ends up.

I voted Remington just because I love that knife. Can't wait to see the winner!

I really enjoy carrying the Remington too. Suprisingly easy to carry for its size. The long blade works really well for cooking and food prep tasks. Lots of support for the Cattleman, and I wouldn't be upset with any of the choices.

The Remington was a real surprise to me, I didn’t expect to want to carry it as much as I do. But I wouldn’t be disappointed to see the Cattle Knife win, it’s also one of my favorites.
