Nail notch is tabled until the thumb disk poll finishes, which I'll post in a week or so.
We can safely say that S90V is a lock as well as the Nickel Silver Bolsters. I'm pretty certain Carbon Fiber will be the winner.
Clip vs drop is still close and we need to see how the stone wash matches up to the eventual blade shape and carbon fiber.

Correct!

I can't believe someone just posted a link to a competitor of the guy who's hosting this poll and giveaway. It's not against the forum rules to post those guys as they're paying members, but that was a pretty tasteless plug in my opinion even if that want the intent.

It does illustrate the point that the majority vote in this poll has basically created what has been done time and time again. Super steel drop point blade, check. Nickel Siler bolsters, check. Cool synthetic scale material, check. Lastly, nail nick, how boring.
That's why this poll disappointed me so much. We had a chance to create a combo that has never been done, but it always seems that the collectors win out over people that want to use the knife.
Oh well, such is life. Sorry for the rant, I am sick today and a bit frustrated.

Agreed, but I would take it a step further by adding a pocket-clip (you can always remove it) and some method for safe, easy, one hand opening.
Bottom line for me is that we could have had a 110 with studs/disk, aluminum frame, and pocket clip. This is something that has never been done before and the steel and scale material really wouldn't have mattered to me.
This poll would likely have been radically diffferent if not posted in the Buck forum. Here, you are likely to get more traditional results that are just minor variations of what has been done over and over again. I can't count the many times I have seen requests for a more modern version of the 110 and here we had a chance to create it.
