New Information Needed on the 2016 Forum Knife!

I won't quote everyone who agreed but yes to worm groove, long pull, carbon and yes to a bar shield!
 
A) yes to worm groove I like the look
B) Yes to long pull, and a double grooved punch please
C) Yes to carbon steel, I enjoy the contrast of patina to shiny bolsters.

Thanks for sticking with it Charlie!
 
Thanks for you work on the 2016 knife. It is very kind of you to spare your time, effort, and expertise.

A. Worm groove .... YES !!!

B. Long pull ...... Yes

C. Carbon ....... Yes ( Fine with SS also. It's a 50/50 toss up)

Thank again
Scott

A) That's fine with me, GEC wormgroove would be cool.
B) I much prefer nail nicks, I find they have easier access and make the knife easier to open even with a strong pull (because nail nicks are usually farther from the pivot).
C) I'd be fine with carbon, but I'd definitely also be fine with stainless.

First off, It looks like I am committed to seeing this knife through to completion! I seriously hesitated, but the enthusiasm won me over. Thank you all!

A) I asked Bill about worm-groove jigging! He thinks we can do it. It's an extra step in the process which might cost as much as $1.50 to $2 per knife.

I think he will make an extra effort to make it good looking, as jigging is important to him. He has been a long-time student of the art!

What do you say? Please comment!

B) Do we really need a poll on a long pull? Gathered comments through this process have suggested an overwhelming preference for long pulls.

More comments please!

C) We did a Stainless knife last year, and I love mine!
Let's do Carbon steel this year please! It is way easier to get an acute edge on the punch, IMO.

Carbon steel or a Poll? What say you??

Carbon, worm grove, long pull spear works for me. :) You know you had me when you said it was gonna be a 2016 Traditional knife this year Charlie. Like always anyway I can contribute just let me know guys.

:thumbup:
 
worm groove - not my favorite, but i'm in either way.
Long pull - looks great, yes please
Carbon - yes

Thank you sir!
 
I'd definitely be in for the worm groove. I really like most worm groove bone that I've handled. I also prefer long pull and carbon blades.

If possible, I'd strongly prefer the main blade to be pinchable. It should be, seeing as how it's a spear and the punch would be coming out of the other end, but I just wanted to put it out there.
