Man that lead isn’t closing…wonder what the chestnut and sepia voters are thinking right about now?

I guess all who are in the minority think that even if they (we) unite and vote for one of the light shades, we still won't beat two current leaders. 😞
 
Yeah, I don't think 150 people wanted Sawcut Hemlock when these polls started out but here we are
I'm already thinking worst case scenario, how to lighten it ... alcohol, Flitz ... or just carry and use until it's pocket worn ...
If it's not a beauty out of the tube, I think it will be eventually ... I hope so anyway

I feel like I need to get some popcorn out for the end of this. 😬 I'm really fine with most of these. I originally was leaning towards hemlock, but ended up changing my vote after thinking about it some more.

I think the most exciting part about today for me may be… if Hemlock wins, it might be the first time my first choice in a blade forums knife polling round has won since the early rounds of the 2018 knife! 🤯 :thumbsup: 😁

I'll still be interested in whatever we decide on but so far I've basically picked the opposite of what ends up happening.😅
 
This particular thru hike was not to be just one trail, but many. There have been multiple crossroads with multiple trails split from them. I had taking a few paths i hadnt planned but here i was. Just four days ago i had traversed from “bony sawcut gorge” to a trail by the name, “brown bend”. Brown bend had been the shortest trail of all and from what id heard, it was just a small stretch to get to the highlight trail i would be on this trip. Today would be the day i would reach that crossroads. Even as a trekked along i was unaware which path id be taking. With seven options, only two became relevent. I had heard tales of both but i decided i would let my feet guide me upon arrival. One trail was “copperhead valley”, a trail that hikers thoroughly enjoy. This is one of those places that give someone boasting power. Proof that im an accomplished hiker. While this trail is hard to get to and has some pretty sights, i understand there are other trails which show a similar view. Is it worth it just to gain bragging rights? The other trail is “hemlock grove”, its been said this is the only one of its kind. The sights there make it such an amazing place. Ive been told that with the density of the trees, and when the light hits it just right, its a match made in heaven. The issue for me is that ill be hiking it at a time of day no one else has. Its not like itll be night but i cant help but wonder how the radiance of the trees could be affected? Only a few hours left on the hike and then ill know. Both have amazing views and will be a great journey.

Dang, already thinking the hemlock grove hike should probably be more like night, with no one seeing how the moonlight affected the trees. Oh well. Its all fun anyhow.

it's something we chose with the priceless and selfless help of members who I hope a way is figured for us to pay for their Forum Knives.

I am moved by your wanting to pay for my knife, but everything I have done is for the good of the group. So your thanks, fealty and undying adoration will be enough. You can stop bowing now. 🤴

But maybe everyone can chip in a dollar or two for a few knives for the other guys.

Like Mets fans or Lions fans, Chestnut fans are true fans. 🤣

There are legitimately five choices in the poll that I'd be excited about... I can't lose with odds like that. ;)

well... I hope Hemlock is one of them, because me thinks that's the probable outcome.
Assuming each new voter has the same, or similar, tastes as the population they have a 152/334 chance of picking hemlock, for instance.
the odds of each new voter selects something OTHER than hemlock are still better, coming in at 182/334.
the odds of each new voter selecting the second place (Copperhead) option is only 128/334.

to take the lead, copperhead needs 24 votes, and given the current data that has a (128/334)^24 chance of happening, assuming there's only 24 voters left to cast a ballot.
Or 0.00000001%

It sure would be nice if we could get a long pull on this. I just hope to not have a poll on it. I can see it now, someone posts a picture of a cute girl smiling (nail nick) and followed by some funky person with a straight lipped expression (long pull). “Which would you want”, they ask. As if it has any bearing on the subject.

Those pix have about as much bearing on this poll as all these pics of hemlock jigged bone do.

Has GEC ever even done a long pull except for their Northfield UN-X-LD line? ... 'cause I don't know
I think a long pull would look nicest on the big 86 ... especially with a Fancy Bolster (in the works)

Posted this over on Barlow thread but saw this question from BrotherJim…several TCs came with long pulls. This photo also shows whatever color wins, the final knife will most certainly be a beauty.8FD41F26-9ACB-4351-8046-CE71FA3883D4.jpeg
