Shield Selection?

[300Bucks]

3, 1, 2 I like the classic look best. Still appreciate the tie to the historic era of hand finished quality.... Always hoping to find Grandpa's knife.......

I'd say 3 is my favorite. Then 2. Then 1

 

[JatMat]

imho: 3,2,1

3-2-1 Actually, I like the acorn shield you.ve been using even better, I kind of associate it with AG Russell.

 

[Will Power]

3 is excellent very authentic.

2 is good as well

1 looks like some cheapo sports trophy shield in my book....

How about a simple DIAMOND shield? They blend well with most styles. I look forward to seeing the finished products though.

 

[joe-bob]

Me too...3, 2, 1.

 

[OldPhysics]

A very personal choice ... but I'd say: 1, 3, 2.

I like the order that you have them in.

#s 1 - 2 - 3 does it for me too! I've always liked the "heraldic" (#1) shield.

 

[sidecutter]

" utility " ?? why put a shield at all ???

 

[mmarkh]

I like 3,1 then 2 but they are all nice.

 

[Capt. Carl]

1,3,2 for me.

 

[Snipe 1]

3-1-2

But I really like acorn shields

Since this is for utility purposes I prefer #2. I equate the Federal shield to a more upscale knife (can't explain why) so I will chosse #2 first then #1.

 

[STDK]

2 - 3 -1

2-3-1 for me also,

 

[rbmcmjr]

2 - 3 - 1

 

[lambertiana]

1 - 2 - 3

But it can vary depending on the pattern.

 

[scdreger]

2 – 3 – 1

 

[Mike Robuck]

2, 3, 1 also for me.

 

[BJE]

I like the acorn best, but since that isn't an option
3--2--1.

 

[canineforge]

2, 2, 2

Just my favorite.
