There were an awful lot of votes for the sowbelly clip and the gunstock clip. I guess we will never know, but I wonder how the barlow would have fared in a head-to-head runoff with the swayback.

I like the Lone Ranger mask, but it would look funny with my glasses.
But those two things would make it a modern knife and we couldn't post it on the Porch.Don't forget the thumb stud and pocket clip.
In addition to the Lone Ranger mask and glasses. Add a hat and you'd be doing a pretty fair invisible man imitationRespiratory protection mask, Vince, respiratory protection. Take care, Vince, take care.
Dan.

Conjecture. Maybe there are others that like clips and dislike wharncliffes. Maybe there are more than you think that consider barlow their first choice. I like Case, by the way; I don't "suffer" with it.I think Swayback would have won in a landslide. Lots of people only had Barlow as a second choice. Face it, we've been there, done that, and good ones are common as dirt. A swayback of high quality? No more suffering with Case or waiting forever for GEC? Slam dunk.
No more suffering with Case
I don't "suffer" with it
Yes and Ive been thinking about this....we have started our own tradition...it began in 2006 and continuing up to 2020 an annual event/production with a tangible result..doesn't that equal a tradition?Traditions have start sometime.
I don't think any of us are going to forget this year,ever. And just think we're just a little over half way throughThe blue face mask acrylic definitely gets my vote (if its even a possibility).
10 years from now, just looking at the knife, "yeah, i remember that year. 2020 sucked."
Just Remember there are more & more members Of the “Flat Earth Society all around the planet, every year!Yes and Ive been thinking about this....we have started our own tradition...it began in 2006 and continuing up to 2020 an annual event/production with a tangible result..doesn't that equal a tradition?
Soo theoretically we could organise for a supersteel synthetic carbon fibre thumbstud pocketclip self cleaning mall tanto with ceramic blades and it would be part of the tradition... .in theory.........but then I also recently heard a theory that the Earth is flat and everything "they" teach in schools is a lie.....didnt believe that one either.![]()
I "suffer" with Case having discontinued the 2-blade Swayback Jack in cv.I like Case, by the way; I don't "suffer" with it.
I don't "suffer with Case" either...
I suffer with GEC discontinuing SFO's, and canoes, and #22 Gunstocks, and #76 Outlaws, and ...I "suffer" with Case having discontinued the 2-blade Swayback Jack in cv.
