These six models were my best sellers last year, and I want to do a special run of 10 of the winning design. You only get one vote, so make it count! In case of a tie, we will vote again.

Kephart

all very good knives, hope to own them, but, yeah, I voted for the toby's knife, kinda obvious I suppose for me because...well, it's my edc and my favorite at that :p
 
I voted for the Semi Wharncliff EDC. I think it was a nice addition to your line up, something a little different but still a very useful design. I hope to own one in 2013.
 
I voted for the kephart. That thing is gorgeous! Simple and understated, but still a beautiful design! It's a knife lovers knife
 
I voted for the Toby's Knife,my most used JK to date.
The Kephart I would call the knife of the century(s).
 
I voted for the TK. I said it would be my next JK, and if it gets the vote, it would make a great excuse to buy one.:D
 
i voted for the semi-wharncliffe EDC. i could have also voted for the Kephart, since i combined the SWE blade with the kephart handle as my first order with John.
 
I voted for the JKCBK.

I'm sure bias played a role, but (IMO) that is far and away the best looking knife I've ever seen. It is also amazingly handy.

I actually own all 6 of the models listed and were it not for my personal bias, I'd have one heck of a time picking one as my "knife of the year."

Whichever model wins - I want in on the list (#1 please).

As an interesting twist (to me, anyway)...

Should the JKCBK win and I got #1 in the limited offering..

I'd then own the very first issue of that model, and the #1 stamped version in the limited offering. The funny part about that is the fact that the very first issue isn't stamped with a number, and the stamped version (#1) isn't the first by a long shot.

Whew... I'd sure hate to have to explain that to my wife.

The non-numbered version is the very first issue of that model.

My wife - "But the other knife is #1, so it has to be the first."

Nope, the #1 isn't first. In fact there are many before it.

My wife - "You can't have two of the same knife that are both firsts. I don't think you understand how numbers work."

There is no number on the first knife.

My wife - "Then it isn't first."

Where's the Advil? I've got a headache.

My wife - "Mission accomplished."


edit: It just dawned on me that the same scenrio would take place if the Semi-Wharncliff is the winning model (I own the very first of that model too).

Oy Vey...

Taht's! what's up buddy. miss you around here. and, it's not just because of posts like that one. ^^ :D :thumbup:
 
If the question was "all time best JK", I'd vote for the Keppie. Since its "of the year", I went with the TK.

Don't have one and have not handled it but I just like the looks of it.
 
I voted for the Kephart. It just appeals to me. Its a do-it-all knife for me. Looks...function...performance....size...I just like it!
 
I voted for Toby's since it's been on my mind and on the order list.

BTW, if ViKtim was on the list, I would've voted for that. I use mine all the time :thumbup:
 
I voted for the kephart. I think your version of it is just about perfect. I truly dig it with the wood handles and in carbon steel for the nice patina. it's a amazing knife design to begin with and your touches make it that much better.

if I could vote 2 times then toby's knife was my next choice.
 
I voted for the warncliffe edc, its a very useful blade shape and a great addition to your line!
 
I love kepharts no doubt about it, BUT something about the Potawatomi Slim Necker (Jeff Shroup Design) grabbed ahold of me and said "you need one of me" so it got my vote
 
yeah yeah, quit showing off lol :)

I'll be in on the run to, i don't mind which wins since i always like an excuse for another Toby's knife and want the others anyway but I'd kinda like the excuse for a cbk or kephart the most :p
