Attention Well, what form should our BF Forum knife's bone handles take for 2021??

[Danke42]

Dang sawcut pulling away...

It just wanted it more.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

I’m sorry, it’s gotta be sawcut

 

[Mass1632]

It could change drastically early thursday when all the jigged bone voters see that it cant be jigged and decide to change their vote based on the lesser of their two evils.

 

[Jathes]

Voted smooth. As long as not-jigged wins, it is fine.

 

[huntnfishin]

I saw a cut
On my finger,
“Oh no!” I let out a moan,
As blood dripped on my handles of bone,
And on the side of my leg I managed it shut,
For I never lost my grip,
As it was saw cut.

Difficult to choose between jigged and sawcut, but sawcut edges out the other two options for me. I’ll be happy with any of them though!

I think we’re doing this poll wrong. We should do it like the American 24 hour news cycle during elections: call in “experts” in things you didn’t know there were experts for, and make big sweeping, over-generalized statements about possible outcomes. You know- milk it for all it’s worth.

Joining us now is D Danke42 , our leading expert in sawcut bone barlow favorability and huntnfishin , our local expert on kinetic friction of sawcut bone handles. Let’s hear what they have to say for “BF Scale Choice 2021: get a grip on yourselves”.

Sawcut - Copperhead, Chestnut or Antique yellow.

 

[Hyesouljah]

Alrighty, thanks waynorth .
With no camel bone option, the choice is tougher! White sawcut could be really cool but so would smooth white....

Has white sawcut been done before?

 

[Kiteman72]

Has white sawcut been done before?

I don't think so, but I'm not positive.

 

[Jack Black]

Has white sawcut been done before?

"Dirt trap!" (Just resurrecting a Forum knife tradition)

We can only hope.

Before anyone complains about folks changing their votes from jigged to one of the top two options:
This would just be a manual form of "Ranked Choice Voting" called "Instant-runoff voting"

Instant-runoff voting​

Sample ballot of ranked voting using column marks
Main article: Instant-runoff voting

"This system simulates a series of runoff elections. Voters may rank all candidates as their 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, and so on rather than indicating support for only one candidate.[12] A candidate with the majority (more than 50%) of first choice votes (the number one spot on the ballot) wins the election outright.[13] If no candidate is the first choice of more than half of the voters, then all votes cast for the candidate with the fewest first choices are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on who is ranked next on each ballot. If this does not result in any candidate receiving a majority, further rounds of redistribution occur.[14][13]"

Smooth ivory

 

[Kiro]

Some sort of dark green

I would prefer brackets where all the options line up vs. each other. Chestnut Saw Bone vs. Purple Jigged; Smooth Ivory vs. Platinum Glitter with the winner of each to face off till there is only one.

I'm just enjoying the process and looking forward to the knife. If I don't like the color in the end I'll peroxide and re-dye.
I'd like to propose that we have the option to put an extra $10 or $20 in when we purchase to: cover a knife for a community member who can't afford one (year before last I couldn't and have regretted it ever since), to buy the knife for the person organizing the annual knife, and to have a spare for a late arriving forum member to buy.

 

[MRpink]

Sawcut!

 

[Terdl76]

I don't think so, but I'm not positive.

Here ya go...
