I am really torn as to which one of these patterns I should do a run of next. This is not a for sale thread, there are no knives available right now. This is a "which one of these do you like better?" thread.

Number One, Chunky Monkey:

Number Two, Nettle:

Please vote on the poll. Vote for the pattern and the steel.
 
The Chunky Monkey in 52100 (I believe these will be neckers?)

And hurry up, I want one please!

Hmmm, pole results don't look good for me....
 
And.....I'm am idiot. I just realized there have been votes without people commenting. *face palm*

Looks like I need to order more CPM20CV!
 
Well, I was one of those, didn't think you wanted comments. The nettle for me looks like a suitable blade shape for my needs.
Since I posted a comment, do I get on a list for one, or will it be first come basis????
How many are you going to make????

PMs sent gentlemen. Again, this is not a pre-order or a sales thread, just a poll. Let's keep all discussion of ordering to pm and/or email. I don't want this locked.
 
Which steel would somewhat depend on how you are doing them (what hardness); though, if you're going on the soft side of 60, it doesn't really matter. Chunky monkey, either way

62 across the board. They're small knives, they work really well that hard. I might run the Nettles at 60-61, but the test blade at 62 works well and that's what Bead Stallsmith at Peter's Heat Treat recommended and he heat treats A LOT of steel.
 
Also, I'm going to have some of both patterns in AEB-L in 0.125" thick and 0.070" thick. The thin stuff will slice like a laser.
 
Thanks to everyone who voted. I'm going with the Nettle next. Check out my sub forum for details and the preliminary interest thread.
