First and foremost, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this survey. We received a STAGGERING 1,070 votes! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Without further ado, here are the results:



Again, the categories were:

EDC's -- blade lengths up to 4.0"
Utility Blades/Fighters -- blade lengths from 4.1" - 6.0"
Camp Knives -- blade lengths from 6.1" - 8.0"
Choppers -- blade lengths greater than 8.0"

High scores are highlighted in red in the percentages section. By reading across, you can determine our favorite alloy, blade thickness and handle material in each category. So our favorite EDC, for example, would be constructed of 154CM (41% of the votes) with a blade thickness less than 3/16" (69% of the vote) and a Micarta/G10/Natural handle (43% of the votes).

We had one tie. In Camp Knives, blade thickness scored equally between 3/16" to less than 1/4" and greater than 1/4". So a blade thickness of at least 3/16" thick would be acceptable for a Bussekin Camp Knife.

In Summary, here are our favorites in each category:

EDC: 154CM, less than 3/16" thick, Micarta/G10/Natural handle
Utility/Fighter: SR101, 3/16" to less than 1/4" thick, Mudder handle
Camp Knife: INFI, at least 3/16" thick, standard Res-C handle
Chopper: SR77, at least 1/4" thick, standard Res-C handle
