I’m interested if it’s not too late to sign up!

I’d vote for accuracy so resin grip, but that’s just me.

I'm in for either one. I know that is not much of a help.

I'd also go for resin, the only reason for me to get this is accuracy.

I'm good with either one, assuming that the brown paint/dyes in the resin are semi-permanent and won't rub off. If resin means a display piece with limited handling only, then I'd prefer the natural stag. I'm the type that definitely goes for accuracy, but I will almost always somewhat sacrifice that to have something look/feel/act like a real world object

Also quick question- are resin grips more/less prone to cracks over time than natural materials? Sometimes I see older knives with hairline cracks on the side and was just curious if one is better than the other.

Due to unfortunate circumstances I am gonna have to pass on this, but I look forward to seeing it come to life.

Those 200 years old knives have the reply: if you want the highest durability, go for stag.

I'd be very interested, as long as the blade length doesn't exceed 15cm? Since Japan has rather tough laws on the import of blades with longer than 15cm bladed sections.. If you could check that for me? I would probably be in for one too!

I may go for either R or S depending on a couple of things.

1. Durabilty of color. I'd prefer a real knife capable of EDC, not just a prop. Sounds like the metal portion will be that. If resin handles are painted, how durable will the painted finish be? In other quality resin handle knives, is the finish painted on or cast in? I don't recall ever seeing one with a flaking, peeled or scratched up finish on the scales.

2. Price. What are we looking at as a cost difference between the two?

When I have these answers, I can provide my vote. Thanks for your perseverance on this project!

 

[Chose Poorly]

I’m leaning S (stag) but am curious to hear the response to T-Bone’s inquiries in the last reply.

 

[parfaitelumiere]

No change in price, I was thinking about integrating colors directly inside the resin, I already tried this, it's not bad, better than paint, and more durable.

I would be interested to sign up if not to late.
I would prefer accuracy to the screen used prop, so resin.

That being the case I could go either way. Slight preference for real stag but as long as the handles aren't painted and look good I could find that acceptable.
