Updated vote totals (only counted those votes which were cast since the Capt. called for a vote; Burnie's 10:39 p.m. vote was the last counted here):

25 votes cast.

A.) Stainless: 14
NOTES:
-5 participants expressly voted NO for stainless as they specifically requested a carbon steel blade.
-Since the other 6 voters did not vote for stainless, I assume that means they'd prefer a carbon steel blade. If this assumption (I know, assuming almost always gets me in trouble) is correct, the vote then currently stands at 14-11 in favor of stainless.

B.) Sawteeth/NST Grind: 23
NOTES:
-16 voters specified teeth.
-4 voters specified NST;
-3 voters said yes to "B" without specifying a preference (this was 4 voters earlier today; 1 of the 4 earlier "B" voters since clarified his vote in favor of teeth).

C.) Traditional Model #5 blade profile: 2
