I really like Ironwood, but the problem I have is it rusts so quickly. After about a year or so I think all the iron in the wood just starts rusting everything away. See the GEC in ironwood below.. it's about 6 months old. Too much iron in the ironwood I guess.

While that can be an issue with some older GEC Ironwood, I have been assured by the top brass at the factory the current crop will not do this. I guess they switched suppliers.

AB and Ebony, however, will off-gas like celluloid and destroy not only the knife, but every knife stored in the same location. A vote for black wood is a vote for total collection destruction. :D
 
Clem Ironwood the Pig Farmer

Clem Ironwood arose one morn and said to Mabel, his poor missus
She suffered immensely to put up with Clem, its always a crissis
Clem he said I heard from my bed those derned black slabbed pigs
They come thru the fence walk all around and crap on my digs

Its my neighbor Festus Bladeforum he got those dern black pigs
He’s dumb as a rock. Those black pigs are smarter than him
They are harassing my beauteous Ironwood pigs I don’t want them around
I’ll call Sheriff Makepeace and have m put in the pound.

My other neighbor Abner Bloodwood, he’s loony as loon Berries
That moron I say should be locked up with those infernal black slabs
With the nonsense he blabs
He said his pink pigs can fly over trees and they use red lipstick galore.
Those red pigs are pretty I don’t want them romancing my handsome Ironwood pigs
The result would be Acrylic slabbed bacon that nobody digs

Oh Mabel what should I do, with all the troubles on top my head?
Mabel she said, Make peace with Festus and Abner an go back to bed

With only kindness intended and due concern - it seems that the exposure to the redwoods in contention - why even just deliberating upon them - induces some form of paroxysm, and dillusion. Some of these stricken people - most notably - tmd_87 tmd_87 & @Will Power may be near aneurysms. :eek:

Oh my, I hope it's not too late. We need more black options to help alleviate the effects of the red toxin on these poor helpless ones o_O :confused:

Just sayin' - call in the medics before we loose them completely to the scourge of the red. :D :D

Can I just say how proud I am of those two Kingwood voters?

It would be sad if everyone actually did swing their vote to one of the top two choices.

Being one of the original king wood voters I would kindly like to invite these two members to swing their vote over to iron wood.

tmd_87 tmd_87 Wow, both threads at the same time ;)

The Orleans shield with desert Ironwood is too much.. change to the diamond shield for a more balanced cleaner look.

I'm not as good as waverave at Photoshop. Here's the best desert Ironwood with Orleans shield I could do. It should look pretty similar to this.

I like it! It looks like it should be sold at the gas station. Great mock up! You might need to refine some of your editing skills. @waverave can give you some tips....here's the real mock up for our 2019 knife....
