The Beaver Tail, i presume it is jigged bone, but it does look like wood!!! Nice.While time is most certainly a factor, usage governs a great deal as well. Of these three I've had the 71 the longest, but regularly use the 44 as my eating knife.

Undoubtedly usage in time leaves its mark
And the appeal of patina is such we have an entire thread dedicated to it![]()
I believe the 2019 Forum #86 knives will go out after the Tidioute #86 Oily Creek bone Oil Field Jack knives. GEC has been making the dealer SFOs in the middle of the runs. Mr. Charlie said , "The black jack Charlie #86 knives would go out by late November. We should have our Forum knives this month. I am more excited about the #86 Oily Creek Bone knife that I have on pre-order.

Actually it is wood, Brazilian cherry in fact. It has some rich reddish brown in good light.The Beaver Tail, i presume it is jigged bone, but it does look like wood!!! Nice.![]()
