That stag is looking fine...

 

[WoodManGM]

I recall that DLT trading made a special order of blue 14s and they turned out very black. Fingers crossed!

I have one of those 2016s. It's supposed to be "Stone Wash Blue Jig Bone." It is black.

Looks like we will have some blue peeking through at the bolsters. Excellent.

If mine looks like those I'll be as happy as a clam.

 

[Travman]

I am glad to see some blue peaking through. I would have liked to see a whole lot more.

The problem is the jigging. It is too weak. It barely scratches the surface.

It makes one wonder how it will hold up after the polishing process.

 

[GE Jr]

Maybe even more of the blue will show up once polishing is completed, with that kinda-flattened-out jigging.(?)

Exactly. There may be a little more blue after polishing, but the jigging will be even less deep.

Pre pocket worn!

Pre pocket worn!

You read my mind

Is *smigging* a word?

Isn't that a cross between jigging and smooth bone?

Guess we'll find out soon!

I think the colour is going to be ok. A near miss. Still, a brighter blue would be more attractive on a smaller frame - small items should be lighter and shinier to appeal to the eye.

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

I think the color will be fine, but I agree with Travis. The jigging is pretty weak.

 

[Spencergarden]

While you all discuss the bone idiosyncrasies, I'm excited for the muslin micarta photos to show up.

 

[Ernie1980]

I agree on the micarta! I have micarta and stag versions on preorder

 

[Sabercat]

I think the color is great. I actually prefer the black look with blue highlights. Glad they are calling it Dark Blue.

The jury is still out on the jigging IMO. I wish these were Northfields, as those receive their more complex jigging.

Jigging and color aside, I really am curious what the shield choices will be on the 2 bladed ones.

Jigging and color aside, I really am curious what the shield choices will be on the 2 bladed ones.

I think the smooth white would look great with the oval shield. Keep it simple; classy. The simple bar shield looked great on Lyle's smooth white #14.

And I think the diamond shield would look neat on the blue bone, personally.
