Black Plum Jigged Bone, it sure does look like an interesting color, my wife loves it, I'll see if I get lucky scoring one but I'm still a big on Ironwood fan and I'm glad all knives are not made with Ironwood I would have to get out of retirement and back to work, NAH

I’m on standby for a jigged bone, was hoping someone may back out, but I doubt it now!

If they go really dark it could look like the Black Box Winchesters. I think I’ll have to track one down if that’s the case.

 

[Murphjd25]

It’ll be a Christmas miracle if I can get one of these. Fingers crossed!

I'd prefer the hotdog shield on such a long handle.

Yea, def something a little more linear, squatty shields for squatty handles.

I thought they weren't doing anymore SFO's ?

They may have already had a commitment from GEC. AAPK has had their forum knives mostly made by GEC since 2010 - long relationship there.

Getting closer!


And here’s the black plum jigged bone.

That's some nice looking Micarta.

I'm going to dig the color of that jigged bone - I am a little disappointed in the jigging pattern though. It's like tire treads...

That said - I have similar jigging on my Elderberry 82 and after some pocket time, it has smoothed nicely and looks a fair bit better.

I was going to mention that too, but decided to focus on that sweet looking Micarta.

I do like that micarta - and I know you don't care for the shield but I think it looks quite nice on that burlap. I can't wait to see the Federal on the jigged bone - it's going to look pretty swell.

These look amazing!!

 

[Nebrasketball]

I need to make sure I get one of those purple beauties.

didn’t check the website, is this the ironwood and is there a reason they specified Arizona ironwood?

I just read a little about North American iron wood. Iron Wood is found at the bottom of CA. , Arizona , and runs down the Gulf of Mexico to Baja. Indians used it the make weapons , "War Clubs". Indians made bread loaves from seeds of iron wood trees. So I guess they call it Arizona iron wood to make it sound more American ????

The burlap is looking great!!

I aint heard a peep out of AAPK about this 2020 AAPK club SFO run . I posted this photo all over the AAPK Forum web-sight . I even e-mailed AAPK to reserve my knife.
