I should be picking up a res jigged bone as well then I will make my decision of which one is going to be the user. Initially I wasn’t too crazy over my smooth white bone when I pulled it out of the tube but now that I have it side by side with my ebony it’s definitely growing on me. The Cocobolo’s are nice but I have a few Cocobolo’s in my collection already so I wanted some new covers. Both this ebony and smooth white bone are new to me.

Two beauties indeed!
 
Man I really wish they went with a more traditional shield on more of these. The banner absolutely nailed it. The more I look at my elephant shields the more I think it's an odd gimmick. Love the pattern with the blade shape, just don't think 3/5 needed an out of the box thinking animal shield.

I hear ya. The banner is surely the best of the bunch. I guess at least on 3 of them the shield is indicative of the pattern even if it is a little cheesy. It sort of fits with the white one as it is an Elephant Toenail and it's India Ivory Bone. I really don't care for or understand the bullhead on the red one. Oh boy, it's American Cattle Bone! How rare! :) I guess it was just to designate it not being the India bone on the others. I do like the pattern though and it's uniqueness.

The banner shield is ideal on this frame. Just got a coco on a trade and its fantastic. I don't really like the looks of any of the other models (though the ebony is striking), but the Coco is a homerun, the perfect mix of features across the board. Feels great in the hand, too.
 
I have the India bone and the Red jigged on the way, but I really like the looks of the whitebone. Guess I missed out.
