A WINNER!!Flat Beveled Bolsters or, What's in a Name? Clarification added!!

I like "High & Tight"--a reference to the military cuts I saw as a child growing up.

Of course, since you like this construction technique so much Charlie, and we already have a "Tom's Choice", why not call it a "Charlie's Choice"? lol
 
Here's my only flat bolster knife, which is lined as well.GEC 73 in Burnt Orange

As for names, best avoid Flatulence :D

But what else other than FLATLOW :cool:
 
I said faceted.
On that note, the area on a diamond's facets from the outside edge (girdle) to the top surface (table) is the crown. So crown-faceted bolsters? Flat-crown bolsters?
 
I'd say the knife pattern is a Flapjack (by rinos) and the bolsters are oblique.

I looked before I said Facet Jack and I honestly didn't see it r8shell that's why I posted it, although Charlie said he was looking for a pattern name, faceted is a description, Facet Jack is a pattern name so if it comes to be that faceted is used or it's Facet Jack whatever the general consensus is, I'm with majority. Actually the term Facet goes eek with any pattern Facet Swell Center, Facet Swayback. ;)
 
I thought we were naming the bolsters, as in "Are the bolsters threaded, or rat-tail, or beveled?" The Magnum is a Gunstock, so is it a Gunstock Pattern with '_______' bolsters? Or a '______' Jack?

I just confused myself typing this, cause I don't think I've had enough coffee, yet :D :yawn::D

The shape reminds me of a popular cut for gemstones: Emerald.

What kind of wood is on that Handle, Berkley??

The bolster does resemble an Emerald Cut.

Please note, I have added further clarification in the Original Post!

Don't expect to win, but when I saw the question the first word that popped in my brain was "Flevel" :)
 
Panini knife. Looks like those sandwiches that start out on a normal rounded bun that get mashed flat in a toaster grill.

Going off of this I would also suggest "crowned" bolsters or edges (like a rifle)
