Photos Agents of SHIELD - Your Favorite Traditional Knife Shields

[5K Qs]

Here are a couple of Case shields I like because they seem to be less commonly used, and IMHO they work so well with the bone they're on.
I think this first one looks great on the sawcut bone:

And this red version of the "usual" Case shield looks sensational to me on the Navy blue jigged bone:

- GT

Is that a wharncliff blade on the blue knife? That is a mighty fine looking knife! The red shield looks great on green bone, too.

I agree in both "Case"s

Haven’t saw the Tree Shield yet.

sXeP, here is another one to add to your quartet. A Boker USA Tree Brand stockman from the early 1980s.

Thanks, Prester John . Yeah, that's a Navy blue bone mini copperhead with Wharncliffe main blade. I think it's one of my best-looking knives.

I agree in both "Case"s

Thanks, Kevin.

Are these "engravings" on wood handles considered shields??

Can scrimshaw play the role of a shield??

Are the Moon&Stars on this Okapi a shield??

THIS is definitely a shield!

Not sure if this would qualify as a shield. More like an inlay but it's close.

It's from 2 years ago, but has some historical value

Very good to see this thread in grand health again

Timely too, given GEC's latest 'controversial' shield choice for the newest 38. I'm a big fan of the pattern, but that shield? Not at all but that's the allure of choice and GEC certainly strives to offer it (even if it's the wrong choice )

Here, I like to feel they got it right and it's a question aesthetics/suitability.

The Oakleaf must be a challenge to inlet, but done beautifully. A simple Bar can look very effective too.
