That would be good guess. Amarillo is the Spanish word for yellow.

I just hope you didn't mean Armadillo Bone!

Bear labels their yellow bone handled knives as amarillo bone.

They make knife scales out of Armadillo Hide. Gaudy as Hell to me.

Here's one from bf.com member and custom knife maker Todd Davison in natural Armadillo shell scales. I have seen both dyed and natural and prefer the natural look myself.

I remember seeing that TD for sale. Great looking knife, very original scales!

 

[d.parker]

Shell or Hide what ever. Still ugly as hell to me.

Shell or Hide what ever. Still ugly as hell to me.

d.p. brings up a good point as I have found these are not nearly as popular as Todd's stag, wood, bone, pearl or other exotic scaled knives, however, I would submit that these Armadillo scales are quite uncommon as oldrifleman points out.. And to see these unusual scales on any slipjoint by any maker, make it a rare specimen indeed.

Best,
Anthony

I think the Armadillo is quite beautiful!
But I'll taste/eat anything!
My brother thinks everything is ugly:grumpy:, and only eats peanut butter and jam, and burgers and fries and the like!
It's in the eye (taste) of the beholder!
Well, off to my Radicchio and Tofu stir-fry!! Yum!!

P.S. I guess if you dyed it yellow, you'd have (drum roll please!)
Amarillo Armadillo!

ooohh, that hurts my eyes!

 

[d.parker]

Sunnyd, Todd D. builds a great knife!! Congrats on yours.

 

[knifetester]

That knife looks real nice, I'd be proud to carry that one!

 

[The Moose]

Anyone got one? How is it?
