Gettin' Jiggy With It - Jigged Bone Photos

[GE Jr]

I rather like the jigging done on the GEC 25s this year...

I tend to agree with you.

Breathtakingly beautiful!

I thought maybe I could contribute a rainbow (ROYGBIV) of jigged bone, but I'm sure I don't have any yellow jigged bone, and I'm not sure I'd recognize "indigo" or "violet" if I had them! I'll post what I've got so far.
Red jigged bone on a Rough Rider medium stockman. This knife is very simple, but something about it moves me deeply!

Orange jigged bone (specifically pocket worn harvest orange) Case humpback stockman (thanks, Mike):

Yellow jigged bone: NADA

Green jigged bone on a Hen & Rooster mini canoe (thanks, Will):

Blue jigged bone on a Case navy blue Tru-Sharp mini copperhead with wharncliffe main:

Indigo jigged bone must be something darker than blue, right? Let's pretend that this 1978 NKCA gunboat canoe (thanks, TsarBomba) can fill this color slot:

Violet jigged bone: ??

Some of my personal favorite jigged bone is from Case's chestnut jigged bone CV series. Here's a photo of knives in that series that I currently have (and, as usual, my pics don't do the handles justice). If I ruled the world, I'd wish there were more consistency in the dye results from one model to another, but I still find them VERY impressive!

GT, your comparison photos of several different Case patterns all being Chestnut Jigged Bone and CV just confirm something. The colors are all somewhat different, but all still very attractive! The Chestnut Jigged Bone CV remains one of my current favorites from Case!

Last year's stainless GEC 15. This one, the 15 Navy Knife, and 74 Mustang all had different shades of Burnt Orange Jigged Bone.

I tend to agree with you.

I have noticed this positioning in other photos of yours, namely of a TC Barlow in the Waynorth's Birthday thread, and I really like it. It really gives you a feel for the knife that is lacking in the more traditional angles.
I am going to have to try some shots from this angle myself. I will call it the "GE" shot , unless of course you have another name for it.

... Amazing!

Thanks GE Jr

Thank you for the kind words, FLymon! But I don't think I invented it, as much as necessity was the mother of my stealing it from someone else, somewhere...most likely here. Necessity being It's the angle that I wished more mfr's and dealers would use when showing off their knives.

And - it's this lazy person's easy way of showing more than one side in a single shot.

Tozaki jigs with hand chisels. Amazing stuff.

One of those Violet dog bone 73s a while back would fill that niche.
Too bad they were a bit...violet?

Thanks, Ron; I couldn't agree with you more!!

Good memory, meako; one of those would be just the ticket for my rainbow jigging attempt!
And in the "Totin' Today" thread this morning, scrteened porch posted this yellow jigged Case that would have plugged the yellow hole in my rainbow! Thanks, Jer!

This one needs some pocket/using time. I've had it since Christmas.

Yes she did, my friend! A very nice knife indeed. Maybe some day soon I can do a group photo.
