Attention Handle Material for the 2021 BF knife!! 1st Poll

[Easyrider]

Bone. Ivory Bone.

Bone..... muscle bone, primitive bone, whatever they're calling the un-polished natural stuff these days. It may not be quite as popular as Glitter Gold, but there also has never been a purple forum knife..... the color of royalty!

The narwhal shield from r8shell‘s knife and this purple dyed bone and we have a real winner! The brass pins give it a bit of glittery accents. Oh yeah! This is the Forum Knife that we need!

 

[Blades of Glory]

Coco or Ironwood!

 

[Modoc ED]

Wood - something dark: Cocobolo; Ebony;

 

[Pomsbz]

It's interesting that although most of the comments are for wood, most of the votes are for bone.

 

[BrianB43]

Sawcut bone!

 

[Sabercat]

I chose my preference.

I'm looking forward to it whether I get my way or not!

It's simple... active Porch Contributors want wood, while the outsiders want bone.

When you click on the number of votes you can see who voted for what. I see a bunch of "Ol'Regulars" in both camps

I voted bone, but would be just as happy with wood . . . as long as it is sawcut or checkered, I don't care for smooth.

"Scratted" is the historic term.View attachment 1570439View attachment 1570440

You can always scrat smooth bone, but it's harder to smooth out scratted bone.

I'm good with splitting the difference and going with sawcut*

*but only if it's cut on a diagonal with a circular saw. Not straight horizontal bandsaw cuts.*

*not to be too picky.

 

[Pàdruig]

Though I would be perfectly happy with either option, my vote is for bone - sawcut or smooth, unless we get to pick our jigging (highly unlikely). I suspect that if wood wins out, we would likely end up with another black handled knife - nothing wrong with that (I do favor it) but it doesn't really set it apart from the 2019 knife a whole lot.

Will there be polls for other options or is handle material the only one?



Needs a pocket clip!

 

[pmek5]

Sawcut bone all day long

 

[Eversharp!]

I’d like to see wood covers.

Only if it's the vintage Westinghouse brown canvas.

at a 32 degree angle.....

 

[hornetguy]

after the poll closes, and all the mail in votes are counted, it'll be ebony wood, by a 3% margin.... just sayin.....

I voted wood, but my preference is for anything other than bone.
