I like both of them a lot. The black and white acrylic is nice, guess this would the grits with butter and molasses acrylic, without the brass showing through.

That would be my guess as well. Probably white paint on the liner side.
 
Copperhead Sawcut and Black Cherry Sawcut.
Black Cherry is gonna be my pick.

My top pick would be antique yellow. Next, maybe spring green like on the urban jacks or copperhead.

I don't imagine that going to the Rendezvous is all about picking up rare knives, at least not for all.
As long as you are fortunate enough to go, talk to fellow Porch members, and enjoy the experience... that's what's most important.

For me , the great things about going to the Rendezvous were , meeting some great people , putting faces to some of the people on the Forums , getting to see some of other folks collections , some chances to pick up some knives that will be fairly rare , and a chance to fill in some of the Gaps in my meager collection of Northfields .

waynorth waynorth , Charlie, I believe this is the same color that JohnDF JohnDF and Sacto Sacto have recommended and described as Antique Yellow. On the two knives pictured below, it is called Dark Chestnut (Barlow) and Chestnut (Beer Scout). Whatever it is called, it is very pretty. I believe the Dark Chestnut looks best. Either would be a great choice, because ALL of the knives will look great; no lottery losers with this color scheme. Copperhead is similar, and would be another good option to include. Anything in this color spectrum would be my choice.

This is going to be a difficult poll for you to construct! How do you plan to do it? Group similar colors together for the next poll and then have a final poll to select the exact shade? If you did it this way, Antique Yellow, Chestnut, Dark Chestnut, and Copperhead could be included in one category. If that category is selected, we could then have a short poll to pick the exact color. You could also group the reds in a similar way, etc.

I bet one other thing you did is pray that Bill Howard held back some knives to sell tomorrow!

Does anyone know if they usually put out fresh knives on Saturday morning at the Rendezvous or is our hero SOL?

There might be a couple flippers there who could offer their assistance.!

At least you should be able to get a hotdog tomorrow as long as you don't sleep in.

(There you go Jiki Jiki ! AnW AnW has kindly given you the information you need for a good night's rest. Now get there EARLY in the morning. And if you meet anyone selling one of Charlie's Red Soup Bone Barlows, I will offer my farm!)

Good Luck from your friends on the Porch!

Bill did say he was keeping back knives for Saturday. Seems like he did about 60/40% Friday/Saturday for the 38 Whittier’s. I assume they did something similar for the other SFAs and Store knives.
 
I would be very happy with Chestnut/antique yellow or Copperhead. What I can tell these look very similar so I suggest only offering one of those options so it doesn’t split the vote. I do prefer copperhead the most.
