You are doing a better job on your etch than I am. Working on it though!

I’ve been using the boiled vinegar and water method. It works pretty well.

That might be my next step. I used it on some creamy cheese, cut up an apple, and then peeled some orange peels for cocktail hour, then did about 20 minutes in apple cider vinegar. Thought that would do a pretty good job, but it’s just a fainter etch.

Such a nice knife though I know the etch will fade.

two exactly same bokers, I didn't like the uniformed jigging when compared to an old jigged knife,so I did an extra little something something to the jigging which I call molten lava lol.but I wish the jigging was more mishy mashy today then uniformed.

I boil vinegar for two minutes in the microwave. But first, make sure you clean it very well with rubbing alcohol (or fingerprints will show.) Dip in vinegar until desired darkness. Neutralize with water. If you don’t like the look, you can always rub it off.

The only thing worse than fake saw cutting is fake patina……… you people should be ashamed!

This is the first and probably only time I’ll do it to hide the hideous hipster.

The pull feels like a five to me, and they both have good snap. The fit and finish is spot on. Overall I’m happy with both. I prefer the Richlite over the Tractor Green, so I’m letting Mrs. Crappie have the Tractor Green.

If Mrs. Crappie doesn't like green, I'm your huckleberry.

I’m still hunting for a green but I’ll get a brown richlite posted soon

How can we call it sawcut when it's *not*. It's CNC'd, great if you like it but it's milled, not sawn. It doesn't look remotely sawcut to my eye. I run a tablesaw quite a bit and have seen plenty of rough sawcuts. Sawcut style? Imitation sawcut?

I also run a table saw quite a bit, along with many other saws and share your observations.

I am also a semanticist, and support your concerns.

I will give the name some more thought.

... Milled sawcut?

Hmm... possibly more to follow.

To follow the GEC naming convention it would be sawcut jigged. But i guess all sawcut is a type of jigging so that brings us full circle.

Yes. Why, though, would they follow their own convention? Hahaha.

Are you telling me that this Grizzly cut bone was NOT done by a bear?

I got some opinions. I wonder how fast they would hang up on me.

They won't answer.

Very good pin finish on those examples, top drawer!

Thanks, Will

You seem pretty on the ball for getting in some trophy knives (that also get used ) What are my chances?? At least you just have a land border to cross whereas I have some damn ocean and half of Europe

You're sowing doubt in my mind Sir - I have a #74 Stallion in Cougar Clawed Bone...

So, I asked a random 6-year-old about the whole question, and this is what he came up with:

'Bone' or 'Stag' or 'Ebony' etc are materials, while terms such as 'Sawcut', 'Grizzly Cut', 'Cougar Clawed' etc are descriptors

I agree, it's difficult.

 

[Alex.Y.]

'Sawcut', 'Grizzly Cut', 'Cougar Clawed' etc are descriptors

Descriptors in turn are divided to visual execution descriptors like 'Grizzly Cut', 'Tractor Green', 'Goldenrod' etc. and physical execution descriptors like 'burnt (stag)', 'jigged', 'sawcut' etc. In accordance to latest news, we have a dilemma if the term 'sawcut' still belongs to the physical execution descriptors category, or will it from now on refer only to a visual execution of a handle material used.
