Attention Pick a Color! Any Color!!

I cast my vote for BROWN... Antique Yellow to be exact... Trying to counterbalance all the votes for Pink

Oh no, red and black cherry are together!

Lol, I want black cherry the most, and red (aka GEC pink) the least.. what to do

Is Hemlock Green a red?

My favorite GEC red!

I think it would be good to have some examples and names of the browns otherwise the Red is going to runaway with it. Brown just doesn't sound as appealing without examples.

I voted red for a chance at black cherry.

Vote brown.

Except that is Elderberry. And many colors turn out like this on camel bone. I'm pretty sure we're getting good old cattle bone for our 86.

All things I'm sure everyone already knows...just wanted to be sure to keep it straight.

They really missed the boat by not naming it Raspberry Swirl.

On the one hand, I'm inclined to vote blue - I like the idea of the BF knife matching the forum color scheme; on the other hand, at this point I want to back waynorth up and vote white; but on the third hand red is my least favorite, so I'm going to wait and vote for whatever seems to have the best odds of beating red. (For the literally-minded among us, let me clarify that I don't actually have three hands.)

I'm right there with you. I'm voting White/Ivory because that's what I want. If near the end of the poll it has no chance of winning, I'm changing it to my second choice, which is anything but red.

You are correct; that is Elderberry on camel bone. Regular Red on cattle bone will only be pink on the edges.

The wood looks spectacular on that one.

My choice has not changed. I favor red and have had good success with GEC's red sawcut in the last few years - I'd love to add the forum knife in red sawcut to my modest collection (please pay the soup bone no mind).

I agree. That's the one I kept.

It's wood rather than bone, of course, but it gives an idea of how nice brown can look.

Blood red would be sweet! Like this Harness Jack

I do not have that knife anymore but I still have the rock! A chunk of serpentine.

Regarding the dye job - that one was certainly quite disappointing but it is what is to be expected with camel bone unfortunately. I have an example of each of GEC's red sawcut examples from the last few years (with the exception of the Cranberry TC and a NW) and each one has been excellently done. Somehow, they get the sawcut dyed right but they miss the mark on the jigged/smooth in many cases.

I still have the rock!

The rock is nice... it has good consistent color throughout.
