Attention Pick a Color! Any Color!!

[redsparrow]

I'm concerned that red will be too pink so I voted green...

...Hemlock Green Viper, that way I get red, brown and green!

 

[Texoma]

my vote is in, Red, Black Cherry, Blood Red, I thank you again Charlie

Having grown up on the Great Plains of Nebraska, there’s only one thing I can say, GO BIG RED

 

[Ramrodmb]

Anything BUT "Red"

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).

If we're talking these kinds of reds, I'm in. I'll even toss a few more up to ogle for good measure:

waynorth or waverave or someone else perhaps in the know - are these kinds of reds doable with GEC's newer dying process? I've seen a lot more lighter dye than I have deep, rich lately. The Blood Red 85s from Mike's last run of Northfields was much lighter than blood red typically is...

Red is so ugly. Anyone know if it is possible to re-dye the scales if that turns out to be the choice?

I accept that I'm just on the counsil and haven't achieved the rank of Master but.....

Where is purple?


Voted for red sawcut though. The knives Pàdruig posted earlier in this thread are all mind-boggling.

[Catdaddy2]

Voted for brown and ivory would be my second choice.

If I recall correctly, the last time that GEC did a red sawcut was on the Northwoods Heritage Jack - which was in late 2019/early 2020. The hue on that one is pretty darned perfect as far as red is concerned where the 2018 run of 85s you mentioned was not - my example looked like a strawberry and I was rather disappointed in it.

Personally, I do not think we need to fret much on how GEC might dye their red sawcut - they seem to do really well at it. It's the red jigged that seems to lack consistency. If I recall correctly, we got a red sawcut 77 (also excellently done) and the NW 86 in 2019/2020 so it's pretty recent, all things considered.

My only red GEC. I was ok with this amount of pink but its too big a risk for me personally. Gonna have to go brown i think, will let it ride for a day or two
Edited cuz I sometimes type like a caveman

I think the forum knife should be white, and include a coupon for a package of Rit Dye in every tube.
Then every single person gets the color they want. Win, win!

Hemlock Green is a very satisfying color - I wonder how it would look in a sawcut fashion. Awhile back, I traded away a 66 in Hemlock for a 66 in Blood Red and though I do not regret the trade, I do regret not having that 66 in Hemlock anymore, it is a very fine color.

I voted red but support the black cherry option. Blood red is ok too but that black cherry spoke to me in the last thread. The knife will be great regardless the color and I’m in even if we get brown….LOL

 

[Fixall]

Man... I'm struggling with the choice between ivory, black cherry, and brown. All over the spectrum! I think I'm going to wait a bit longer until more examples are posted.

 

[MrsR&T]

I voted green, but red would be awesome too. I just really don't like browns, it's a sad color to me, I like things full of life!

 

[Pàdruig]

I do like White Bone (smooth) but truth be told, I am a little uncertain how it would look in sawcut. All of my examples are different in a sense so I would hope similar character of color would be imparted in a sawcut version.

What’s the name of the color on your northwoods? That and the clip 77 is why I voted red

I think it was just called Red Sawcut. The Clip 77, 25, and 14 are Blood Red and I think the the Spear 77 is just Red.

The only White Saw Cut that my Google powers could summon... actually looks pretty good.

If I knew they would turn out nice and dark like yours I would vote red, but I’m 0 fer 3 on GEC reds (all cattle bone too).
