Attention Pick a Color! Any Color!!

[beezwax]

I voted dark red, but definitely would jump ship if the red ended up more pink than ox blood. White/ivory would be my second.

Tough decision, torn between a couple, but no bad choices in the end.

Ivory is either extremely pale brown, or brown is extremely well aged ivory -- take your pick and make the right choice!

I went with the rotten banana. I hate bananas, but I think that color would be so handsome in saw cut bone.

Thank you for the mock-ups!!! Now that you can see all the options, brown is the CLEAR best choice

 

[Bigfattyt]

Voted red. I love a nice deep red on a cover, and I don't own any red my self.

 

[Wharn]

Where’s the “Anything but red” option? I vote BROWN. Copperhead, chestnut, dark brew, anything would be nice.

You won’t know until you get a pink knife, at which point it’s too late to jump ship. Just vote brown to be sure you get a good one.

I was really hoping for the smooth beveled white, thought with these bolsters it would be a super classy option (not that I dislike sawcut at all).

With sawcut winning and getting brass liners and pins I am leaning towards a chestnut or deep amber tone (which I think? fall into those 5 or 6 brown options?) . But I would revert back to white over the varying red/pink possibilities. IF IF IF a deep DARK red could be a guarantee ... maybe ... but since it can't. And a blue BF knife could be appealing, but it seems dead in the water from go ... so ...

Now I made you read all that to hold my vote and where it goes in a day or two ... you're welcome!

Watching all this squirming is at least entertaining!

Dyeing Bone: A Tutorial

I've come up with a method to dye bone scales. I've had very good results with the following method, but please be aware if you decide to try this that there are many factors involved and something could go wrong and ruin your knife. Please don't attempt this on a knife that has sentimental or...

This is a great opportunity for a white sawcut bone.

Once in a lifetime chance! You dont want to miss out on this! And if you dont like it, dye it! Dye it any color you want! If you want it smooth, sand that baby down! In this once in lifetime chance, sanding it wont even debase the color! Feel free color it at any time! Dont delay! This once in a lifetime chance can be yours! But wait! Theres more! If you need to change your vote to white, we will throw in a free “ata boy!” For the first 15 vote changes!

ok, im exhausted…

This is actually pretty convincing, it leaves a lot of options open for the end user.

I'm still in for red cherry atm.

I surely wouldn't be sad to have one in a brown tone, but I still think a dark red would have more wow factor. I don't know the first thing about dyeing bone scales but GEC has a fair bit of experience with it and is certainly capable of deep reds...it can't be a total crap shoot, can it? There must be some way to steer clear of the magenta end of the spectrum and keep it dark if that is the stated goal. Or is that not in fact the case?

Going to have to check out a few more pictures before I vote.

That Black Cherry has way more black than cherry though, disappointing.

Brown is indeed the best choice.

 

[JoKr]

no doubt what i take...

 

[Will Power]

We have White Nights here now, sun shining at 3a.m. and never really goes down

So, it'll be All White on the Night

There's enough brown in life anyway

 

[Nature Boy]

My current vote is for white, but, in general, brown and Barlow just go together so well.

 

[E40]

I am sticking with red.

 

[Old Hunter]

So someone mentioned dark red handles? I could live with that. OH
