Attention Select Your Favorite Brown Tone for Sawcut Bone!!

[mbkr]

THIS!! 100%!! Just the fact that there is currently no GEC sawcut in Hemlock Green has my vote as well. It's a great color, sure to win over all those Black Cherry fans as well.

This knife has long since been re-homed but it's about the closest I was able to ever capture the beauty of Hemlock Green.

Why, pray tell, is this called "green"?

I don't have a dog in this fight, but y'all should clearly go hemlock since it will be unique.

 

[draggat]

This is the best execution of Copperhead.

You are correct!! Here is the second best execution of Copperhead.



Unfortunately, I think it looks better with the correct style of jigged bone as well...... my vote stays Hemlock Green!

 

[BigKurtHaze]

C’mon, not hemlock!

Where were y’all when you could vote green in the last poll?

Surprised more of our white/ivory voters haven't gone with Sepia as it's the closest to a well worn/aged white as it gets. Also the sawcut no matter the color will most likely look quite different than the jigged bone examples being posted ... for better or worse is hard to tell. I guess it'll take more time to see what the "real" options turn out to be as it draws closer ...

This certainly feels like the old okie doke. A red dye named a different color, green, in the brown dye poll.

Always thought that was one of Charlie’s best sawcut colors. Not sure what Bill concocted in making that. Has that Hemlock look in that picture.

Hemlock!

I like how hemlock "green + red = brown" kind of looks maroon, so it's got my vote. At least I'm hoping it looks that way, but I guess it depends on how they turn out since it tends to vary in color.

A few more photos of hemlock.. in reduced light it looks very dark, but in the sun you get that 'pop' of red at the bolsters which just glows.

 

[Jsega51]

Hemlock!

I wouldn’t mind more green….

 

[knife_fan]

I voted for hemlock. Never understood why GEC called it hemlock green, but it's a cool color nonetheless. Plus it hasn't been used that often, so it will have that uniqueness going for it.

I suppose I see that a little, but to me it looks much more in the brown family than red! However, I’ll admit that had red won the previous round of polling I would have pushed hard to see Hemlock in the final round there as well!

I think it’s more unique than any of the other options suggested in either of the brown or red categories, and obviously rare enough that there are few knives to show, and none of them sawcut. If we want something uniquely special for a forum 2021 knife, I think the choice is clear.

Hemlock Green unites all... Red + Green = Brown

 

[BrotherJim]

Forum knife should ship around Christmas by my guess. Red + Green yields a festive and unique sawcut Hemlock. Could be some awesome 'brown' going on if that's what it comes to.

 

[Alpha556]

Black Cherry was my first choice but Hemlock is OK in my book !

 

[EngrSorenson]

Boy, I’m torn.
Sepia, dark brewed and hemlock are all looking great to me tight about now! I’ll have to sleep on this!

 

[A.L.]

Went with copperhead (for now at least) but they all look so good to me!

This is my personal experience with Hemlock Green. I had to dig deep in my archives, I only took a few pictures of it before I ended up trading it for the same knife, but in Blood Red.

In my opinion, it is definitively brown but like with any dark colored bone cover, it lightens towards the bolsters and usually shows hints of red and lighter browns. It's a very attractive cover and I do regret letting it go but do not regret the trade I made awhile back. It could look rather striking in sawcut.

For red being so close in the last poll, its alright with me how the hemlock kind of became its consolation prize. I could have seen the same thing happen with copperhead if red had won.
