IMHO you cannot beat this knife, straight fire
I hope GEC will use this material soon. They made a few #65 for the last rendez-vous. Im hoping for a run in the near future.

I personally think Case has some of the best jigging.

Probably THE classic Case cover.

Agreed, can't go wrong with a bit of vintage Case red bone.

Pretty much so far, yeah.

Oh heck. A couple/three/six more.

Excellent idea for a thread. Loving the shots, some stunners in here for sure.

I have a difficult time with threads like these. I primarily choose traditionals based on pattern/ handle shape/ blade shape or utility. However I will not purchase a knife if I find it to be too high on the homely/ ugly scale. I've been lucky so far and have been able to get quite a few handsome knives, narrowing down to a few isn't easy for me.

As of now, I think these are the prettiest covers I have. (Ask me again tomorrow and a few could be different.) Either because of the jigging, the colors, the depth... or just because.

The AB Meerkat in Warthog Tusk needs a lower light level to better catch the subtle colors visible, but the other knives would be too dark. Absolutely beautiful IMHO. Here's a recycled shot that shows the tusk colors better.
