It's bone linen but I'll keep an eye out for Ivory.
 
That blue looks good! I might need to check that out sometime. It's hard finding blue that isnt too light.

Ivory is usually paper micarta as far as I know and won't have the "grain" that the linen has. Bone had a nice antique look to it.

I had a custom knife a long time ago made by Trace Rinaldi called a “Sharktooth” that had ivory micarta scales. They had definite grain - for sure not paper micarta. The scales were a lot lighter than this bone color though. They were white.

I like that bone color better. It looks like aged ivory. Like a light butterscotchery shade - and I love butterscotch! :D

That sheath is looking good. The cowbell logo is too damn cool, and the maker’s mark on the spine so it shows just above the sheath looks great. :thumbsup:

Can't go wrong either way, personally I'm dying to see what the blue is gonna look like.

I decided against G10 for these (for now). I'm not a huge fan of G10 but the Ivory looks pretty awesome in hand. I think you're right though, this bone linen has a nice look to it.

Edited for clarity: I don't doubt for one second that yours was micarta Will, just wanted to bring up the G10:thumbsup:

That bone linen looks fantastic. Not too bright but strong and good looking.

You may be right, blue knives and Pert go together like peas and carrots.
