It seems that perhaps a few mock-ups might help? (I'll get cracking)

Darren,
When you get a chance could you make a mock-up showing saw cut Osage, maybe with the letters"BF", on the bolsters? Thanks, -James

With so many requests for white bone, maybe compromise with white snakewood.

I don't know about white snakewood, but
I must say, you guys have me sold on white bone!!
Nice contrast to the Ebonies of late!! And seems to complement the fancy bolster!!

Red soup bone would be a great choice! I tried to get the color right, but the red is deeper and darker than my picture shows, at least on my device.

I prefer wood but dark pink scales wouldn't be so bad.
Just for clarity, if you make pink by mixing red with white then you have essentially light red. Now take pink and remove the white from it and now you have dark pink.

HA !!!

If we did get Soup Bone, best keep it away from those Prize Dogs of yours

Why not just impose your will?

You know Ivory/White Bone makes real sense

 

[JTB_5]

Autumn Gold Bone would look good.

All steel?

 

[Will Power]

Hopefully All steel yes!

I finally figured out what soup bone is. It's bad bone with a silly name.

I will that we get a knife we can live with!! I will that we collectively choose the handles, since everything else has been chosen for us!!
I just thought of one more thing - i think we can choose the finish!!
(I K, I K, another can of worms!!)

Something to tide you over until I put more together...red sawcut.

Charlie, will we get to decide between nickel-silver or steel for the bolsters/liners material? I am in the all-steel camp and will certainly be happy with most wood and bone options being proposed.

Very nice, Darren! Everyone knows I am a huge sucker for Red Sawcut so this is very much a "take-my-money-now" sort of scenario.

 

[waverave]

Smooth white bone...

 

[Danke42]

How about authentic Mood Ring acrylic? They'll change colour and make everyone happy.

 

[RobbW]

Honestly any of the natural woods or bones would be fantastic—smooth or sawcut. The black/white ebony, burls and koa all look exceptional!

waynorth : In the early days I was never able to score any of the copperhead bone. Is that a possibility here, or was that all a product of Culpepper?

 

[Camillus]

Make a splotchy pinkish mock up just so we know what we might get
