It is uncommon (and pretty cool) jigging.

Yes, it is VERY cool.

Just going to leave this here for thought...

Never having owned an 86 what's the pull like on them?

Could influence the location of the nail-nick. If it's strongly sprung why not put it forwards for ease of opening. If it's lightly sprung then Longpull will be no problem nor central nail-nick.

I'd say the pull on my 86 is a strong 6 or weak 7 (slightly harder than my 93 fyi, now that someone made the comparison). I definitely gotta pull but it feels really good though. If I let it rip it opens/closes with a nice stout snap. The half stop bounce is amazing tbh.

Good thought, John, scratted wood would be something different and appropriate.

Is this pattern called “older (wise) guy sweater?” Lol.

 

[Jsega51]

Autumn Gold Bone would look good.

I hate that it looks yellow on a lot of the knives I get in this color. I always sell them.

Only if you're the type that thinks Checkered Gun Stocks are akin to Argyle Socks.

Love me some checkered gunstocks.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

So...”old (wise) guy checkered sweater gunstock?” or just “Antique Argyle sock bone?” JohnDF

Also, thanks for the funin’. Gave me a well needed chuckle this morning. Hope it does the same for others.

Beautiful knife you have there, and good suggestion.

I still prefer to think of them as checkered gun stocks...

If I can coordinate my knife with my socks, I'm sold. Total outfit. Ultimate drip.

 

[Easyrider]

I’ll even personally send glue and glitter to Easyrider if we get it.

Oh boy! Can I have sequins to? I am thinking we should bedazzle the forum knife!



I really am fond of the checkered black walnut covers!

Now just imagine coordinating your knife with your socks AND your sweater... Golden.

 

[TucsonMik]

The last few posts were EXACTLY what I needed this morning. Thanks, guys

 

[Easyrider]

Seriously, I love the idea of a nice wood cover, ironwood, bocote and black walnut all look fabulous. I wouldn't mind a nice maple either!

 

[takokato]

The red soup bone or saw cut look great; especially appealing as I don’t have a knife with either of those covers.
I’ve always liked the contrast on the antique amber saw cut TC Barlow.

 

[Chief]

Love this pony cut bone. Great colors and superb feel in hand.

Favorite sawcuts

 

[Kiro]

There are so many cool options. Great to see the mockups. Personally, I'd lean toward the red soup, but mostly because that has been unobtainable for me.

Oo!! Checkered black walnut...what say you JohnDF I like that idea too.

Now just imagine coordinating your knife with your socks AND your sweater... Golden.

Love it!!
