The unofficial, non binding, carries no weight, 2021 forum knife possibility discussion thread

I think checkering, while beautiful, would look too uniform and detract from the beauty and personality of a hand done, randomly jigged handle.....

 

[hornetguy]

Just going to leave this here for thought...

Skip-line checkering on a knife handle? Hmmmm...

GEC called it "Scratted Parchment Bone"

I share some things about this knife community with my wife, knowing she'll just think we're a bunch of... 'enthusiasts'... (my word, not hers).
There are other things I don't share because I'm convinced she would think I am legitimately crazy.

You know what option I think we could all get behind though? Smooth Black Camel Bone. Here's why:

• It's smooth, so it's the perfect worry stone during these troubling times
• Camel bone is handsome and lasts a long time, just like our fearless and intelligent 2021 BF knife leaders
• Black is a color of mourning and over the past year or so I'm sure I'm not alone in the fact that I've lost people.
• the dying will be random and unique, so everyone will get something slightly different.
• It will go well with our tuxedos
• It matches well with Steel, Brass or Nickle Silver
• It's the underdog choice, and who doesn't love a good underdog story?
• edit: also, 9/10 cats have agreed that they wouldn't bat it off the table.

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

I'm generally happy if my socks coordinate with each other.

BONE FOR THOUGHT

I think that we should gawk at the kind of fancy bolster we're talking about wearing some of the smooth ivory/white bone. It looks sooooo good:

Some more smooth white bone with fancy finish:

If we're talking Sawcut, GEC's Copperhead dye is consistently good. The Old Red they used to use was also stellar, but I haven't seen any red like this from GEC in years.

It's okay. Mistakes happen.

I like all of those, but the one that really popped* for me was the sawcut copperhead. That looks great and very traditional on a barlow.

Smooth Black Camel Bone. Here's why:

Don't forget, it's also the color of Batman and Darth Vader... Both are cool in my book.

Wow, good catch on me quoting the wrong post! Fixed!

Socks are suppose to coordinate with each other? When did this happen?

Thank you very much!

At one per week, they'll all be done in time for the tenth anniversary.
