Very classy. That's what we'd call a dressin' up knife around here. Very different from other GECs. I like it a lot.
The fifth handle will be polished Stag. It should come out off-white to cream, with the occasional streak of character.
Since the regulations on Ivory have gotten tougher, I am hoping for a handle that has a nicely mellowing appearance. It should work well!
(Got my fingers crossed!) It also uses Stag that would otherwise be un-interesting, honoring the deer, and using rather than trashing the resource!
The handles have been decided.
The 2 bone will be Autumn Gold and Blood Red.
The 2 wood will be Cocbola and, Blackwood or Ebony.

Now I'll selfishly say "to bad it isn't a single bladed knife!".

Perhaps it will look a little like my Dixie that I purposely bought thick so I could shape and smooth to my liking. Obviously without any of the figure left though.
