Attention Well, what form should our BF Forum knife's bone handles take for 2021??

[Quiet]

I'm in for Sawcut, as I don't have anything in that and I figure might as well shoot for something new. Bone wasn't my preference, so it is what it is!

Another vote for smooth, beveled. Yes, white bone or ivory. Even appaloosa.
If saw cut, I wonder how a saw cut oily creek bone would turn out? Definitely different.

With a large bolster knife, an expanse of Smooth Bone makes for a sleek. appearance Even more so when the bolster is intricate and the slabs bevelled.

If I could change my vote I would, by adding 50 more for Smooth Ballot stuffing has a lot of precedents..and remember, it's Charlie who COUNTS the votes

Lucky for us, this poll is completely democratic, and hasn't been hacked or stuffed
(that I know of!)!! But there is still time to change a few minds!! "Na Zdorovie"!!!

You can change your vote. There is a change vote button to the right just under the results.

since red soup bone might be a stretch, I like the antique yellow sawcut similar to the TC Barlow and the sawcut beer scout.

I stole this photo from Rose and Thistle Custom, sorry about that, but here is an excellent photo of a nice purple dyed bone from GEC. Much better than a plain Jane brown handle.

Whooo! It's a tight race lol

 

[JonMcD]

I’m down with the smooth ivory

 

[Tetsujin 140.6]

Smooth, beveled camel bone, rose/red colored.

 

[Jsega51]

I might have to change to smooth bone, then again, I think sawcut white/ivory bone would look cool as well.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

If this thing turns out with smooth bone covers I will use my trusty Dremel and saw cut them myself.

I will also sulk, eat a lot of cheap ice cream (the kind that comes in the square cardboard box), and otherwise debase myself in a woeful well of deep depression.

After my dissociative fugue, I will also likely be offering this saw cut Dremel treatment for 2021 forum knives to all members in good standing for a very fair price, but sadly no warranty or guarantee

Light blue is rare , an opportunity to have a rare knife...

You're welcome to steal any pics you want. That smooth purple has been immensely popular.
But in this crowd I suspect more people would rather NOT purple than would be happy with it.
I'm hoping for white, but blue, green, orange, elderberry would all be great. I'd be disappointed with brown or antique yellow but plan to love this knife whatever it ends up being. If there's any flexibility on blade shape I'd be crazy over a spear.

I am OK with any colour as long as it's vibrant and not wahed out. If it's going to be sawcut then it should be something that looks good in that form.

Just going to leave this beautiful mockup made by waverave here to maybe try and swing the vote.

 

[AZCoyote]

So as you can tell my vote went for smooth Ivory bone.

 

[Ramrodmb]

I'm going with Bill's vision for this knife.

Now just imagine this image with a nice elderberry or maybe even a dark cherry color? Fantastic isn’t it?

 

[marcus52AR]

Rich dark blue saw cut would be a cool option.

 

[jku]

Tell you what, I might change my mind for a smooth blue camel bone.
