Ole Sawlty?So if the current second place material gets the name ol smoothie, then the winning (and obvious best choice) material should get one too. I lack creativity, so how about Ole Roughy?

Love the bolsters, prefer the longpull and white from the top one.
You make some outstanding and very valid points . I hope everyone reads what you have written . If the knife has Brass Liners and Pins , I certainly do not want White or Un-Dyed Bone .View attachment 1579392View attachment 1579395View attachment 1579397View attachment 1579396View attachment 1579394View attachment 1579393
We are essentially voting between a knife like the top two or one like the bottom four. If smooth prevails, there is little doubt the forum knife will be plain undyed bone.
Please just pick your preference folks; the one that will bring YOU the most pleasure to look at everyday. After all is said and done, it will be your knife to live with.
Both the TC and NF Barlows have fancy bolsters, and they look amazing with rich color infused Sawcut Bone! These are unobtainium; impossible to find and cost a fortune when you do. If you have any doubts, try to buy one. They are some of the most exquisite and rare knives made by GEC. We now have a unique opportunity to have one in a one of a kind new pattern delivered right to our door at an incredibly low price with no hassle. Some might be advocating for smooth plain undyed bone, because they already have one or more of these colorful SawcutBarlows squirreled away. If you don’t already have one of these vibrant Sawcut gems, this is your chance. If you never succeed in the usual lolly scramble when these beauties come out, or if you refuse to even try, this is your chance! This knife would sell out in nano seconds online.
Finally, it would be a shame to have to dye a brand new smooth bone knife costing good money just to prevent it from yellowing. The job would also require expertise and a buffing wheel to make it look right. GEC does not routinely use steel pins and liners on plain bone. I have had several with the usual copper. However, even if they did use steel, that would not stop the yellowing process, only verdigris.

I say Ol’ Scratchy would be appropriate. Maybe Ol’ Ugly?So if the current second place material gets the name ol smoothie, then the winning (and obvious best choice) material should get one too. I lack creativity, so how about Ole Roughy?
good for scratching that itch...I say Ol’ Scratchy would be appropriate. Maybe Ol’ Ugly?
