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

[BDubbs]

Reading through the posts and there are a lot of great suggestions. I enjoy providing input but I’m sure I’d be just as happy if not happier with whatever Charlie and Bill came up with on their own.

I was wavering between smooth ivory and a deep red jigged but finally decided on the smooth ivory bone.

I would take any option! The more I think the smooth bone with beveled edges...the more I wish I voted for it...

I have a change 'vote box' in the lower right corner of the voting ballot...I think you can.

I actually like natural bone, but that wasn't an option.
I'm sure no matter what, it will look great.

Does anyone have a pic of what a smoothie beveled bone handle would look like?

I think we could see another two hundred voters yet based on the last poll. It’s close right now.

many option will look awesome!

I posted this a few pages back to put out some feelers for parchment bone that was used on the original run of ancient TC's. Reposting here - I believe this is an example of smooth bone with beveled edges.

Rounded edges on Smooth Autumn Gold bone

The Washington Jacks are also smooth bone, beveled edge. Reminds me a bit like a sawcut surface, but the saw marks are grinded down smooth.

Smooth Ivory bone with a bevel...

Thanks cbr1000. If that’s what beveled looks like then I would be pleased.

I voted Sawcut, and prefer darker colors.

 

[cbr1000]

I voted Smooth with a bevel, but if we go sawcut... the TC14 with the Black Plum Cherry sawcut with wane would be super cool. The Wane (I think that's what Charlie decided to call it?) is kinda like an unfinished sawcut. You can see on this 14 that the sawcut is not even. Okay, I'm sorry for mucking up this thread. Going back to watching this play out....

Cranberry. If we're going sawcut, it's gotta be a deep red for me.

 

[Bigfattyt]

I voted Sawcut. Dark Red, or Brown.

Thanks for the pics, Jack!!

 

[euroken]

You guys are terrible...I just might have to change my vote!!!!

That's a nice Black Cherry, cbr1000!
"Wane" means the thickness of the material tapers off, or is below spec!! Yours is a perfect example!! Like old Barlows, the "discards" were used for that "cheapest" of knives!!

 

[knife_fan]

I like the idea for smooth ivory to pair with the previous #86 forum knife.

Stomach bile yellow doesn’t belong on a knife.

Really? I say we go for "bile yellow" and give it a sassy blade etch, like... "The Ol' Call-edge Tri".

I'm 90% certain that Charlie wasn't alive during the production of "old" barlows, but you'd never know it to hear him talk.
