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

[Jack Black]

Thanks for the pics, Jack!!

A pleasure Charlie, plenty more of that fine well-made Barlow

 

[Jack Black]

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.

Charlie has a time-machine!

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

You don't know how old I am!! (do you?)

I thought I'd better contribute a picture! Redundant to Jack Black's nice pics, but here they are!!
Smooth Ivory bone, beveled!!

This might be a tight poll. I'm on the edge of my seat.

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

Changed!

Me too!!
And it's way more fun than a romp, like the first one!!

If the smooth bone was a brownish appaloosa I'd change my vote. The problem with appaloosa is every one is different which guarantees some folks will get one they don't like. Its like stag in that regard. I'd be willing to roll the dice, but others not so much maybe.

I'd change my vote to jigged if we knew it was going to be some of GEC's Winterbottom-ish jigging. I've been wanting one in that orange -ish, Winterbottom-ish for a while now

I'm sticking with sawcut

For now

Smooth/beveled ivory for me!
Thank You Charlie!

Does anyone have an example of how this would look? Sounds great!

Calling all waveraves... come in @waverave

Smooth and beveled -a big dress knife doesn’t need primitive sawcut covers, as neat as they are on the appropriate knife.

But of course I’ll be happy with it no matter what

 

[BIGDORK]

Smooth Ivory white, no for Appaloosa unless its dyed

I would love it to be peach-seed jigged, but that is a green party vote

ETA: If its Sawcut, my vote is for copperhead, yellow, then green

 

[Will Power]

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

After some research, this. This is my vote.

 

[LastRodeo]

Copperhead

 

[beezwax]

Smooth white, or ivory!

Beyond the covers, what draws my attention is lack of brass
Keep the white metal trimmin's....

 

[Fixall]

Smooth white/ivory bone for me!

Great to see those Charlie, I had forgotten about the 2-blade

 

[Jake Dudley]

My vote wen't to sawcut and I'd like to see it in saddle brown or some version of brown and yellow. I wouldn't be disappointed with smooth bone either!!
