First off I'm new here and want to say hello. Seem like a good bunch and lots of knowledge here. Am I wrong to say that when you order a knife through the mail, sometimes it's a hit or miss with the color. How does this amber bone case peanut color look to you?

Post the picture to an Image hosting site like Photobucket and then link to the image in your post.

Regarding your original question - yeah, there can be significant variation in the appearance of bone handles between individual knives and from the manufacturer stock photos.

If you don't have a local dealer where you can inspect the actual knife in person, it can be a crap-shoot sometimes. I also recommend *never* buying a Case knife in a new bone pattern just going by the stock photos. Wait until you can see some pics of actual production knives. Sometimes they look nothing like the marketing shots, sometimes better, sometimes worse.

When viewing the image you want in your Flikr account right-click (Control-click on Mac) to "copy image URL."

(If that's not an option in the drop-down menu, keep clicking through on your image until it is.)

Then come here and either click the little tree picture icon thingy up there ^^ and paste the copied URL there, or copy it between IMG tags yourself like so:

Hope this helps.

When I click on your link I get a sign in to Yahoo page. When in the reply box, are you using the 3rd symbol from the right. It looks like a picture. You have to paste the direct code there.

Case seems to have issues with their bone colors. I had a case trapperlock that was suppose to be "smooth chestnut bone" and got "smooth pinkish bone"....
 
Bit hard to say...

But what I can tell you from owning CASE Amber Bone knives, is that it differs a lot and has many variations. A Large Stockman I'm lucky to own has deep peach kernel jigging from bolster to bolster mark side. The pile side much less so with flatter areas near the bolster. A Medium Stockman has much less deep jigging but is so highly polished it's beautiful and ages more so. However, a Mini Copperlock has really lack lustre stuff, weak jigging, colour bleed and nothing like as nice as the other two.

So, it's variable stuff from my experience, unlike say Chestnut Bone that seems pretty homogenous.
 
Here we go:

As willgoy said, it's hard to say, ie, tell from the (milky) picture.

From what I can see, the color looks good, there's just not as much of it as on many other examples.

Try taking a more in focus picture.

Paste the forum link here (the one that has
on either side of the link)

From what I can see there's very little color on that peanut. I prefer more color.
 
The color looks good & normal, to me (comparing to my 6375 CV stockman in amber jigged bone). Looks like there's not as much jigging though, as compared to others I've seen in the same handle material. Sort of closer to a 'smooth bone' look, but with just a little jigging. On a smaller knife, that can often look pretty good (to me).
