What is your favorite slab for a barlow?

[knifeswapper]

Just wondering what your ONE handle slab preference would be on a barlow?

Whether seen before or not...

brown sawcut

 

[Peruna1998]

Smooth yellow bone.

 

[Markesharp]

Hands down, sawed bone. I would like to see a lighter shade of brown.

 

[Parke1]

Hands down, sawed bone. I would like to see a lighter shade of brown.

Ditto!

 

[philllll]

A nicely figured dark wood like rosewood or cocobolo

 

[Alnamvet68]

Pre-ban/legal elephant ivory

 

[jkulysses]

Smooth yellow but GEC's rotten banana yellow would be my grail.

 

[cards94]

African Blackwood.

 

[Old Hunter]

Sawcut bone, light brown is nice (sorta like this old Ulster), but medium brown is okay too. OH

 

[Jack Black]

I'm a sucker for ebony

 

[KBA]

+ 1 African Blackwood.

I would love to see one in an antique peachseed jig bone like on the old Schrade patterns. Though, I haven't seen it on a barlow.

Unicorn horn.

Saw cut bone browns and reds , ebony or blackwood, soup bone . I'll stop there

 

[esnyx]

Saw cut soup bone

I'm a really liking a good balanced Stag. Sawcut bone a close second.

Maybe someone else could come in with a picture of it, but the best looking to me was the antique amber sawcut bone on the early Charlow that looked sort of greenish. Sawcut ram's horn would look great, too.

I'm going to stray from the norm and go for seaglass acrylic!

I really like good stag, barehead stag knives are a favorite.

Second choice is jogged bone.

I see so many people loving the saw cut, and it does have that vintage feel, but I've never quite warmed to it. Would like to try one someday to see if that would change my mind.
