What Slabs for a Spear Medium Barlow?

[Biggie_Robs]

GEC's Autumn Gold is a sweet color and I've liked every knife they've put bone in that color on, but if you're looking for alternatives Lignum Vitae wood is my favorite handle material. Well, badass stag is impossible to beat, but other than that Lignum Vitae is my fave.

Still waiting for a single clip in micarta, myself.

Interesting

I'm really liking undyed bone ( ivory bone) , old green (like case green bone) and Rust red is a favorite also

 

[arizonaranchman]

the Old Red Sawcut bone on your last 77's was awesome. Had I known it was that great a color I'd have grabbed one in a heartbeat.

Please give us more! :thumbup:

Can't wait for your blackwood or anything else with those highly radiused edges (be it wood or smooth bone). My blackwood 77's just feel so great in my hand.

Another vote for the smooth Ivory bone but honestly love the idea of a sawn Ivory even better!

 

[jkulysses]

Smooth ivory or Sawcut ivory appeal to me but I think it's time for a smooth yellow bone 77 barlow or better yet rotten banana bone!

 

[Lemmy Caution]

Sounds like sawcut ivory bone might win as a write in! I liked the old red but to be honest I kind of wish it was more red and less black so more character should show through.

I like what GEC did with the Burnt Sienna Jigged Bone. Or maybe Ironwood!!! Macasser Ebony!!!!

I need one in Stag , but the Smooth Autumn Gold is great too.

Yellow corn cob bone

Lots of options would look nice, but I would like to see some nice cocobolo

I think the best covers on any of the TC barlows was the Antique Amber sawcut bone done with potassium permanganate, giving it that slight greenish tint. Those covers on a spear master with coping secondary, both nicks mark side, would be a dream knife for me, especially in 440C.

There is just something classy about smooth Ivory bone IMHO

 

[RevDevil]

Blackwood looks very classy on just about any pocketknife. It adds a strong base of elegance and reminds me of a dark moonless night where you cannot hear anything but critters in the background.

 

[nugun55]

Smooth ivory bone, smooth Autumn bone, African Blackwood & stag. All sound good to me.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Some of that picked bone..... maybe Red.

 

[bleh]

I like what GEC did with the Burnt Sienna Jigged Bone. Or maybe Ironwood!!! Macasser Ebony!!!!

Ironwood burl would be AMAZING. I'm so in for one of these. The 77 is by far and away my favorite GEC pattern.

Just please PLEASE make them long pull w/ swedge!

Whatever you can do to sink the blade well into the frame would be appreciated too. Thanks
