I want to see everyones favorite bone handle knife, can be fixed or folding but must be a traditional pattern (hence the section its posted)...I know some of you guys have amazing older pieces that have really come into their own over time but with our varied taste I want to see some pictures of your number 1 bone handle.

To get it rolling I have to go with my Queen, I have several other bone handles but this one in the light just looks like a flaming torch!

I have posted this knife numerous times, but it ranks right at the top of my list. The pile side scale matches very nicely...

Tough choice, but I think this one. The patina on the brass pins set it off nicely.
 
My favOrite bone handle color is the dark chestnut
Case produced in the late 90s & 2000.
Even though it doesn't have same 'richness' of the
much older bone.

In consideration of the Keep it to 1 image per post theme
I'll have to go w/the Marble's MSA Co. Italian jig as my single
most favOrite bone handle.

I know that there is nicer jigged bone out there, but this is the most beautiful that I have experience with.

My favorite has to be the chestnut bone on my Case SBJ:

Just one is really a tough choice, but I had to go with the GEC Tidioute Burnt Grizzly Cut Bone on this #23 Pioneer.
I also have a Big Jack and a Mink in this bone. I think it looks better than most of the stag I've seen (except GECs).

I have to second what woseyjales said, and all beautiful eye candy fellows especially 338375's old Case Stockman!

This picture does not do this bone justice by any stretch. It has depth and translucence that is truly amazing.

Man this is a tough one. I just looked over all my knives and I have a lot of favorites.:D

I guess I will go with this Colt Railsplitter. The bone on this one rivals many of my more expensive knives.

Ken Coats sure does a great job on his bone.

This is an old Remmington Dr's knife from 20's or 30's (Supposedly. I do not know enough to be certain.)
