Your opinion

[Keith Montgomery]

I am purchasing a Huckleberry Bowie from Harvey Dean. It is going to have a walrus ivory handle. He just emailed me a couple of photos of the ivory he has to choose from. Which scales would you go with?

 

[MORIMOTOM]

right/bottom ones.

i like the subdued colors and uniformity.

 

[Lorien]

I'm liking the caramel.

 

[Joss]

Left / top. I also have one on order from him...

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I'm personally leaning toward the white scales with all the colour, but I really like the lines in the salmon coloured ones.

It is one of my favorite small bowie designs.

 

[Jon Brand]

I'd go with the caramel with the lines.

Those would be my choice!

I love the left/top ones!!!

Both pairs are cool but I would go for the caramel ones. This because both scales are more "uniform" and because of that for me the handle would look more balanced.

left / top one I like something not uniform ... (too uniform = boring).

 

[Jon Brand]

I chose the caramel because ivory like that always seems to have great depth and almost a translucent look. I feel that the white scales are alot more 2 dimenstional.

Keith,
Do you anticipate having the knife engraved?

That would (could) be a determining factor for me.

What kind of steel?

 

[mmmotorcycle]

The left top looks quite nice to me. Very nice!

 

[Kevin Jones]

I like to start with a little deeper color as you are most likely to lose some of that pigment after he works/molds the ivory to the handle.

 

[RogerP]

right / bottom is my clear favourite.

I'm not going to be getting it engraved.
