And....I may change back to jigged bone. Because I have been in the "bone camp" since the get go...idk. Maybe I should think it through.
 
I do find it curious that there are folks who prefer no shield. Goes to show how different and varied tastes can be.

I happen to like a bare head, swell end jack with an attractive shield. The S & M below is not a perfect knife but what attracts me the most to it is its shield.

All of those are fairly regularly used by GEC. According to a prior post related to this those covers are options fyi.

That's an attractive shield, but my preference is for none. Don't think I'll be in the majority.
 
This vote is close! How exciting!

I'm starting to think acrylic (butter and molasses?) might not have a real chance...
 
I have such a strong dislike for Osage Orange as a slab material that I will likely swing toward jigged bone, even tho I think, ultimately, that an African Blackwood or ebony would look nice.
