I've been wanting a rotten banana bone knife since 2012, when I began collecting. I've never seen one for sale in all of that time. I'm in for the #14 RBB in both 1 & 2 blades. Really glad to see this cover material come back....a very popular cover.

Same here , missed out on one on ebay sometime in 2013 .It has my first time bidding and I did something wrong . It was the catalyst for the yellow rose sfo in 2014 . I still keep and eye out for the rotten banana and have added others to the grail list .
Like some others, I was unenthusiastic about the #14 until I saw that Smooth Rotten Banana Bone was on the menu! That did it for me and I reserved one in single blade spear config. Really excited about this one! 😀
I tried to come up with a list of the 14's. Not sure if I got all of them..

cbr1000, to my knowledge that list looks complete from all the reading I've done throughout various threads. I also remember hearing of an Oily Creek Bone SFO but never directly from a dealer. There is one unpaid dealer that started an Oily Creek Bone knife series that began with a coyote but I could not say for sure if this was theirs or just someone's wishful thinking.
Dark red bone definitely appeals from GEC, Would like to see the copperhead bone. For a highly anticipated run of new TCs, though...meh? The best strategy may be to wait til the ebony kicks in...
Maybe I just need to see them in all their glory. I think there is absolutely a niche for 3" Barlows. And I will continue to float to Charlie the idea that a run of TC Ancient #14s (scratted) would be the perfect tribute to Barlows of old.

I think it is just essentially a variation of soup bone. Should have some grooves or valleys with uneven edge surfaces in conjunction with being saw cut. Think red soup bone anniversary knife with the saw cut addition.
I also took a look and was unable to find confirmation on the Oily Creek Bone, but I do think that would be the most logical explanation. Thanks for the info odd :thumbup:
