When the relaunch of CSC was announced, one of my first thoughts was, "I hope they release a boys' knife in blue rope bone." It's such a striking and unique jigging pattern, and historically speaking, I like the continuity it brings to the Schrade/CSC timeline. Basicaly, I've been jonesing for a blue rope bone boys' knife ever since the release of the original Eric's Jack. So I'm really happy I was able to add this one to my collection. And I'm really happy that it has the Red Trout shield -- IMO a silver colored shield works better against the dark blue than the standard brass CSC shield.
Anyway, at the same time I ordered the blue rope bone knife, I also got the one in green G10. And I thought that was going to be it for me as far as the Red Trout SFOs. But the next day (like JustinR in the post above) I went back to look again and saw that Mr. Red Trout had posted the paua abalone knife for sale. If blue rope bone was #1 on the list of handle materials I wanted to see on a CSC boys' knife, abalone was #2. So I had to pick that one up as well.
Anyway, the abalone knife arrived today, so I shot a hasty pic of all three together. Very pleased with these.
