That's a tough one, have so many, wood, stag, smooth red bone, ivory, Mammoth ivory, old jigged bone, one of the reasons I collect knives is for the covers.

Agree on the covers. The bone on those Case Barlows is absolutely beautiful.

When I'm in a bad mood, I'm just going to come scroll through this thread. Stunning!!!
Here is mine - homemade Osage. Not perfectly executed but beautiful nonetheless.

I do love the jigging on this mid '70s German made Winchester.

Howling bark both sides ... great maker too.

A lot of knives with pretty covers have been posted in this thread. I've posted a few myself but have to include one with yellow delrin/composite covers. It's just a classic cover material and color. Not restricted to Case (shown here) but inclusive of many manufactures/cutlers that produce such covered knives.

Some pretties.

My taste keeps changing.

This Thistle Top has my first love, dense dark ebony.


Always loved jigged bone. Charlie's Lambfoot and this Brimstone are nice examples. (So many other makers have amazing examples (such as Case) too many to show))


Also love imitation (casein) and natural tusk.



LOL, forgot to add a favorite cover, Stag! (Especially when it's well matched)

I got a couple coming this week that I think will be my prettiest so hopefully I can get a picture in this thread.

So many beautiful knives.

Lots of nice covers on these pages. There's nothing fancy about these two, but they just appeal to me.

A set of pretty covers.

A knife with "regularly textured" covers tends to appeal to me both visually and tactilely. One common example of this is Victorinox Alox knives, such as this pruner:



I often consider (non-silver) colored Alox even prettier when it has some pocket-wear:

Augie, that was a great run of knives, and the mahogany winterbottom bone is about as good as it gets!
