I keep seeing those blue alox SAKs and really need to get me one.
That dark blue bone A. Wright is a beauty Jolipapa

Thank you for your appreciation.

Closed she's 9 cm, blade length 7,1cm. I think this is the medium size.

Thank you. It is a handsome knife.

I was hoping to produce more blue on this one than I actually achieved (it's a blue dye job on jigged amber bone), but I still like the results. Bright sunlight really brings out the blue highlights.

Great dye job! Very similar to the current production Burnt Indigo bone.

Came across this thread in a roundabout way from Google search but so glad I did. Blue is my favorite color and I love the way it can look on a knife when done well. I guess when I do the math I have more blue knives than anything at this particular moment.
So looks like I have 19 pages of blue knives to comb through and I haven't even made it through all the acrylics thread yet! So many beautiful knives to look at around here

Case really excels at the blue part of the spectrum. Why can't GEC give us some blue knives once in a while?

Thank you! I hadn't thought about that. I've seen pictures of the burnt indigo bone and I do like the look.

My knives seen at the Brannaman Pro Am:

Box Elder and damascus:

Blue Jigged Bone:

Love it when my knives have seen some life.

Late to the party on this one but that blue jigged bone is the perfect shade of blue. Lightens up right before the bolster.

Yep one of my fascinations with working with bone. Sometimes it does that and sometimes it doesn't. I've even had blue bone go purple on me when working it. Ya just never know. Keeps it interesting for me. Got two sets of blue bone scales on the bench right now. One jigged and the other smooth.

Blue is my favorite color and my knife accumulation is sorely lacking in the hue.

I've got one of the Copperlocks in the Burnt Indigo, too. Mediocre blade centering but, oh well, can't resist the blue.

Glad this thread was revived... hadn't seen it before. This is my favorite "blue" knife, its an old Johnston USA and the cell / plastic looks like a blue sky with wispy clouds I used the blue filter on my camera to make it stand out against b/w background.

Mostly blueish

Beautiful knife Drew. I assume that is mammoth? Mammoth tooth?

 

[Horsewright]

Wow Drew just WOW! Long for the days when I could work with mammoth ivory too. Have to settle for pinecone these days:

And just like Drew's scales they just get cooler in the sunlight:
