One thing to think about is if we all go for a raffle and in the end, the total raffle amount doesn't cover the total cost, the winner could pick up the difference, which would still be way less than the total cost.

OK, I'm in.

Even though the pink ivory looks to be the favorite, that Cattleman on the other thread has some pretty ironwood, which makes me think Capt. Chris's cocobolo is real nice.

I will vote for cocobolo, but would be happy with either.

I'm in Capt.
I'm intrigued by the Pink Ivory

I kinda like Pap’s idea. More work for you Capt., but (I think) it makes the raffle more fun, given the chance to get a nice knife at a reduced price

OK Crew:
With 13 votes in, thus far, we have a 12-1 decided vote for PINK IVORY! That's what we will go with. I appreciate the support for this build and hope we can swell the numbers during the build. Remember: Ya' can't have at it unless you participate!
On to the next order of business. This piece measures just a tad over 1" in diameter x 4 1/2" in length. This will meet the requirements for almost all RMKs with a blade material of 3/16". There should be a couple of exclusions that I have found, over quite a bit of time building these things, that should not be considered. They are:
* Model #11's
* Model #22-4 5/8"
* #6-9", Large Filet
These models sport a more robust blade shape and depth and I believe this wonderful piece of pink ivory would yield a handle too smallish to be compatable with them.
So...As is usually the case, let's talk it out, express our preferences and decide what we're going to undertake!
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris

#6-9

Pap

I'll play #6-9 in pink ivory will make a good user, blood won't bother the handle at all.

Gents:
Model #6-9" should "NOT" be considered. Did I word my post wrong?
Best, Capt. Chris

Lots of choices. Here are two:

#5 - Small Camp
#27 - Mini with NS hardware

I am almost positive #27 mimi's are built exclusively 2 ways... Stag or copper with green micarta. I could be wrong
