which do you prefer red head or blonde

Two liner lock folders, same basic pattern. 6 1/2" open3 1/2" closed. Both with Mr Matt Walker's incredible damascus, both blades and bolsters. Scales are mammoth tooth, scale screws are gold plated.
Which one do you prefer and why?
Thanks
Steve

The one you send me will surely be my favorite!

For the poll I chose the red tooth. As far a the color of the scales goes, I like them both equally well but prefer the red overall. To me the yellow handle knife with the additional damascus on the handle makes the overall appearance to ?busy?, slightly distracting the eye from the natural beauty of the Mammoth tooth.

Both knives are beautiful works of art! I always enjoy seeing your work Steve.

The red one does it for me. Maybe it's because of the direction of the stripes........

I'm leaning towards the blonde, although both have features that I enjoy.

Both are beauties , Steve , but I prefer redheads . Although the back bolster should give a lot of protection to the tooth ,my preference for appearance is to go bare .

I like the Gold...not only the color, but because it "flows" better with the knife profile and the steel. To me the red color isn't bad, but because it flows 90 degrees to the knife profile, it looks like an "after thought" rather than an integral part of the overall knife.
