Here's one that looks odd to me. Handles are described as greenbone but almost look like a synthetic. Comments appreciated.

I agree the handles do look a bit strange. Maybe just a product of too much buffing. Mr. B's do look much better.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Case tested 6240 Dog leg trapper
Knife looks okay to me. Some observations: Some sellers take liberties like "green bone" and "red bone" in descriptions. Some probably wouldn't know one from the other, but it sounds good and they're hoping it makes their offering more attractive to potential buyers. Doesn't necessarily make the knife bad, just an inaccurate description by the seller. Caveat emptor!
However, it's also been my experience that it's difficult to capture the subtle shades of bone colors accurately in a photograph. Exposure, lighting and other factors come into play. I have some green bone that looks great in hand but for whatever reasons, probably my poor photography skills and equipment, don't look like it in a picture.
