Old Knives With Jigged Bone Handles

Post by Miller Bro's »

I would like to see as many different examples of jigged bone that the old knife companies used on their knives.

Show some close up & clear photos of the knife & the jigging on the handles.

To get started here is an old Case Bros. with worm grooved jigged bone handles ::drool::

You gotta love the old jigged bone! ::woot::

Here's an old S&M Titusville with some nice jigged bone...

I do have just a few, but not as many as you may think. Pics will have to wait until tomorrow when the lighting is better ::tu:: That Case Bros. and the S&M have some wonderful bone and great jigging. I'd say it is probably pretty hard to duplicate that stuff today.
