Old knives with tipped bolsters
Digging around tonight I couldn't find a thread for these. I like the look of the tipped bolsters.

I like the top knife. Celluloid handles?
Re: Old knives with tipped bolsters
Thanks Keith.
Yes, celluloid scales. I've forgotten who made it. I'll dig it out for more info. Imperial I think.

Re: Old knives with tipped bolsters
When I first started doing knife work, I bought a bunch of the tip bolster advertiser knives for 50 cents or a dollar each to practice taking apart and rehandling.
