That’s what it looked like to me. Just had a hunch that there was some green dye touching that bone. Case seems especially susceptible to problems w/ light colored bone absorbing what’s around it. I will have to remember this when storing knives in a case after oiling it. I try to keep all my knives in display cases so I can see and enjoy them. Some of those cases have red felt, or green or black. I will be checking tomorrow all the light Case bone knives and double check that this same problem hasn’t happened to me too.WelderBob wrote:SSk, you may be on to something, the lining is green and I use mineral oil on bone. I let it dry but if the bone holds the oil it could have a reaction
with something in the fabric and would show up on light color bone. I think from now on I'll just use Ren wax on light colored handles.
Maybe I should oil the mark side and see if I can get a match...
It doesn’t look like it was a problem w/ the brass liners, it looks more like dye.
This has been an interesting discussion. I like the silverware bags, I think that would work well.
