Re: Old knives with tipped bolsters
Thank you Kerry! Its slim in the pocket. And I like the fact that it meant something to someone at one time. Meant enough for them to scratch their initials on it in several places.toomanyknives wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 2:35 amWow, that is a unique one, Kev!

Re: Old knives with tipped bolsters
Here's one I finally photographed. It's a Syracuse Knife Co. (Camillus made) from the 1930's. Very nice little knife..
Great walk and talk on both blades, and sharp as a razor..

Oops. Made a mistake. The Syracuse Knife Co. was a Camillus made knife, not Utica. I was thinking about Seneca, which was Utica..

Nice looking knife. Are you saying it is a non-gassing celluloid because
it has not gassed off yet or did Imperial use a special formula?
Just curious

Re: Old knives with tipped bolsters
Hey Bob. I'm saying it mainly because it hasn't off-gassed. I don't think Imperial did anything special, because I have a couple of old ones that have deteriorated..rea1eye wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2026 4:22 pmtoomanyknives wrote: ↑Wed Apr 15, 2026 3:25 pm And back to our regularly scheduled program..
