Post by thegreedygulo »

I've always liked this style of celluloid handles.

I've always loved cell as well. Such a shame it self destructs so often.

Thanks guys.

Greedy, that's a celluloid pattern that Robeson used quite often back in the day. I don't own very many knives with it, but I've seen it on several different small framed knives over the years, like pen knives, reverse jacks, peanuts, etc.

This is actually the only one I have. It's a 928544 3" pen knife with the patented wrap-around over-lapping liners that secure the handles to the frame. If this knife had bolsters, there would be no pins securing the scales.

Tilt the knife slightly and that handle will turn green.
