Celluloid Handles

[Lexus5544]

Thanks to everyone on here for the help with my newly found knife collection. I have one more favor to ask.

I've seperated everything out and I believe I have the evil celluloid handled knives identified so they can be stored elsewhere. Would you mind to take a look and see if you see any that jump out and say, to you, I'm celluloid?

Ok, two favors - I'm not sure what the last two pictures are made of. If you can help with that, I would much appreciate.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Lex,
I think you can put the "Maybe Wood" group in with the Wood group.
I think they are all Pakkawood.
It's hard to tell about the last group, I'm guessing composition.
I'm pretty sure the Buck Creek congress is composition.
The Boker Scout should either be delrin or bone.

The buck creeks are the worst I've ever been associated with,especially the cracked ice.I've never had one,but certain Fighting Roosters gassed hard.

Lexus what brand are the three white handled knives in the last photo ?

That might help resolve what the handles are............or it may not.

Hay, I see the Imperial 810 I've been looking for!
It's in the pic titled "plastic"; 3rd from right - top row.
I didn't even know what it looked like til now!

Could you tell me is it stamped Ireland or U.S.A.?

Oh yea, Very nice collection!

THANK YOU for solving my mystery!

From top to bottom:

One side of blade says bear hunter - other side says solingen stainless 440 - only one blade

Absolutely nothing on this one except stainless - 4 blades

Last one marked just like the first - 3 blades

Don't think it's imperial. I think this is one of the off brand knives. It's marked sabre 614.

I do think I have an imperial just like it, or very close, once I get to it; I will post a pic and let you know.

I'm going to go out on a limb a little bit here and say I don't think the two marked Solingen Stainless 440 are very lilkely to have celluloid handles. The trend of identifying the blade steel is a fairly recent one. Very few modern brands still use celluloid (Fight'n Rooster and Bulldog and some older Buck Creeks do come to mind) so I would hazard to guess that the handles on those two knives are some sort of white delrin or composite material rather than celluloid. Please bear in mind this is at best a semi-educated guess on my part.
I would not bet the farm on the one that has no markings other than "Stainless" but I'm guessing it's newer too and thus unlikely to be celluloid as well.
