French pearl
Looking thru Sargents guide I've come across old Case knives handled in French pearl. Iwas wondering if this is real pearl or celluloid, and why "French"Slim

Re: French pearl
'French' is a substitute word for 'fake'.

Re: French pearl
That is a new one on me(see;you CAN learn something each day 
).I have heard the term,"French Ivory" that refers to a specific type of off white celluloid with parallel straight lines running through it.Commonly used on straight razors and some pocket knives.
