Ima wearing Gilligan sailor hat

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

It's bone. Your knife being a 1975 knife, if it was delrin it should have a "composition" shield (no inner oval). Case started putting shields with no inner oval on delrin handled knifes in 1974. Your knife has the normal shield, with an inner oval around "Case". So barring a factory error, it's bone.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
