Case Wide Belly Jack Knife Ivory?

Post by Pen & Toothpick »

I thought this one was unussual.
Is it real Ivory?

the patter I220 was for imitation ivory. the seller does not know if it's real or not. obvious rehandle.

In the one picture the center pin looks like it is holding on for dear life!

Jonet you brought up an interesting question.....was it rehandled to real Ivory?...from Imitation Ivory...could be. I was thinking like Muskrat Man, that it looked like a custom job.

(The seller did state that he was unsure if the Ivory was real.)

Poor choice of material, thick enough to be on an 8 inch skinner. IMO, only worth $35, but materials and time is $100+ to repair with real ivory if that is not, and that is cheap.
