Very nice group of Greenbones.
I don't see any 07s in your pile, though...and as it so happens, I have only 07s in my Greenbone pile.

Re: Greenbone thread!
Nice knives! There are several older greenbone threads with some beautiful old knives pictured in them. Here’s just one of them. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5900 I guess I’m a greenbone snob but if it’s not a Case Tested era (there were a few early Case XX also but not many), as far as I’m concerned it’s an imposter. JMO.
Carry on.

Re: Greenbone thread!
Never fully understood what makes "Greenbone" green. Sure includes a wide array of shades??

Re: Greenbone thread!
I believe it’s because for the most part case didn’t make any other color bone, so all bone was “green”Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 7:41 pm Never fully understood what makes "Greenbone" green. Sure includes a wide array of shades??J.O'.
Then comes the xx era where
Bone, red are visibly different, and the residual run off of tested era into the xx era was coined greenbone.
This is just my speculation.
