Nice lineup, interesting study in contrasts.

Been some nice posts here, I was a little behind.

Don’t know how I’ve missed this thread - some outstanding examples shown. I’ve always been partial to bone, and especially old worm groove bone. Some of the best of that was used by Cattaraugus and Robeson. It has occurred to me that those cutleries which rarely or never used genuine stag often went to greater lengths to use bone jigged to more closely resemble stag. ::hmm:: JMO

Outstanding bone on those knives Ken. It is a lost art.

Thanks Ike and Floyd.

Nice Catts everyone! You just don’t find better bone than the old Catts have. It’s a shame no one produces bone like it today.

I agree, Ken. It seems like they can't get the dye correct to match these old ones. ::hmm:: Maybe that's a good thing?
