Handsome knife Ivoryman.
Ripster, that display pretty well sums up how beautiful and diverse bone handles can be.

Re: Old Knives With Jigged Bone Handles
Pretty cool jigging on this old Miller Bro’s Rope Knife. Too bad my dad reshaped the blade on this one. It’s actually a more useful shape now, IMO, but probably kills the value.

Great knives Buckshot, even the Miller's Bro your dad modified. Love seeing handiwork that's out of the ordinary. That Challenge spear is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet too.

Re: Old Knives With Jigged Bone Handles
You can find an original replacement blade for it easy enough, the frame is in beautiful condition and it still has the original brass bail!

Re: Old Knives With Jigged Bone Handles
Keep your eye on eBay, they turn up with broken handles and bail but have a decent blade

Re: Old Knives With Jigged Bone Handles
Added some bone to the pile so here’s a couple more . The W. Bingham Co. Cleveland just landed here yesterday from Jim (thefarside) . Really tight snappy piece at 3 inches long . Stamped both blades with half stops and nice Bone .
Wilbert Cut Co. 1908 to 1920 or so. Very tight and half stops and in great condition.
Sperry & Alexander NEW YORK. 1893 to 1927 from what have read . Has had some use still solid piece .
The Trapper is a High Carbon USA. Rather like the color of the Bone on this piece .
