Thanks TMK!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 5:49 pmNice TOPDOG! Usually (not always) the oval around the Case logo in the shield indicates bone.
Yep, it can get confusing though. Here is a 1978 example that is Delrin. They also use the 6 as the first digit in the model for "synthetic bone". It's one without the oval around the logo. And thanks, I do like that 18 I posted.GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 11:50 pmThanks TMK!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2024 5:49 pmNice TOPDOG!

I recall reading that the #6 in pattern number was for bone (The first number indicates the type of material used to make the handle) .... but I think it also extended to Jigged Synthetic & Jigged Laminate. I guess a red hot needle/pin will reveal the truth....

It's a clean one for sure! I collect knives from 1978, TOPDOG. It's the year I graduated high school. I took a horse and buggy to my prom it was so long ago!GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 1:32 amThat 1978 is nice!toomanyknives wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 1:18 amYep, it can get confusing though.

Years ago, I was really excited that I had so many "bone" Case pocket knives ....
....
until I looked in a book and saw how that 'ol "6" could mean so many other things....

I don't think I can harness enough energy for my time machine to go back THAT far
that would take a huge amount of power to penetrate the quantum field....

That’s some really nice old bone ! I’m partial to both early Remington, and Western bone .nice showing .Here a western No.63 .GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 11:06 pm These are new pick-ups that need to be cleaned up and I was afraid would show heavy pitting on the blades,....
but the blades turned out OK,
and man oh man I like these HOKs
The Remington has great snap for an old knife and is going to make a sweet 'lill EDC

. Me thinks that both Remington and Western used bone from Rogers .A name most folks associate more in descriptions of older case knifes. “Rogers bone” .GSPTOPDOG wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:57 amThanks!Thomasg wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2024 12:43 amThat’s some really nice old bone !

Great bones on your western No.63
...
I have an old Reminton (from the 30's ish era
) that looks like your western No.63, same style of bones on the handle.
