Here is another western states.I think it may be the first knife that I have showing signs of gassing.the scales seem to be showing more black color every few weeks .the liners and springs are black in color .I have been keeping it with a couple broken junk knifes for farther study on the destructive gassing effects of knifes stored together .so far no effects on the two knifes it is stored with .image.jpgimage.jpg
Your cokebottle you posted above is definitely gassing.
Thank you for your keen eyes ! I now see the the discolored spot on the bolster I think you are referring to ..I will add it into the junk drawer
If the blade is good, don't junk it. Immediately remove the celluloid. Then have it rehandled.
If your just going to junk it, send it to me

I would love to rehandle those celluloid knives, as long as you aren't in a hurry for them.

Here's one with "Tortoise" handle that I think is celluloid. I'm looking to sell it if any of you "Celluloid Heroes" are interested.

I'd hardly call that a train wreck. On the contrary, it is very good-looking!
