Re: Green Bone Knives
That's one purty knife Greg
Hey about a pic of that Camill-Case 72? That's has some purty bone on it too! And I haven't seen it a while, that was green bone wasn't it? It probably the only Camillus with Case bone handles on it.

Re: Green Bone Knives
Nice knives posted but the handles all look like they are brown to me.
Here is my "green bone" entry:a small Hubertus springer with real green handles. Only one I have seen like that.
Happy New Year to all!

Re: Green Bone Knives

i think the term ,green bone knife, was used . the same as green heart fishing rod.
as in none aged. bone, wood. used.to make the item. not dyed.as some of mine are.
please correct me if i am wrong.
