I don't know Lyle but look at them worn away rat tail bolsters!

And that jiggin is amazing how they did the crisscross pattern in the bone.

Here is a very nice Case Tested 6265 SAB in Winter Bottom bone. all original and very hard to find. I no longer own it but it went to a very good home.

That peachseed jiggin reminds me of my HSB.

Big Knives with Big Bone handles.

The first Case Tested is a rare version 65 pattern with a very thin frame.

The New York Knife 186 pattern is another very hard to find knife.

It is interesting that the big Case tested 6172 clasp knife is actually stamped on the reverse tang "TESTED" and below that "6272". 6272 being incorrect as the first 2 in the number would designate it as being a 2 bladed knife. The stamping is a factory error. The knife is 100% correct.

Very nice peach seed Joe!

I used to say pickbone,an early form of getting handle grip on bone,but I am now not sure what the term pickbone signifies.

It does indicate an early knife,whatever it is.

Joe, some great old bone on that one, also I love the cap bolster on those ticklers. Very nice.

Here's an old Schrade Cutlery Co. with some pretty nice jigging.

singin46 · Post by **singin46** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 3:41 am

That is some beautiful jigging, Joe! Nobody has ever been able to duplicate the way Schrade jigged these handles back then.

FRJ · Post by **FRJ** » Thu Feb 27, 2014 4:02 am

Thanks Perry.
It really is amazing work. I've never fully understood the process of jigging years ago.
I remember seeing some contraption that was used, but I was confused by it.
