I ‘Con-Kirk’, lol

Very nice, bronze4u! Sure looks like real tortoise shell to me.

[bronze4u]

Nice knife Kirk ... I agree with Dan - sure looks like real tortoise shell to me and Humphrey's did make some nice knives - I believe the gouges are unfortunately where carpet beetles were doing some feeding at one time - often seen on horn handles but definitely can happen to tortoise shell too - so my money is on tortoise shell (celluloid doesn't taste good to carpet beetles )...

And another Granton Midget - Ring Turn Fruit Knife
This one might be a bit more blade tired than my other three Granton's. But I will take it!
It's is in the mail on its way.

Very interesting find! Never seen a blade like that one. Cool!

[bronze4u]

Thank you!

Found this info:

Why People Use a Granton Edge Knife
A Granton edge enhances a knife's cutting and slicing performance by creating tiny air pockets between the food and the blade. This creates better food "release" and prevents food from shredding and tearing to keep the food as intact as possible. A Granton blade is particularly helpful when cutting to moist or clingy food, such as salmon, cheese, cucumbers, and many types of meat

New ‘ivory’ one is here! Making my Granton collection four now.
It has a gouge on one side... And the blade is a bit more narrow ( used ) All in all super rare, and especially in this color!

[doglegg]

B4U, glad it arrived. Sweet old knife. Someone loved it. Ivory makes it more special. Congrats.

[bronze4u]

Thanks doglegg! Now I’ll love it.... It’s most likely not real ivory.
But it would be nice!

[doglegg]

Well maybe french ivory.

[bronze4u]

Right, I bet it is French ivory... It has the straight little lines in it.

Well maybe french ivory.
