Thank you very much for this information. You confirmed my suspicions that Blue Grass knew about the dangers of celluloid. Now I understand why they offer only 1 year warranty.Rookie wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 3:33 am Regarding the Winchester's from the 80's and 90's, it was known that the material was likely to outgas overtime. My grandfather worked at the Queen factory at that time, and they warned the customer that the material was known to become unstable. But they were told to replicate the look of older knife handles, and if celluloid was the only way to get that look (gold flake, candy stripe, etc.) then use it anyways. The knives would last at least 20 years before signs of problems, so what's the big deal.
The customer's always right, if they are paying the bills.
This is an extremely rude post. How will AAPK grow if new members are intimidated in into not asking questions?New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:45 am
PLEASE!!!, enough with the celluloid posts! We ALL know that in SOME cases, CELLULOID has been and is still a stable material. We also know that in MANY, MANY cases, CELLULOID has been and is a VERY UNSTABLE, DESTRUCTIVE material and causes damage to the subject piece of cutlery and the surrounding cutlery. If you REALLY want to learn about the world of CELLULOID, OUTGASSING, CELLULOID OUTGASSING, etc., enter CELLULOID in the AAPK site search box. READ TO YOUR HEARTS' CONTENT.
Very well said & I agree.edge213 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 4:28 amNew_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:45 am

Not all are "experts" like some. I personally have gone back to look at some of my posts when I was a new guy.
I think what dumb questions I asked. I'm glad the members here treated me with respect. If you want to treat members this way go to BF where they treat new people in this manner.
By using this line of reasoning we can't have new post about cleaning, tang stamps, or any subject that's been discussed.
Hang in there .New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:03 pm This is a true, heartfelt apology to EVERYONE involved in this topic or thread. Yesterday, I received some VERY disturbing news regarding a couple of my relatives. What the news was is personal. But, the way I handled the news was WRONG. I hit the bottle and I hit it hard. Again, I do apologize for my rude and uncalled for tirade.
Sorry.
Difficult times. My wife is going through it with her father, he is 84 and its about that time. Not, that this is your situation, but straining family times are never fun. I seriously wasn't intending to highjack the thread, totally forgot what area we were in, just went rabbit hunting.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:03 pm This is a true, heartfelt apology to EVERYONE involved in this topic or thread.

Takes a big man to admit being wrong and apologize. I don’t need to know what’s going on, but will be praying for you and your family.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:03 pm This is a true, heartfelt apology to EVERYONE involved in this topic or thread.

That pocket knife looks more like a COLONIAL than a CAMILLUS.
That's what I stated in my post, probably Colonial because of the shell handle attachment method.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 3:10 pmThat pocket knife looks more like a COLONIAL than a CAMILLUS.
Yes, I saw that. But, I thought that since it's posted in the "Camillus Cutlery
I don't think Camillus ever made a shell handled knife did they? Sorry, the posting police have me busted. I was just seeing the term "Damn Celluloid".New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 5:51 pmYes, I saw that. But, I thought that since it's posted in the "Camillus Cutlery
Collector's Forum", that it might actually be a Camillus pocket knife.
