I would like to see as many different examples of jigged bone that the old knife companies used on their knives.
Show some close up & clear photos of the knife & the jigging on the handles.
To get started here is an old Case Bros. with worm grooved jigged bone handles
You gotta love the old jigged bone!

I do have just a few, but not as many as you may think. Pics will have to wait until tomorrow when the lighting is better

That Case Bros. and the S&M have some wonderful bone and great jigging. I'd say it is probably pretty hard to duplicate that stuff today.
