Among the parts that he sent me this time was a nice set of bone handles for an 8OT. From the looks of this I would suspect it came from some of the first generation of the 8OT, circa 1960. While the handles had a crack or two, I thought they were still worth putting on a knife, so I did it. Another crack appeared through the rocker pen on the pile side handle but it was pretty easy to stabilize with CA.
So now I have a newer 8OT that was unused and unsharpened with an old bone handle. I must say this older saw cut bone is really pretty stuff! I hope you enjoy the pictures.
