It has a very very thin celluloid wrap. Do not sand.

Re: Old Colonial 2 blade nude handle...what year?

I would say most of the nudes and bathing beauties would be models not family members or girlfriends.
The ones Wabash made were models mostly from Chicago.

Re: Iroquois

I picked up this Iroquois tear drop jack recently at a gun show. It is 3 and 3/8 inches OAL, has half stops on both blades, and is handled in what appears to be candy stripe celluloid. It has a different tang stamp than my other Iroquois in that it is circled and says Utica NY. It also has the numb...

I have a few RRs. Maybe 10.

Re: "Forcing" a patina

I think everyone has covered this pretty well, but for me slicing tomatoes gives a good, natural patina. I would clean the blades after each use and wipe them with food-grade Mineral Oil. The color becomes more brown and varied, rather than the grey vinegar patina. Slicing strawberries gave it a da...

No. A jobber is someone that sells knives not manufactured by themselves.
Such as Case Bros. when they started out and also Western.

Re: SHOW YOUR NEW (TO YOU) ROBESON

Picked up this Robeson to add to my gunstock whittlers. Says it’s a 632374 (I think - the last digit is hard to read). It has jigged bone covers (probably Rogers bone), 3-3/8 inch closed length. I don’t find that pattern number in any of my references but I have a couple other Robeson patterns that...

Carl, is anything added to the sap/syrup or is it just boiled down sap?
