Re: Boker (USA) Sythe intro

It was very common before weed eaters. Still sold on Amazon but I don't think there are any US manufactures.

Re: Acra-Glas repairs for bone handles

The Red will probably be best for that job. A lot easier to get in those tiny holes he drilled.That's a neat way to measure the the portions.

Re: Acra-Glas repairs for bone handles

The Acra-Glas in the green box is a lot easier to mix and work with.It's about like butter and the red is liquid.

Re: Fake Case??

I've been watching that knife.I really like those single blade peanuts but I have enough users. I don't think it's ugly. If you get it for $10 I think you're lucky.

Re: Beware Case Jigged Burnt Natural Bone

Natural bone turns green.I bought my knife new from a case dealer so I don't think it's been rehandled. There are some of these around. There is one for sale on this website. If I remember right it's Spencer Knives. Check it out and see if you think it looks like Burnt Natural Bone.

Re: Beware Case Jigged Burnt Natural Bone

I think it 's caused by exposure to air. When it was new both sides of my knife looked like the bottom picture in my first post. The pile side was laying on a cushioned material and air couldn't get to it. Notice how discolored the other side is just above the shield.

Re: Beware Case Jigged Burnt Natural Bone

Gino,
When it's new the bone is white. It slowly turns green. At first it's kind of pretty. Then it gets the color of fresh cow manure.

Mine doesn't have the bail. Just 2 tiny holes. I would like to see one too. I doubt many survived they couldn't have been very strong

bestgear, I put it in my display case and pulled it out today for the first time. I'm was sure he said it was a Dale Earnhardt knife. My grandson was his fan.

That bolster is like the top picture. I cropped that out and magnified it several times. It's just a bad pic due to my edits.

My Grandson got me this as a gift at a truck stop in Ohio 20+ years ago. No box or paperwork. Any comments good or bad are appreciated.
