A Nest of Copperheads

[Papa Bones]

I like the Wharncliffe.
What exactly is Richlite"? I assume it's some kind of synthetic; but, how is it different from Celluloid, Corelon, Delrin, and Kirinite?

I had to look it up also. It is basically a type of paper micarta with a phenolic resin. Several sites had information. It is used in many applications including aircraft, musical instrument fretboards and residential applications. Here is the Richlite site. https://richlite.com/

EDIT: It is basically a type of Paper Micarta with Phenolic Resin. OK...got it.

Appreciate it "Q"

Thanks Jerry. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Smitty, the problem is, after seeing that one, I went over to SH and took a peek. They've added several "gotta haves" since the last time I was there. Far beyond the bank breaking point of my pocketbook. They're tempting but I have a tooth that's started botherin' me and my pocketbook is afraid to go to the dentist.

Gotta add the 2021 Burnt Cream Barnboard Jigged Bone 6149W to the nest. Yup, the next iteration of a single Wharncliffe Copperhead that everyone has been waiting for is finally available.

I know the answer is probably here somewhere but I'm just gonna ask. What determines a knife to be a copperhead pattern. I have this knife which Parker calls a copperhead but it looks somewhat different than many of the cool knives I see in this thread. Is it the bolsters or the frame or what?

This bump on the bolster. And by the way, excellent picture. Well done lad.
