Don’t know how I’ve missed this thread - some outstanding examples shown. I’ve always been partial to bone, and especially old worm groove bone. Some of the best of that was used by Cattaraugus and Robeson. It has occurred to me that those cutleries which rarely or never used genuine stag often went to greater lengths to use bone jigged to more closely resemble stag.

That's a beautiful old knife. Is the blade still tight?

Nice Catts everyone! You just don’t find better bone than the old Catts have. It’s a shame no one produces bone like it today.

I agree, Ken. It seems like they can't get the dye correct to match these old ones.
Maybe that's a good thing?

Thanks Ike. I alternate between taking bad scans and bad photos.
Nice herd of jigged bone IM. I like the three in your second to last pic.
