What a beautiful display of gorgeous colored knives gentlemen, it's such a shame they risk deterioration. Please pardon my ignorance, but is there ever a time when you don't need to be concerned with outgassing, or does that go on for the life of the knife? ::shrug:: Thx! 8)

I have some that are 75-100 years old that haven't outgassed, so I doubt they will.
I still keep a close eye on them.

Here are a couple of photos of my one celluloid knife. To think I was going to have new covers put on! It seems very stable, but I keep a close eye on it nevertheless.

Would I be correct in assuming that you will be headed back to Lexington next year? 8)
