I am not saying that your knife has plastic handles. I'm just saying that this is possible, and you were ready for it.

I'm not holding out any hope for bone. AND, I see in one of the threads I referenced that my tang stamp doesn't necessary mean mine was made in the '46-'50 time period. The blades could have been on the shelf ever since that time but not used until the '60s.
I'm just happy to have one. I haven't ever seen as much as a hand-full of these.

Guys, since English is not my first language, I always try to choose my words very carefully. This probably doesn't always work out for me, but I appreciate your support. Thank you all! ::handshake::

I agree with Tommy. True story, in one of my 400 level Spanish classes in college the professor looked at me and said, "how can you speak so beautifully in Spanish and talk like you do in English." lol

Mike I sure hope that one is bone, but even if it ain't its a dandy!

Just picked this one up last week. Going into my EDC rotation. You can tell where it had some rust, but cleaned up well, and has great snap.
