Bone handle

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

Bone handle

Post by 0078 »

What's the best thing I can use on a bone handle to keep it from drying or cracking?

I think Most people (I'm always wrong when I start out "most people") like to use oil on bone and horn to keep it from drying out. Oh, and stag too. It's good on wood if you use it very sparingly...
