SOME OLD BONES
I was sorting through some knives and pulling out the bone handled ones...most of these are Schrades

Re: SOME OLD BONES
Nice collection of Old Bones at rest.
I’m sure that you keep them oiled so they don’t become Creaky Old Bones.

Re: SOME OLD BONES
Very interesting to me, the different jigging patterns on those 863s. I prefer the pattern on the single. Something about the old bone that draws people to it.

Re: SOME OLD BONES
That is a lot of good looking Schrade knives. Are they all either never used or only lightly used and with full blades ?

Re: SOME OLD BONES
Thanks for the good words.
Tony, that's the very reason I was sorting them out...to oil the blades
Jerry, the one that looks like an 863 in the top row with the match strike pull is a short line Camillus
Joe, There's some there that have had plenty of use and show it, some I've sanded the blades to look darn new, and a couple that have almost no wear.
I've got a couple displays that will only hold a closed knife so some of them were bought just because I like the looks of the old bone scales.
I know a lot of collectors don't like the idea of cleaning an old knife. When I first started collecting I asked a collector I'd come to respect about that. He gave me what I consider good advice. He said that if you like them bright and shiny then shine them up, if you like them with a patina then leave it on the blade, but always remember.... dirt is not patina. Personally, I like bright and shiny. Here's a before and after closeup of the handle on that Hibbard Spencer Bartlett & Co ..top left I assume that the dark crap filling the jigging in the top picture is an accumulation of sweat and dirt...one thing I know for sure, is that it's about as hard as a rock and soaking it in warm soapy water and using a bristle brush is about the only way to get it out

Re: SOME OLD BONES
Great looking group of bone knives. I really loved the bone until
I started getting some stags. Now I am hooked on stag! ( of course
it happens to be more expensive too !
