Found something a little interesting

I don't know if anybody has noticed, but there actually is one schrade cut listed with genuine stag handles in the 1938 supplement catalog. Maybe I'm not the first to notice this, but I found it interesting nonetheless. Note that it says both blades are full crocus polished, pretty neat.

What's "Crocus Polished"? I've never heard of that before.

Crocus is i believe the finest grit of all the polishing compounds hence gives the shiniest blade finish, not quite mirror. This might need correcting in which case we both will learn.
I have at least 2 Schrade Cut Co folders with original stag handles. I will post a picture when i find them.

KJ is right, it as the grit of abrasive used to polish the blade.
It may have been the finest grit the used in those days, I don't think it is the finest grit available today.
I believe it was the finest grit commonly used to finish a blade aside from mirror polishing.
