Check your Stocks, Man!

Sunnyd, the generic name for the handle material was Pyremite, Remington-speak for celluloid. The specific pattern I'm not sure, but someone once suggested it might have been called duckfeather. It looks brown in the picture, but its actually more green and gold tones. Its not unlike the duckfeather scales on some more recent knives though not as fancy but the colors and patterns are similiar.
 
Thanks waynorth and Arathol, I appreciate you guys quite a bit! I am wondering where all the rest of the stock-knife fellows are though??...:yawn:..

.. Well why we are waiting, do you all remember the "American Wildlife" series, by Camillus.?? Here is one.. 1970's

Here is one from the late 50s, a Utica Kutmaster Premium Stockman dressed in classic colors, Christmas Tree celluloid

Buck 301, Ranger, and Case...Not too old, but not too new either. :)

This old Case Tested Greenbone has the most miles in my pocket of any EDC I own. That patina is totally earned!
With it is a lightly used 70s-80s Queen, a nice big work knife.

This one is somewhat unique. It was made by Robert Paolantonio, 3rd generation cutler from the family that runs Colonial Knives. It has Mammoth ivory scales, filework on the back and artwork by noted scrimshaw artist Joe Luiz on both sides. I got this one from Robert at a local knife show almost 10 years ago.

Some nice stuff showing up here! I've got a few more Schrade and Case knives coming up! And mcgreg should show up any time now with a Cripple Creek!?!? Keep 'em coming guys!
 
Good Morning folks.

A new day...a new knife. A little 2 7/8" serpentine Kabar, model 1071.

While we are talking red bone...
a nice Old Timer from about 1985... red bone, but without the blade etch of the Heritage series.

more Stockmen to come when my camera is charged up again.
 
Case XX late 60s-early70s produced some of the prettiest, and well fit and finished knives you will see. Here's a comely trio from 1970-71. I just love looking at these knives. They show a lot of attention to detail, and feel great in the pocket or hand!

Casares:
I really appreciate the shape of that stockman.
And I feel that leaving the bone smooth actually makes it lots prettier than if it had been jigged.

Waynorth:
The colour in the bone of the top and bottom one is almost to die for. Fantastic!!

Those 80's bone knives have a nice look with that red bone. If you are going to have a knife for years, why not have pretty bone handles, rather than delrin??
 
Charlie - Are those 6347s hollow ground or flat ground? Sweet knives.

I keep kicking myself for not getting any Case slipjoints in the 70s. At the time I used a Buck 301, but there was Case history with the family - my father had a Case, and my grandfather liked them (his first knife, purchased from a Sears Roebuck Catalog in 1919 or 1920, was a Case, and he bought others over the years).
 
They are all flat ground, John.
I too wish I was aware back then, of what knife values would do up to now. We'd both have huge collections, or we'd be world travelers! But you gotta play the hand you are dealt, I guess. It's fun chasing them anyway!!
 
Here is an old Schrade Walden 825 stockman with my very favorite fish shield that I got as a trade for a KABAR sheath knife with a broken handle many a moon ago.. The master blade has an etch(although very faded now) that says:

RAZOR BLADE STAINLESS with the image of an old double sided single edge razor blade under it.
