Flat-Cap Jigging!!

[waynorth]

There are a lot of Sheffield knives from the World Wars era, that have bone handles textured like a basket weave or rough checkering!! It sometimes resembles Tweed, or a coarse wool weave! Some collectors of knives (who you may know!!!) have found the name Flat-Cap Jigging to be appropriate, referring to those ubiquitous English Caps that are popular around the world!!
Here are some examples of the actual jigging!!
And some more;
(thanks to David and SteveC)

And finally, GEC has made a version for upcoming knives!!! A bit larger in scale, but attractive I think!!
Thanks, Bill!!!

If anyone has any jigging that fits these by definition, please post pictures for us to see!!

Forgive my confusion....is it because the jiggings look like flat caps ( ratcatchers) or is it the "tweedy" texture similarity....?

It looks even better than the tweedy ancestor More like a robust Hawser type rope, this is going to look phenomenal with wear and the colour is rich fruit-cake

Charlie the jigging is great but I’m loving those bolsters! Sticking with tradition

Not my knife, I was tempted to buy it though.

 

[Wharn]

Interesting jigging, I like it.

 

[Campbellclanman]

Right!

Ok...a little "out there" but the older - say 70's Japanese Jigging is very "checkered" in the plainest manor possible, but this is a Parker Japanese Knife for Sears, probably some of the nicer Bone from Japan in this manner- and when you look at the diagonal "Striking" it is similar to a larger type of Flat Capping ?- yes? - no? Just thought it may have been worth a mention and look....

Oh Boy.... Rhidian, what better thread than this does this knife belong in along with Heynowwww 's

The remains of Flat capping...
