Flat-Cap Jigging!!

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!!View attachment 2756332
Here are some examples of the actual jigging!!View attachment 2756354
And some more;View attachment 2756356View attachment 2756357
(thanks to David and SteveC)

And finally, GEC has made a version for upcoming knives!!! A bit larger in scale, but attractive I think!!View attachment 2756362View attachment 2756363
Thanks, Bill!!!

If anyone has any jigging that fits these by definition, please post pictures for us to see!!
I like the looks of those GEC covers Charlie ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค 
Those look fantastic. Congratulations!

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....
