Peach Seed?

It doesn't look a lot like the peach seed bone I'm familiar with from Case , but a Google search showed that peach seed bone is what people are calling it.

I will have to see if I can turn up an old advertisement where they call it peach seed bone.

Seems like I’ve heard pick bone used for similar style jigging

There's a term I haven't heard in a long time.

I googled it and found a couple old Schrades that people listed as Pick Bone, and I'm inclined to go with that but I found more examples of people calling it peach seed bone so I'm not sure which is right.

This Moki has some of the most beautiful covers I've ever seen, in the right light it looks like a burning ember.
The jigging is very deep too.

I'm honestly not convinced that it isn't some kind of stag.

I don't know what it's called , but I have seen these same covers from Queen before.

The coloring and gloss on the finish really looks like the old Culpepper Amber Carved Stag Bone that Queen used to use.

Not my picture:

I seem to remember determining back when I bought this knife that the covers were amber stag bone from Culpepper, but can't turn up the pictures I remember finding at the time.

Well whatever this stuff actually is, it's amazing.
 
Hickory n steel Hickory n steel Still think it is Peach Seed, for me Pickbone tends to be more random with clear difference in sizes, shapes of the picks.

As your knife is a Schrade, a study of catalogues 1920s-60s might see if they refer to it as Peach Seed. I certainly have hear it referred to as this in discussions on jigged bone . See the thread What Constitutes Good Bone Jigging. I've taken a doctored photo (p.bucket implosion) from that thread where an ex member clearly refers to it, and it looks like your knife's jigging. Lot of people here know much more than I, try Mike Robuck Mike Robuck or waynorth waynorth ?

The jigging on this IXL Barlow is pretty ordinary, nice but not particularly special.
What really stands out about it for me is the color.

I don't recall ever seeing black jigged bone before, and before looking at it in bright sunlight I naturally assumed that it was some kind of jigged black synthetic.

The only other knife I have that comes close is a 1990 Buck 305 in brown Buckbone that's quite dark like coffee, but not black like this mostly is.

The Winchester black box knives have black jugged bone. So does this Moore Maker
