"I Just Want to Say One Word to You...Plastics" Show Your Delrin Clad Traditionals

Case is not in the business of manufacturing Delrin, nor are any other knife maker...DuPont provides the Delrin to any number of manufacturers who choose to use it. There is a plant in Germany, I believe, that manufactures a synthetic quite similar to Delrin, and it's called Celcon or Ultraform, and the chemical properties/differences between these synthetics is 10%. To date, I have yet to hear a Euro or any foreign knife manufacturer refer to their synthetics as Celcon or Ultraform. On the flip side, the misuse of the term Delrin is widespread, and many a knife that wears it, in fact, is sporting nothing more than a cheap plastic.
 
Well this one aint case and it aint quite delrin but its yellow and its synthetic, hope you don't mind...

 
Very nice Lemmy, and let me say that I should have been more inclusive in my OP, and simply asked for examples of any traditional knife with synthetic scales.
 
I like delrin. Extremely practical for use as pocket knife slabs.

Some of my favorites:

Sorry, but it's a Schrade I bought in 1967. Still one of my favorite users.

The black huntsman has been a daily carry for the past 5 years. The red handyman was an NTSA special off EBAY I got a few months ago that I keep in my workday pack.

Got this trapper today. I think this one will get a lot of pocket time. I love the size and feel in the hand. Also of all my Case knives this one has the best fit and finish.

Here it is with its yellow friends.
