I used to own an early Hanson barlow with jigged wood scales. Sold it sometime ago here on the forum.

The folding hunter in this pic has jigged wood scales. They were fairly common on that pattern in the 70's. It's the same color as Case jigged Delrin but you can see wood grain up near the bolster.

Here's one that I recently posted in the thread about folding hunters.

I bought this one new in Houston in 1977: three dot Case 6165L.

Are you sure its wood? On the older knives (pre-WWII) very very little jigged wood was used. In fact that Camillus rope knife is the only common example.

Your knife may be jigged bone. I have never seen an antique pocket knife of that quality level and style (or other jacks, stockmans, etc) with jigged wood handles. Real bone, various celluloid and hard rubber imitation bone styles, yes, but not jigged wood.

Sometimes Ebay sellers not knowing the difference will assume that a material like bone is wood.

knifeaholic,I hear ya',I just don't know how to tell,I gotta go look at this now outside in the good daylight with a magnafying glass

I looked it over under a light with a glass & where the scales meet the liners,you can see graining,much like cocobolo.I'm pretty darn sure it is wood.
