Lets see some pocket-worn yellow delrin knives

Sorry no pic but just wanted to add, I got a Case Large Stockman with CV steel and yellow handles last week and I love it.
 
if you encase the address like this you will show the picture in your post.



By the Way, Welcome aboard.
 
Great thread, love seeing older knives. For some reason I find them fascinating. Keep the pics coming :)
 
Great thread ill get some of my yeller knives up to tomorrow. Think I got a Camillus pony jack and an ulster peanut and of course a case SBJ and slimline single blade trapper. Oh and maybe an AG Russell Rancher.
 
Question to those who may know...

I think I recall seeing one of our resident experts here on BF say that the yellow Delrin we see on today's Case knives first started being used in about 1967. Now I know Carl and others have said yellow Case covers have been around since at least the 40's. Was that a different material than the Delrin of today? If so does anyone have examples of these OLDER yellow Case covers vs the ones we see now?

Thanks :)
 
DuPont started making Delrin in 1960 or so. Any knives handled in a synthetic material before then were made of something other than DuPont Delrin.
 
Now that I finally have an IMGUR.com account here are some yellow delrin knives. All four have been carried over the past 4-5 years depending on the knife.

Three CV Case; Peanut, Med Stockman and Pen knife all with some pocket wear and patina (never forced!)
The last one is a Rough Rider. It is really well built and a great value for less than $10. Half stops on both blades great snap.

billym n WFC,

Thanks for the pics guys, that yellow delrin wears very well (or doesn't wear much actually!), it must be tough stuff.
