That one is WWII vintage or slightly later, with the bakelite pommel. Nice!

Thanks for answering before I asked. I wondered if it was bakelite and you read my mind.

I actually wanted to add to this thread today with an Olcut. This is an interesting knife that I bought on a whim earlier this year because it looked ..... Well.... Interesting

I'm pretty sure those handle scales are jigged wood (possibly cocobolo because of hardness and color). The jigging has held up very well. It seems too light to be bone but maybe I'm wrong. I've been reluctant to mess with them to figure it out. The blade has been used and sharpened many times as you can see, but overall the knife was very well cared for. The sheath isn't original but it came with it and works just fine. The loop is very loose and doesn't hold the handle at all.

Overall it's a really cool knife. Not sure I'd ever use it for anything or just keep it retired, but I enjoy owning it! Lol

Cool knife!

My favorite Western-made knife is this Craftsman branded L36 with a beautifully tooled sheath: 5½" blade, 4¼" handle.

I’m a sucker for yellow bone and ironwood. So nice so nice. Resist the urge to ask Dialton, resist

Me too! Don't know why I don't use it more often. This is probably the first time in a couple of years!

I've thought about spraying slick metal handles with flexi-seal. Haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
Gerber Miming. I have a box of four or so.

I tried it on an all steel fillet knife a few years back and it ended up peeling off easily, easier than plasti-dip.
Maybe if I had scuffed the handle up first it would have adhered better, but I wasn't going to mess up the handle in case I didn't like the flex seal on it.

I'd forgotten plasti-dip. . I can see flexi-seal would be pretty thin and soft.

I liked the grippy wrinkled finish it gave better than plasti-dip but it just didn't hold up.

I really don't like plasti-dip myself, it feels like that slightly rubberized finish they used to use on lots of electronics like mp3 players and portable CD players...etc 20 years ago and the feeling of it makes my skin crawl.

I've never used plasti-dip.

My latest 2 just got them they will be clean and sharpened, gut a couple of blade nicks to get out.
