Natural Boneage!!!

[KnifeHead]

I have not ONE knife with natural bone handles but I am always drawn to them for some reason when examples are posted here. There must be more out there so....

...smok'em if ya got'em!

In the name of all things holy...smooth natural bone that has been defiled

Here is mine:

...but in fairness to the Cing of Collectable Cnives, they do a lot of smooth natural bone knives that are really neat. I like this one and it might just have inspired me to make this pattern....sans the fancy ball marker.

Sorry! Post, none post, disregard.

Those ARE nicely jigged bone handles, and I like them, BUT, I should have explained that natural bone is usually smooth(not jigged)bone that has no alteration of color, ie dyeage.

Three bone handled docs.

Left to right,

Miller Bros., jigged bone

Remington, jigged bone worn to smooth bone

Electric Cutlery, smooth bone.

Just don't look at these bones without the appropriate safety equipment.


Keep Care,

I have a few.

Hope this helps.

Here's my Case Seahorse re-done in smooth nat'l....

This one is natural and unjigged, but of course, it is carved! Dan Burke's design, by Queen.

Here, the top Canoe has Giraffe bone handles.

This one really isn't in your category, Kerry, but it's interesting because it's not dyed, but it is burnt, like they do stag!

Here's a GEC trapper with some old weathered bone they claim is not dyed!

And finally the "ECrowningR" touch, a very unusual pattern Joseph Rodgers, near mint Pen, in natural bone! I love the way the old knives have the tangs stamped both sides. We (my knife club) looked at, and discussed this knife a lot. At first I thought it was Ivory, but we concluded it's Bone.

Kerry & all,here's a knife I got off Tim Britton at Blade last year & gave it to Scott,for his B-day ,later in June
Natural Camel bone & Tim said it was stabilized ,whatever that means

Here's one. It looks dyed, but it isn't. The color comes from the soil where the bone had been buried for many years.

I believe it's my only knife with natural bone handles.

Jigged worm groove for me...

Peter what/who are the 2nd one from the top and the bottom one ?

nice !



Did someone say natural bone handled knuttbuster ?

I think this one sort of meets the criteria you inquired about Kerry. It is natural bone that has had a touch of what I would call burnishing, but no dye or jigging.

Case 6249 in CV and natural boneage:

Hands down the best copperhead I've ever seen. Was that a SFO?

 

[fewpop]

Was that a SFO?

I honestly don't know if it was a special factory order or not. I acquired it this past year on the `bay-watch. Maybe someone else here would know if it was a Case sfo or otherwise.

I think this is natural bone. It's an old Cattaraugus knife. Pretty stuff. Nice thread.
