Old Robeson...Delrin? Bone?

Bought it as bone. Wasn sure, did a hot needle test, it didnt make any marks so Im not sure what to think.

Drop it on the pavement. If it chips it's bone.

:devilish:

What does it look like along the spine of the knife where the covers meet the liners? Any fading/lightening of the color?

It's bone. It was probably a factory second because of the number of "over-spins" on the bone. Great knife anyway!
What are the blades like??

The first number in the pattern number indicates handle material. On most "6" is bone.

Blades are in good shape. Cleaned at some point but good. Very strong snap and half stops, no wobble. Build like a tank!

626240...cant really read the last digit. AAPK said that 6 can be bone or composite
