I'm not 'techie' enough to change this to read a bunny knife instead of a thirty round magazine...sorry.

I am hoping the covers are black delrin.

Someone mentioned delrin cracking at the pins, but I have never seen cracked delrin even on knives that are 10 years old?

I haven't seen cracked Delrin/Staglon on 70+ year old Schrade family of knives. Of course should a Schrade/Imperial/Ulster/Old Timer/ Camillus Delrin or Uncle Henry Staglon cover crack. Schrade's lifetime guarantee that a Delrin or Staglon cover won't crack is kinda-sorta moot and irrelevant now, I would think ... ☹️

It was commonly used in fountain pens and mechanical pencils until the late 1920s, when celluloid took over.

Ebonite is still used for high end fountain pen feeds, and possibly the section (grip). Pens with a gold nib (not stainless steel that may or may not be gold plated) and pens that retail for $300+ generally have an ebonite feed. Plastics and acrylics are used on pens that sell for less. The plastic/acrylic feeds work just fine, and can keep up with a wet flex or stub nib no problem ... and cost less ... However, unlike an ebonite feed, they can't/don't flex. I'm confident they could change the chemical composition of the plastic and acrylic to make them as flexible as an ebonite feed if they wanted to; just as they could switch from a Celluloid barrel and cap, to an acrylic on the $500 ~ $1,000 plus pens.

I'd also like to know what high end knives have delrin? I think its a basic material that came about as a cheap and durable alternative to wood or bone...as such it would go well on a Bunny knife...inkeeping with the poverty stricken, rabbit scoffers of the past.

Not to mention the unsatisfactory synthetics like shrinky-dink, that preceded it. And celluloid.
 
That looks great for this years forum knife. Hopefully I can get one
