i am looking at 2 versions of this knife. both have clip and razor blades. handle material seems to differ. the queen premium trapper knife has carved stag bone; the queen(190csb) premium trapper has carved stag delrin. does delrin mean it is not bone ?
 
Delrin is a very durable plastic-like material. It is not bone. It is probably more durable than bone.
 
Yep, Delrin is a synthetic, long used for knife handles. It is much more durable than real bone.

Delrin is the material that Schrade used for the Old Timer line of pocket knives. My old buck 301 stockman used black delrin, and in 20 years of steady use, the blades got skinnier, but the handles were indestructable.

About the only thing that will destroy delrin is melting it in a campfire.:eek:
