Remember Bakelite?

[Karl B. Andersen]

That's because you introduced us, Don.
I'll always owe ya'.
Need a piece of Bakelite?

Oh man! I like that, Karl.

Your making that W2 speak to ya now.

That's KOOL Karl! The hamon and blued guard look excellent with the "butterscotch".

It is amazing how many items have been made from bakelite. The telcos used it extensively. The bright colored items such as women's bracelets can command many $$$'s.

Ever see one of these:

Karl those are gorgeous. I've got some vintage bakelite steak knives in that same color. wanna trade? hehe

 

[betzner]

On Ebay, there are over 14,000 Bakelite items, of which 585 are knives. Quite a few have butterscotch (amber) handles - but nothin' - by far - that compares with your beauty, Karl.

That handle looks very comfortable. Handsome blade shape and hamon, and the blued fittings really set it off. Nice package, Karl.

to the poster who asked about fumes and such, I think that one was celluloid.
Awesome knife there Karl.
That's some neat stuff.
