Please post pictures of your Equal End Trapper. I have been wanting to buy one with yellow smooth bone handles. Larry
 
Found this thread waaaaaaaaay too far down.
Time to feed it some new blood and bring it high on the list again.

A classic Case 62075.
Nice, dark bone. Halfstops and great snap.
Fairly hefty knife. Something that won't let you down ever.

A Remington R4353 from 1985. Meet "The Woodsman".
Delrin scales in a fair jigged bone pattern.
Unfortunately, the previous owner of this poor baby didn't give it enough tender, love and caring, and it is therefore suffering from a couple of rust-spots in the clip blade tang stamp and nail nick. A shame...
Otherwise a great knife.

That Case/Bose is very easy on the eye, Thomason.
The stag is just fantastic.

Karl, this one is bone, not stag, but you are right about it being easy on the eye.:D

I guess it's burnt bone?
Is this what some call bone-stag, or stag-bone? Those expressions are riddles to me.
Any which way: It's a stunner, Thomason!! :thumbup:

It is nicely dyed Jigged bone Karl! The color remains strongest down in the "pits" of the jigging. On burnt-bone it is usually lightly "charred" on the high points.

Aaaahh, so burnt-bone would sort of be the inverse of what we see on Thomasons knife (from a colour point of view)?
Thanks for the info, waynorth!
I've learnt something new, again... :thumbup: :D

Some time back, I put a bunch of knives (20-30) in cigar boxes for trading, and put the cigar boxes in a safe place. Suffering from CRS (Can't Remember Sh*t), I forgot I put a muskrat in there! I guess I'll hang onto it for a while;
It has a nice blueish cast to the bone color;

Waynorth, I really like your muskrat... The only other one I have seen in that color was at a knife show about two months ago. Kinda kick myself for not pickin it up.
 
I knew I had an example for you Karl! Here it is; I know the effect is achieved with a flame, but I don't know what the letters SCO in front of the model number stand for. Can anybody help out??

Thanks, waynorth!!
I find the burnt bone quite pretty, actually.
Even preferable to some jigging patterns.

I scored this Winchester (black box) Moose today in a trade, and it looked awful familiar, so I put it next to my Mississippi Moose, and I'll bet a penny or two they came from the same "parents"!
The finishing details on the Miss Moose are much nicer though, and I think that's because of the producer's (Vintageknives) exacting standards; Long pulls, cut swedges, and more "rounding" or "easing" of all the edges. It makes so much difference to a knife; both nice, but Miss Moose wins the beauty contest here!!;)

Hey there Charlie and Karl,
It stands for = SC = Second-Cut(second cut stag) then the #06347
 
So sunny, am I looking at second cut stag, not bone?
