Here is one to start the thread, an Hibbard Spencer and Bartlett OVB (our very best) little cattle knife.

I did say celluloid, not cellulite! :eek: C'mon folks; show your Frank Busters or anything else that's cute and cool!
 
The only one I own. Marked "Pavian Cutlery, St. Paul, Minn."

This is my only Celluloid clad knife. A Buck Creek in Cracked Ice. I rescued it from an old tackle box. A fair amount of the tip on the main blade had been broken off. I did what I could to squeeze a little more life out of it.

Those are great. Love cracked ice, especially in Margaritas. Dennis, I know you have some wonderful GEC acrylics out there wanting some exhibitionist time! Meanwhile, here are some Schrade butter and molasses examples.

That Boker USA is really nice. My Dad had a fountain pen a little like that in the 1920"s. DornBlaser, the spiral "blade" is a leather punch. We are still waiting for Dennis Strickland's acrylics, but he has already done a thread on them, so maybe stick with celluloid, the good old explosive stuff.
 
We have a number of fountain pens which would fit into this thread. I wonder if any of the celluloid knives were ever made to be a companion to a pen, or other carried item?

I've got and had quite a bit of Bulldog celluloid and Fight'n Rooster Celluloid.

A stockman and trapper in Purple Swirl:

I think the guy I bought this off of called it "paisly", but doesn't really look like that to me. Looks more like "leaves", but anyway here it is:

Here is a transition half congress with "waterfall" scales:

I think that's pretty much it.

Nope, I thought of one more, actually two more, but I'll have to make a photo to show them to you.

I have a lot more but this Primble my Grand Dad gave to me 40 years a go is dear to me. It seemed old then and one of the only knives of his to never see a grinder!
