Gum fuddy, I wasn’t aware of that name before. There’s an old thread about it here on BF. I have a Case muskrat with such scales, I like it.

… and on the same topic, here is a thread on dymonwood. Im getting a Buck Vantage with this scale material, but that’s for the general knives section…

And here is some info on Richlite, apparently invented in 1943.

Love this.

Thanks
I noticed this blade was exceptionally easy to get razor sharp even for an amateur like myself, using my worksharp benchstone.

Re-cover in some good old Westinghouse blueline. One of my favorite synthetics.

I have always really liked some good old gum fuddy too.

Schrade sawcut Delrin has long been a favorite of mine.

The grippy looking green scales above reminded me of my old Schrade 1410T. I guess it counts as a ‘traditional’

Seems to be quite a collection you have. The coronation knives are pretty cool btw. I imagine they can be rather coveted. Did they issue any for King Charles?

Thank you I have a few different Coronation knives, but I've not seen any issued for Charles. When his mother was crowned, every school boy in Sheffield was given a penknife (the girls got scissors)
