Is that French ivory?

 

[Will Power]

Hatchet_Jack I think it is. Some people allege it is a Cell material but I'm not sure, think it's more likely a delrin type but I could be mistaken. Looks alright whatever

I've always seen those Ivory-like striations on Cell; never Delrin or acrylic!! But I haven't seen everything!!!

This is Rhodoïd, a Rhône-Poulenc trademark, created in 1917, based on cellulose acétate, incombustible. The name is based on Rhône-Poulenc and celluloïd.

Jolipapa Many thanks for the clarification Alain, glad it's not a walking flamethrower aka human torch like other Cell types though

Aside from hunting and knives I love history. My favourite period is 18th century North America, particularly anything involving New France.
