Resin I think (on my pallares anyway).Real plastic?View attachment 1740319
It sounds perfect GregThanks, Jack.
The old Bayonne knife has some battle scars, pitting, scratching and pocket worn bone but I like the character the years have given it. Plus it's still snappy and has steel that takes a razor edge.![]()
Thank you my friend, there's a little info on Croisdale in what remains of this old threadCertainly a beauty!

Terrific Black Friday choices JJ
Thanks. If TEW quality is not up to GEC, then I will pass. I don't mind paying a higher retail, and waiting, but would expect higher quality. Thanks again.Thank you for the kind words my friend .
I bought the Taylors Eye Witness knives back in 2015 and 2016 and at that time they cost what GEC does now . I personally believe that GEC ergonomics is better than TEWs . The GEC quality level may be a little Higher than TEWs , but the TEWs are certainly usable and the newer ones that I have shown all have Stainless blades and Brass liners . My Older TEWs have Zero stainless and they are still very solid and get used a lot . GECs are basically hard to get for whatever reasons but TEWs are easier to get but they Did Have Long Wait Times after the order , but back then I ordered them directly from the Factory . I originally ordered the TEWs Barlows because I could not order ANY GEC Barlows and I was just starting to Collect Barlows . I would encourage you to get at least one TEW and see how you like it . Some of them may appear Too Pretty to use though .
