Harry Love your 73, amazing stag! :cool: That looks like real bone on your fixed blade, I like the Eagle head pommel. Good work on cleaning them up. :thumbup:

Thanks for the kind words Mark . I really doubt that the fixed blade handles are bone . The pommel is what we used to call White Metal . Real cheap stuff and I am sure that I would have not paid much for that knife because I never had much . Have not used the fixed blade for a few years and the fish knife since probably 1961 .

Harry, looking at the handles you can see saw marks and near the bottom of the pommel there is dye. Plastic does not take dye at all. It may be a cheap knife but bone is cheap too. If you want to test it, heat up a needle with a lighter or something and press it into the handle. If plastic you will have a small pin hole if not, it's bone.

Gevo Watch your mailbox this week birthday guy. :eek::D

There's no name on it and I wasn't sure that $40 wasn't too much, which may have something to do with my under-valuing it. But I couldn't resist it at the time and I'm glad now that I didn't.
