Yeller handles.

Todd that knife as usual is stunning!

I really like this pattern. It makes a nice back pocket knife. With my yellow soddie jr. in the left front pocket, and this one in the right rear, just call me mellow yellow...quite rightly.

Mine should be here this week. I ordered one in yellow and one in brown delrin. Can't wait.

.. I think the handles were white. But have no idea of composition. One side is darker than other due to being exposed to the light. Wish I knew more. Jim

This very same situation occurred with my Uncle's Randall made fixed blade in the 1950's. She started out as a cream colored Micarta(the early stuff) and turned nearly the same color on the exposed side in the sheath. Same as your knife handle Jim.

Can anyone tell me the name of the Keen Kutter pattern? I sho nuff likes that one...it's purtier than the full moon rising over the 'shine still at night...

never mind...found it...it is called a fish jack. here is a great little guide for Keen Kutters or as I remember them being called when I was young Klan Knives (due to the use of "K"s)

Sunnyd and Absintheur, yes, it's a fish jack, 3 1/2" with 1 spear (at least it was) and 1 pen blade. This poor guy's been beat up pretty bad, but it's a very rare pattern, so I'm happy with what I got . These were available as follows:
Ebony handle - 1905 -1909
White bone handle - 1905 - 1920
Stag handle - 1905 - 1926
White cell (the above knife) - 1915 - 1920

Yeah! What that sunny guy said. :thumbup:

 

[ArfinGreebly]

Well, heck.

Who would want yeller handles? Or a sodbuster for that matter?

I mean, really.

​

Oh, you mean those yeller handles . . .

 

[ElCuchillo]

Love that bolsterless Stockman you have there, sunnyd. How old is it?

 

[lambertiana]

I have a yellow bone Moore Maker, but when someone says yellow handles I usually think of things like these:

I guess those Eye Brand knives are gelber handled.

 

[sunnyd]

Thanks Eric,

A Fish Jack pattern!. Wow, very cool. That is one pattern I have never heard of until today. Thanks very kindly for all that information. Now I want to learn more about this very interesting knife.

Hi ElCuchillo,

Its a Case XX 5 dot (1975) 33044 pattern. This little bolster-less Stockman pattern is known as the Birdseye Stockman. So called because of the large pivot pins on the knife resemble the eye of a bird.

quite correct

 

[Morablades]

Got my yellow slimline trapper. Carried it today after modifying it yesterday. I think I like it better than my yellow sodbuster.

 

[lambertiana]

Morablades - Nice mod. It really adds character.

 

[Morablades]

Thanks. I really needed some more grip on this one.
