Re: Pocket Knife with an IRON blade & BONE Handle. Date???

Breazzie, that's a stag horn handle, not bone. It looks like it was a pretty decent knife in its day, but it is not particularly old.

Re: Pocket Knife with an IRON blade & BONE Handle. Date???

Never heard of a knife having an iron blade, however, mor'n likely it's a steel blade...

Another subject...'Old as dirt' knife is totally inappropriate and insensitive...i use to have a similar knife as a kid and I am totally offended :laughing7:

try soaking it with WD-40 for a while...electralysis would destroy the knife...may be beyond total salvage...place your find in a shadow box for display...

Older than me or older than dirt...careful how you answer this trick question

Mmm, weeeeeellll, I guess I'll have to take the 5th on this one. Johnny Walker seems like a nice 5th or either I could quote Mae West, who said, 'A woman who will tell her age, will tell anything!' Okay, how about this . . .I think my car is older than yours. http://www.picturetrail.com/1954chevy

Most Knife makers did not have a date system the tang stamp would be the only help for a positive guess and that will never happen in this case . However it is a two blade Trapper and was once someones prize possesion :thumbsup:
