IDK the full story on this knife. It was my grandfathers, made for him by a machinist friend of his in the '50s. I'd really like to know what the grip is made of.

He died when I was 3, and I claimed it when I was about 7 or 8. I carved my initials in the sheath. :poop:

Finally took it home when I was 14, old enough to go deer hunting. My grandmother gave me his .35 Rem. 336 at the same time. Took me 40 years to kill a deer with it.

Two days to do two 800 pair splices? Good grief, should have taken less than a day with a decent splicing crew.

We had a guy hit an unmarked gas line with the hoe, first time you see that happen it will give a pretty good pucker...those gas lines aren't as fragile as you're "taught". LOL
Yeah ok....not when that 800pr cable shows up at 9 distribution boxes(called SAC boxes) and it's an old lead cable where the prs are with white/red or white/blue so no color binders and you pray someone wasn't lazy and used an unused pr of wires halfway through a spice for a easy fix 15 years ago and hopefully someone else didn't do that either and so on and so on.....or someone didn't forget to have the platt updated after they spliced in a 50pr cable for a new street or business put in that they ran those 50prs to and cut at that splice.....

But yeah, 2 days.....reminds of the movie money pit with Tom Hanks, where everything was 2 weeks.....

You didn't mention lead/paper...that would definitely take longer.

I had to take another look …thought it was me 🥴
I T-Boned a Ford Galaxy 500 on a Triumph Bonneville in ‘68 ….
went over the top , landed in the street on my face , arm , leg , ribs , 4 front teeth , deep gash in chin. Had a Bell open face helmet , cracked in the middle.

Christmas Eve 87 I was driving in fog ….went straight instead of making the curve , hit a BIG Magnolia tree going probably 25 mph 🫣 My L chest pulled the seat belt out of the floor. Bent the steering wheel towards the ignition , on my way out of the windshield, my back broke the rear view mirror my Skull hit the pillar , went through the windshield, landed on the hood. Cracked my skull , broke lots of ribs , clavicle snapped… 🥴🥴 Spent over 2 weeks in the hospital ….no Santa , Bowl games were over. Still feel the results everyday

THEN , two EPIC Mountain Bike crashes , led with my FACE both times !
A Cat has 9 lives ..Think I am in double digits 👍. 🇺🇸✊🏻

i'm guessing celluloid handle, which was pretty common back then.
