If only Case could still dye jig bone like that...If only GEC could dye and jig bone like this...
I agree with you John, I don't think Case (or GEC) consistently dye and jig their knives across all patterns as well as the Chestnut bone series.Yup... Looks good to me too.
I think Leslie was referring to the fact that lines of the saw cut bone covers are running at 45° angle to the line of the handle, whereas the lines on the case are more of a 90°
Picture of Case saw cut for demonstration purposes.
Some of the "sawcut" handles are milled to give the pattern...….. The milling serves 2 purposes; (1) mill the handle to a uniform thickness & (2) produce a faux saw cut...… An indexable insert face mill with poorly set inserts will produce any number of pattern variations...….. You can get depth of tooth variation; feed rate variations; angular changes along the handle length axis, etc, etc...…. All you need is an old face milling cutter, a small production or knee mill and a little imagination.....
I figured that they were all done that way. So some are actually cut with a saw?
I think it broke off. I'm sure it will get fixed before it goes out the door.Half the scale is missing, you think they would notice that in process.
