I thought that the names (i.e. Remington) could be just a style. And the knifemaker would just carve the bone and dye it. So that assumption is wrong, right? Thus, the "Remington bone" on my Bose knives is old bone from old Remington stock?



Juan,
No doubt,the Rem Bone on your Bose knives is the old stuff.
Interesting where this thread is going & not to hijack,but,I am taking a delivery of a knife,hopefully tomorrow.The maker told me he had bone,that was jigged with tooling from something near to Rem. bone The coloring,he told me,is like amber bone,but the jigging,similar to Rem. bone So in this case,it is newly manufactured/jigged bone,replicating the Rem. bone jigging.
I'll post a picture/pictures of it,in JPN's "Bone Quiz" thread,if he allows/it's O.K..It is a knife(slipjoint) from a Bose pattern

I also have 2 custom slipjoints,that have jigged bone,that was from a German production knife co.,the maker told me it is around 80 years old.His supply,were pre-cut scales,left over stock
