<p>My cousin that is rehandling a few of our knives....has a theory about the gassing...in that it might not be the celluloid or plastic by it self....it might be the combination of the Glue that was used with them during construction,...says the worst decay is associated with the glue areas ........just a thought.....</p>

<p>I agree John. We removed all celluloid from our collection years ago. The one we had that had already begun the gassing process was an old favorite. I love a beautiful barndoor hinge! SO, Donnie rehandled it in a blond buffalo </p>

<p>The collector has to be sure of what they are buying. Today's acrylic is beautiful and safe. Pre 2005 manufactured knives with celluloid handles may be called something else in the resale market which is not specific enough such as "plastic" or some other name. I carry several celluloids from the 1990s that are starting to offgas. It is a sad thing is to see a dealer who purchased multiple celluloids in good faith but are starting to destruct.
