Wood Handles???
Wondering about knives with Wood Handles. Most TL-29's have them, some old Cattaraugus and a few of the Remington Year Knives have them. What other knives have Wood Handles??
What kinds of Wood is used? It seems they last well - compared to Bone or other????
It is said the 1989 Trapper Remington Year Knife is a close repro of the original because it has Cocobola Wood handles and not Delrin.
Here is what it looks like:

Thanks Robert for the research.
Ron, your wood handled knives look in excellent condition, mine are all old, but the wood still is in good shape. yes, It must hold up very well.

I have 10 Wood handled knives but can only really ID the 2 Remington Year Knives. Some of the others I can guess at but don't know for sure.
