This group is still a work in process.
Some great Research and my thanks to the tireless work done by Sue OldsWidow. Check out that index, you just may be there for days! Also her research turned up an old resource that is worth revisiting if you have not seen.
Produced by iKC Member Tobais Gibson its a good reference for collectors: http://apg2k.hegewisch.net/index.html

Thanks Jan, but that was actually Sue's question. LOL!
She asked; "Ok, I am stumped with my INPUT for Western States knives....I can not find any info on the handle materials used....ANYONE OUT THERE have ideas?" down there.......
Craig,
Anything in here that helps?

Ok, I am stumped with my INPUT for Western States knives....I can not find any info on the handle materials used....ANYONE OUT THERE have ideas?
Does this help any Sue?
Western States -
"Early Western States knives were manufactured by Challenge, New York Knife Company, Valley Forge, Utica, and Case Cutlery among others"
I would imagine handle materials used would be the ones used by those companies? Vintage Western States knives I've seen have the usual bone, celluloid, wood materials.
Jeremi,
I love this pic!
"Girls like knives too :)"
Thanks my friend
Excellent, going to have to buy this book
