Tobias, I love that idea, Teddy was well before my time but from what I have read, he's my kind of guy [President]. If they come out with a Teddy Moose, count me in....

As for the Rough Rider Moose.  while i don't  own any, I have suggested to SMKW that Rough Rider produce a Moose in honor of Teddy Roosevelt, the original "Bull Moose"  My thought was it would make a great commemorative and should come out in 2013.  Why 2013?   Because the Teddy Roosevelt dollar coin was originally slated to be released on 2013 and I thought it would like nice with a big old Moose knife.   Either way, the should make a Rough rider Bull moose in honor of TR.

About today's celluloid.  for the most part, today the term is a misnomer.  The material may look like celluloid but most knife makers gave up on it celluloid long ago.  Today most of what is called celluloid is normally acrylic and it won't gas out.  Celluloid was made of nitrocellulose and camphor.  Overtime the camphor would react with the nitrocellulose and release gases.  Basically you'd have mini-factory producing acid rain on your knife.   Acrylic is synthetic petroleum based hard plastic.  I think  Polymethyl methacrylate  is the most common acrylic resin used for knife handles.  It is inexpensive and well as extremely stable and will not "gas out."

Yea Steve, I have a few Rough Rider Moose patterns. They are strong and built to work. I also have some Colt Moose knives, they are a bit fancier, but well built. I would like a larger handle selection also. Like white bone, hey, camo or green sounds good too.

I have the white bone AG's split bolster Arkansas Toothpick that I've carried for years, and an RR Big Daddy Barlow in white...but that said, most of my "around the homeplace work knives" have yellow handles. They don't seem to walk off the job as easy - (translation: my eyes aren't what they used to be! lol ) Stag or jigged bone for collecting and dress carry...works for me.

Steve, about not feeling the love...Maybe you're more of  Corelon type or Yellow Delrin.  (Not my favorites)

Thanks, Steve. The Muskrat is just as nice, even though I am not a big Muskrat fan. The price was right for me to get it.

I have only one real scrimshaw knife, maybe you saw it, it's my new Hen and Rooster. I love it. I know it cost pretty good to have one done I think. I have no clue who does it either. We have a Group on that, maybe one of those guys?
