A Colonial American Farm recently celebrated its 200Th anniversary. While clearing the grounds for the celebration, a cattle graveyard was discovered. Cattle skeletons had been accumulated in a common area for many years. The bones were gathered together into a sizeable pile. Craftsman at Great Eastern Cutlery perceived the possible value of these primitive bones and obtained some samples for prototypes. The bones were in a state of natural deterioration, showing severe age and weathering. Special processes were designed and utilized at Great Eastern Cutlery to prepare the primitive bone for knife handles and for assembly to pocketknife liners. The finished and polished knife handles, as much as sixty years old, have a unique character and coloration that can only be achieved by the many years of aging and natural weathering. Great Eastern Cutlery was able to obtain the primitive bones and will use them for a series of highly collectible Northfield Branded Serialized knives.
