Anyone seen this happen before?? Fungus Amongus ?? Any advice welcome
Here is the situation- I have a beautiful matched set (serial # 072) of Case XX 100th Anniversary 6207 SS Mini trappers with 1889-1989 tang stamps and Case XX Tested Centennial blade etch-- Great so far, right ? Here is the problem- The red jigged bone is fine-- However, the goldstone has developed this nasty green tinge on the inside of the handle on the obverse side only which has also affected the brass pins- I have seen celluloid handles gas, but as this is on the inside of the handle it has me stumped- Has not spread and has not affected the blades or anything else-Any clues or remedies ??

Could be electrolysis ?
with brass pins,steel liner I dont know what Goldstone is but if metalic pigment is involved a path of least resistance could happen. On boats in salt water I have seen electrolysis do funny things.
Maybe you need to set the knife on a pc of lead (joking kinda )

DOH !! Thanks Data-- I own a lot of Case Classics and forgot that dealing with Case is a little different when it comes to regular Case knives ( Non Case Classic knives)-- Even celluloids -- Thanks for the reminder
