Re: pearl handle switchblade repair
Real pearl is ground from shell, and it has pearlescent (rainbow) qualities.
Plastic doesn't have that quality and is also much softer.

Re: pearl handle switchblade repair
I see what you’re saying! I would think real pearl handles would make it much more valuable! I have learned a lot about switchblade knives here.
Re: pearl handle switchblade repair
That’s pretty cool, now I know the exact origins! Thanks

Yes looks to be very old, handle appears to be some type of wood
Re: pearl handle switchblade repair
Not wood but horn. There is a bug that eats into the horn.
Re: pearl handle switchblade repair
Horn, makes it more interesting, good to know except a bug is eating it

Hope the bug doesn't ask for cheese too.
