Here are Don's pictures. These are terrific Delrin handled knives, post 1969. The story he related to me about the origin and acquisition of these knives was very interesting but I'll let him tell it if he wishes. Re: no ivory for 1-8, and no delrin (?) I suggest reading the catalog section on ivory in the 1969 catalog (previous post). The shop was not offering ivory after 1969 unless someone in person in the shop ordered it. But don't understand why they would not handle a 1-8 in Delrin. In fact, they did earlier in the decade. Two APFKs are known to exist with Delrin handles. Both are probably '66-'68 however.

These are great pictures. Thanks to Don for sharing these wonderful knives. I alert everyone, some revolutionary Delrin information is coming soon.
