PLEASE READ!! Knives and blades forum??

Man that Russell camp knife is calling to me. Looks like it would be an awesome throwing knife too, but it is too nice for that.......
 
My original Russell GRW "thistle knife". Thinking it was made in the 1800s but not positive..........

That thisle knife is a beauty. What is the handle material? That handle checkering is awesome, and I would imagine hand carved like the old gun checkering use to be.
 
Thanks Corey. Yeah it is just checkered wood. It has been stained I think, but it is hard to tell. I am pretty well versed in different types of wood, but this one has me a bit puzzled. It may be ebony. It has a spline to the checkering. I will post another pic, now that I know how to take a pic and post it in about 30 seconds thanks to my 12 year old daughter

3 more new pics of top and bottom of handle and tang stamp. It is amazing the handle is in the condition that it is in considering it's age.........
