Going to restore these, anyone know about them?

Really curious about your plans for the one on the left. Turning it into a 3/8?
The shade and thinness of the scales of the one on the right do suggest ivory to me, but I'm no expert.

I'd be pretty sure the one on the right is ivory. The blade looks cut down, but that's ok.
What happened to the blade on the left one?? That looks a bit far gone to me, but maybe you can use it as practice for the other one.

The one on the left is not worth the effort.
Can you get better pics of the one on the right?

I was going to get them because of the ivory but i don't think i can fix the chip it's too big so i cancelled it. I got this in mail yesterday and i started working on it. $9, terrible pictures, rusty blade. I just made a thread about it.
I was wondering who was bidding against me
That ivory one looks pretty decent.

Look at the picture REAL close and that ivory one has a BIG chip in the blade that is hard to see in the picture. I ended up with 2 other ivory ones that were less than $10 each. One's unbranded and the blade is one of my favorites ever and the other one i finished honing and working on last night i'll probably test it out later today. It's a FW Engels special.I was wondering who was bidding against me
The one on the left you could turn into a monkey tail, but that would require a lot of shape shifting and drilling a new pivot hole, which on hard steel is extremely difficult

What's a monkey tail? I can drill a hole in the block of a 454 but i didn't end up buying those, the light colored one has a big chip that's hidden by the picture.
