I used to have a small Gerber lockback in MOP, it might still be in a box of stuff at my parents house. I'll have to remember to look for it the next time I'm over there.

Man that's outstanding!! My opinion of mother of pearl is that there just ain't no better lookin cover material to class up a slipjoint.

Man, MOP for the win! Bar none it is the most magical material for a gents folder. Great vid as always and I particularly liked the beginning stills segment

Yep, I'm a fan of Mother of Pearl too. I have knives from about 1800 up to a new one bought this year. Just 7 or 8, as my overall knife collection isn't that huge. Lovely stuff. I wasn't familiar with black MOP, but I'm going to keep an eye out for it now. That Congress is so nice.

I have read about different testing methods to check if Mother of Pearl is real or an imitation. How do you know the difference between the two for sure? Some covers are made with ground Pearl powder.🤔

Like most bone it will have growth lines. MOP Under magnification have layers. It looks scalloped. It also of course is iridescent. Ground mother of pearl is rare. It will still have a muted iridescence. Under a black light celluloid looks like a florescent lemon color. MOP appears pearl white with cream colored edges.

@@rasputinscastle I am always suspect of knives with Abalone or Mother of Pearl covers or scales being authentic. If you are buying a knife for $25 dollars, I have too suspect it is not genuine even if looks like it is. 🤔
