Case Cotton Sampler

Post by btrwtr »

Anyone care to guess the final "value" of this beauty.

Nothing right about it. Wrong bone, terrible stamps.

Not the only bad knife he's selling.

Thanks for posting that, I was going to post it.

Seems like there are lots of fake cotton samplers out there in various brands.

Just a personal opinion, but I can’t say that I find this way much better….

It's the same seller as the first knife. I wonder if the first $610 buyer realized it was fake and returned it?

Yes, sir; and this too was my presumption as it certainly appears to be the same knife.

For what it’s worth, I too want to thank you for starting this thread as it allowed me to confirm my initial impression.

Looks like someone took a blade from a Bulldog CS then ground the tang down and restamped with these lousy Case markings. Then put it into this handle and frame.

The seller now has this at that bottom of his page;
here is a nice Cotton Sampler pocket knife. it is marked W.R.Case & Sons but it was NOT made by Case. knife is a reproduction / knock off. that being said it is a nice knife with excellent half and full stops, strong snap, no wobble and 4" closed. has one small spot on back of blade.* again this is NOT a knife made by Case.* we use paypal.
