I have never seen a 3 blade Coke Bottle pattern before. Is this knife described accurately?
The flat blade, tang stamping, bone color, jigging, and shield don't integrate into a whole that looks right to my eye.

Hey Jerry,
In answer to your question, not a Coke bottle. Not the first one I have seen either. It is supposed to be a CASE TESTED 6346-1/2 Three backspring Humpback Whittler. "Supposed to be" being the key phrase here. That knife is a total hack waiting for the unknowledgeable to come along. I could be wrong but this seller with the gloves seems to have more than his share of fakes lately.
Out of all the knives I inherited from my Father's collection, he had one fake. It was this same pattern but a CASE BROS Little Valley. I did not know alot about CASE knives at the time but it sure as hell did not look right. Way too pristine for age, like in hermectically sealed for 100 years or something. Lots of other things that give my former knife away also. Actually my first ever post here on AAPK.
Here is that post...

A few months back, I had it in the office as a reminder of what not to buy one day. Heading out to the rifle range, it gave me a dirty look and I used it for target practice with my .308. Safe to say it is well marked and out of circulation now.

This POS deserves the same fate in my opinion.
