Case Muskrat

Post by just bob »

I saw this and the stag kind of stands out as not being original Case material. Then saw the grooves in the bolsters and think that maybe just the blades have been put in this frame?

Doesn't look like a Case frame or bolsters either.

I think the blades may be from 2 different Case muskrat knives. I don't think the RMUSKRAT stamp and the 3 dot 1987 blades go together. Handles definitely not original.

Grooved bolsters?

Note the single backspring...Case Muskrats always have two backsprings. A Frankenknife made with authentic Case blades.

That corroded spring sure is under a lot of stress.
