Jigging and color sure looks off on this. Quite a price and will probably go even higher.

Re: Case 6380 Whittler
I saw that stinker too Bob. In my experience with collectible knives I have yet to see red bone Case with a Tested stamp that I thought was legitimate.
Tested stamp + Red Bone = No.
Not saying that it couldn't happen because I've seen too many exceptions to supposed rules. That said, this knife is no exception but an outright fake. Looks better than some of the fake 6380's out there but far from cigar. Scratched up stainless blades with no patina or corrosion, looks like a stainless steel divider, concentric jigging pattern side to side and top to bottom, weird nail nick on the small clip blade.
Someone is going to buy a real expensive line weight.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Case 6380 Whittler
That knife looks like one of the green bone fakes floating around a few years ago,but someone has made the handles look somewhat better with dye. They were stainless too.
For a long time it was said that pattern was not made in the Tested era.That consensus seems to have changed over the years.

Re: Case 6380 Whittler
We may have thought they were finally gone, but these things have a way of hanging around long after they've been identified as fakes. Seems like these never go away. They just keep changing hands.
