So I was just comparing my two Case 6202 1/2s and found the 1975 is much bigger. Not as clear in pics as in your hand but the bolster is much wider and longer, the main blade a little bigger, the scale is different sized, and the whole knife thicker and heavier than the '65-69. The '65-69 is shorter over all too. Anyone ever seen this phenomenon before? Didn't know Case changed up their pattern specs between these two years but they obviously did, unless this is a fake. Any insight from anyone is welcome. Shocked me since I thought these two were identical but they are not.

They might not be identical but they sure are a handsome pair. ::tu::

Ivoryman, Case does change the tooling from time to time on a pattern and there are sometimes subtle changes in the design the accompany the change. Here's a pair of 3318 stockman's that are a good example although the age spread is more significant than your example.

In both pictures the top knife is from 2012 and the bottom from 1971. You can see the basic pattern shape is unchanged. However looking from top down into the blade wells you can see the differences in construction. I have no idea how many changes Case made to this pattern during that 41 year span. The 2012 knife is actually a sturdier knife.

Good info and appreciate it Ken. Love to hear stuff from those who know what I never even thought of yet. Thanks. Whole new view of this kind of thing now.

Glad to see you were able to get both auctions and keep the matching numbers together. Otherwise they would never see each other again. ::tear::
Good job in preserving history. ::tu::

Yes I hate when sets get busted up. I have a stag gator toothpick that lost its mate along the way and it is a shame.

A bail was at one time an optional available on every pocket knife Case made. Older Case catalogs stated any knife could be ordered with a bail for an added cost, which was minimal. In Sargent's 7th edition there is a picture of a wonderful old Case retail,display cabinet from the Tested era, in which every knife on the display board has a bail.
