Re: Matchng Pairs
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.

Re: Matchng Pairs
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.Ken

Re: Matchng Pairs
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.

However, I do not remember where or when I obtained them. Mid 80s I assume.
Anyone know how many were made

That's cool, there's another set on eBay right now but broken up. These were to, I had to win 2 auctions to get the set. I was told they were a SFO.

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

Both good looking knives. Curious, was the bail an option?

Re: Matchng Pairs
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.Quick Steel wrote:Both good looking knives.
