Here's the only one of these I've seen in the flesh, er. . .greenbone :mrgreen:

! Of course I had to buy it!

It's a Tested 64055P Junior Cattle Knife. I think the spey is a tad (1/8"?) short, otherwise it's a goodie!

I hope everyone is enjoying this thread as much as I am??

I know I am

Ok, it`s not a folding knife.

But I thought it would go well here. Check out the big slabs of jigged green bone on this Case Tested XX hunting knife ::drool::

Charlie,

Nice showing of knives so far. Could you possibly have even more Case knives?

P.S. I am still looking for the Case Bro`s.

Gee, Dimitri, there's enough bone there for four folders!!
When you are used to looking at folding knives, those handles look like small continents!

To answer one of your questions, I collected just Case for a few years, and I was making good money as a general contractor, and the rest is obvious. I will have to sell a bunch by and by, but I'll wait as long as I can.
And I do have a few more to show

Shoot! If I hit the "lottery" I will buy up every Case that is for sale even the fakes! ! " - - but I guess I would have to buy a lottery ticket first wouldn't I? :cry:

Now I have another question. (Hope my ignorance does not show too much) I have this "Commemorative" Case Texas Jack (?) in near mint condition. I do not intend to sell it but would like to have an idea of it's value. I could not get a photo to actually show the etch on the main blade but it reads - -" 1879 BRADFORD CENTENIAL 1979" - - . It has really thick "stag" on the handles and the numbers "5292" -- and "SSP" on the pen blade. I know most of the details about the numbering system but wonder if a commemorative issue is as valuable as a "standard 92 series.

Here it is.
