i have no clue to the age of these knives...i don't have a great reference library just now.

well done a little research and what i found out was H&B Humason & Beckley 1852 to 1914

I posted this one for opinions awhile ago and did not receive alot of input. CASE TESTED PB91050, best I can tell. Maybe adding to this thread will yeild some input. Any one know anything about this one? If not, think it applies to the "Old and Rare" theme as I have not seen any other posts on this one. If not old and cool nonetheless.

Regards, Jerry

This is a knife that has been in my wife's family for a few generations.It is a Kaleski's Settler made by T Turner & Co England in 1909.

Very unusual

How long is it closed?

Shearer · Post by **Shearer** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:28 pm

It's about 5" closed and has better snap than my Schrade knives.You keep your finger clear when closing it.

Jerry, you mentioned some of my favorite knives, the CASE switchblades. You have a 6171L on your want list. Have you ever seen one? I would sure be interested in any pictures if you have some. I have the 5161L, 5171L and 6161L but I have never had the good fortune of finding a 6171L.

Hey Rooster,

Welcome to AAPK!!! You will find this a great site for info and some awesome people to boot. Great bunch!

Don't have a pic but I will look around. I am dealing with a guy that is known for switches but unfortunately he sold about 70 thousand dollors worth of knives to one guy (as he told it), and he was pretty much cleaned out for now. I think I mentioned the 6171L to him to see if he had one and I recall him saying he has never had one. I will call again and see if my memory is not serving me. He had some 6161L's and a couple of 5171L's left with some various minor cracks or open/close issue.

More interested in his old CASE 11-1/2's at this point, as that is my frame of choice. So I think that will be the one I pull the trigger on first.
I'll get the others on the list soon enough. If I run across a 6171L and can't or don't pull the trigger, I will let you know. BTW, please post some pics to share with the members of the CASE switches, if you will.

Here is a CASE TESTED 6100 SAB with bomb shield (1920' to 1925')...
