not a bad mode to own there!

Still on the hunt for an unused model.

hard to find models for me, 6205R/Muskrat/6347PU/64047 ( well not always hard to find, just waiting for the right price, I buy a lot of knives, need to be patient for the right deals or ill go dead broke)

I do have a 6299 XX era I would trade for a nice pattern I'm missing, straight trade or trade up with some $$.

Nothing against used knives, just trying to limit this set to mint/near.

Also I don't consider xx/tested of the same pattern as duplicate, any slight difference will be considered...

-blade configuration
-Circle C vs. XX era C
-anything else I'm missing?

I have a 6318 Tested coming in from Muskratman, and a 6318 XX coming from a good friend... And most exciting, 6375LP coming from one of our members.

Hey Zach,
Great collection you have going there. Great knives. You asked "what am I missing". Not sure what your end goal is but CASE made a XX 63055. Rare bird. Dont see a RB one in there. There are all sorts of pens, stockmens and small Jacks.
Hard to help without knowing " goal" of the set. Maybe I missed something. You have a nice collection going whatever the end goal.
Regards, Jerry

Well maybe one day I'll try to have them all, mainly after the larger patterns before I persue small ones, unless the price is right.

6205R is my next big hunt

Jerry A.that 63055 is indeed a rare one. I would love to see one if you have one.

Jerry that's a good looking knife, but I just can't jog myself into an appreciation for the rough black. I love the slick black, seems to give certain knives a sophisticated look. I'd love to get my hands on a bone 63055.

I have a question.

I have seen dozens of 6488LP rough black congress in the last few years, poor-mint condition.

What I haven't seen much but a handful of is 6488 Reg pull rough black, I was thinking, since rough black was used early in the XX era, and also the Longpulls being early in the XX era, what's the rarity of a Regular pull 88 rough black? It almost seems likely its more scarce.

all opinions are welcome. I eventually plan to get a photo album of every rough black configuration out there. That will be quite the task.

Those are beauties, a nice collection. I've always liked the older Case knives in Rough Black. I have a few but nothing like the ones you have shown here. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Haven't added any new ones to the set in awhile, its been slowing down some

Hey Zach,

Steve has a pretty rare 055 pattern. I know you are looking for near mint but might cleanup well.
This is the only other I have personally seen.

Hey jerry, just seen your heads up about the 6345, its nice.. on the fence tho, would need a little TLC. I might jump on it if I can make up my mind soon enough!
