Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?

[Sasquach]

Added another canoe to the fleet........

[timgreene48]

Now that's a knife!

[Sasquach]

Here's another one I just acquired..........1965 - 1969

I have a correction to make.........I have learned from a fellow collector that the Indian/canoe etch on the master blade of this knife was not used until mid 1974 so this knife is not from the 1965 to 1969 era. It appears to be one of the "hidden dot" knives and as such would have been made between 1974 and 1979. Those dots are REALLY hidden too!!! It's still an old Case in excellent condition......it's just not as old as I thought.

My newest just arrived today. Case 125th Anniversary Baby Butterbean.

Some more nice ones, Charlie. I personally like the 1970's ones (with and without the canoe etch) best, mostly because of the bone.

Got some news ones!

[Sasquach]

Where are all of the other canoe collectors???

And another new one!

[Sasquach]

Come on guys, let's see some canoe patterns!

One more new addition for good measure.....

[jerryd6818]

How about a one eyed, one horned flyin' purple pumpkin cutter?

Sure looks strange to me.


My one and only. Also had a Queen but sent it off in a trade.

[Sasquach]

It's a nice one too, Jerry! Pocket Worn Red Bone, a clasic!

Here's the other one I've got from the Artisans Tour. There are five of them but I only have the two so far.

[Sasquach]

While Case canoes are my favorites, all canoes are cool!

Here's an older Frost.

[Old Hunter]

Charlie, Here is a Case Canoe I won on Jerry's Wounded Warrior Auctions a month ago - I played with the blade and the dot pattern and decided it most likely was a 1974 (but it might be a 1975). I see Frost put a second Indian with a bow in his canoe - had to one up Case! OH

[Sasquach]

That's a nice old Case Canoe ya got there OH!

Frost may have tried to go one up on Case but he came up short. It's a nice knife but if you hold it up next to a Case it doesn't quite make that grade. Some of the Japanese cutlers used in those days did fine work but it's real hard to beat Made In The USA.

[Sasquach]

Time for some Christmas Cheer!

[Old Hunter]

Merry Christmas Charlie (and of course, Happy Thanksgiving!) OH

[Sasquach]

Thanks Old Hunter! Hope your Thanksgiving was full of good food, family, and good friends.

May you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well!

[Sasquach]

Here comes Santa Claus......right down Santa Claus Lane.......

[Sasquach]

Ho, Ho, Ho.......

[Old Hunter]

Charlie, Nice Santa Clause knife! I have a question for you; I saw a NOS Case Canoe recently that was made in 1985 (I also own a 1974) - both knives have one wide backspring for the two blades. I have a Case Canoe made in 1998; pretty much the same knife - however, it has two narrow backsprings, one for each blade. When did Case change from one to two backsprings as their method of construction for this model? Thanks, OH

[Sasquach]

Well Old Hunter, I knew it was in the '80s but couldn't tell you a year. So I asked a bunch of other Case collectors. The consensus so far is 1985 or 1986. If I can pin it down any more than that I'll let you know.

[Old Hunter]

Thank you Charlie, when I get back there next week I'm going to buy that 1985 if it's still available. OH

[at86]

Heres a 10 dot

[Sasquach]

Nice old canoe at86!!! Looks like it's in great shape too!! Thanks for showing it. If you have more, let us see them.....

I need a bone handled 10 dot. I'm working on filling out my "'70s section". I have a ten dot stag. There's a pic of it back on page 20 of this thread.

[at86]

Oh WOW man you have some nice knives!!

[Sasquach]

Thanks. When you collect......it doesn't matter how many you have......there's always more you want to get!
