quick question.. tested 087

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

During the Tested era only white and black. The white is sometimes mistaken for yellow.

Though they're not on the tested price sheets, I have seen a couple of tested 33087s. I don't recall seeing any 32087s.
