Magoo,
Gunsmoke just kiddin' ya, that's a loverly 31 1/2.
Just need to pair it up with one left in a drawer
unused but the house fell on it and cracked the
handles.
I bet if that knife could talk it'd say:
"AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH !!!!!! Shoot that thang!!
One of us has GOTS to have some relief !!!!"

Here's a recent purchase, a green bone Case/Tested XX 6235 1/2 pattern. It's in pretty good shape with just a little rust on the secondary.

Re: Jacks or Better to Open...
I have been told by a respected purveyor of old Case knives, that all of these are Greenbone. Do you agree??

Pen & toothpick, I feel your pain when trying to determine regular bone from green bone. First off, the term "green" is very misleading, it isn't really green. If you have Steve Pfeiffer's book the color on my knife above is just about the same as the top knife in the middle picture on page 75.
Sometimes, it's a little difficult to tell because of the lighting in pictures.
As far as upnorth's knives, to my eye, the top two knives are definitely green bone, the bottom knife, I can't tell.

That ratty old jack has rare wormy old bone! NICE!!
Here's an older XX era "99" with a rare "A" type clip blade. I'm told is was an optional type clip blade. I have a Barlow with one on it as well.

PS------Owd Wullie, what does it cost to have a knife re-handled??? I've never had one done???? I also saw an eraser,for knife blades?? another new wrinkle in the brain---you guys ever use em' to take spots, off your knives?????
