Clasp Knife:
The term clasp is used to describe knives that have handles that arc
upward at the rear. The Case buffalo is probably the best example of this
style. See illustration. Other clasp
knives include the toothpick, the folding hunter, and many more.

Coke Bottle:
The coke bottle is a jack knife that gets its name from the
likeness of its shape to a bottle of coke. Case has produced several patterns
that collectors call coke bottles. The two most popular include pattern # 25 and pattern # 050. The #25 pattern is usually called a small coke bottle, and the 050 pattern which is
usually referred to as a large coke bottle.

Congress:
Sometimes called a swayback.
Most Case congress knives have either two or four blades (some have three). The two blade version
usually has a Sheepsfoot and a pen blade that open on opposite sides. The four blade usually has a Sheepsfoot master blade
along with a pen, coping and spear blade. Congress knives all have the
same general shape as you can see by the pictures below. Case has produced
these knives in several different sizes ranging from 3" to 4 1/8"
closed. The 69 pattern is the smallest that I know of, and the 88 is the largest. Congress knives
have become a very collectible pattern over the years. The 88 seems to be the most
collectable. The
two bladed versions are not quite as desirable.

49 pattern and the 109 pattern. The 49 is a serpentine style jack. It is sometimes called a Vietnam knife. The 109 is a pen style knife that is
smaller and is most often referred to as a mini or baby copperhead.
