Are these the real deal? My guess is no.

Bob,
At $50.00 I think the seller would be wise to let them go. That's several more dollars than they are worth.!! Coming out of Louisville as well they were probably put together there and sold very cheaply.

Re: Pair of Case Knives
Those handles look to have more of a Halloween flare than Christmas tree.

Re: Pair of Case Knives
I think the handles are what is called "Old Christmas Tree". It is not as common as Christmas Tree celluloid but it is not rare.
Often i can spot a fake or 're-work' but with these 2 knives i think you need to know Case to know that they are fakes.
Am i missing some obvious signs, ones not related to knowing Case patterns ?
