Pretty sure this one's not right

Post by Mumbleypeg »

I'll be surprised if this one is legit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Case-XX-6 ... SwvTpaEPXI Pictures are poor. Seller says it's a rare Case XX 630925 with bonestag handles. ::shrug:: Doesn't look like a Case. The stamp looks like maybe 63092 S. But the 092 pattern is a square end pattern (typically a "Birdseye" as far back as the Bradford era), not round like this one. On the plus side though, the shield does look a little bit Case Brothers. :lol:

Anybody ever seen another Case like this one?

Challenge had a trapper that used a humpback spey blade like that. If it is a Case it has to be a contract knife.Pictures suck.

I agree its not a 92. The listing seems to imply it is a Tested era knife and doesn't look like a Tested knife. The year specified in the listing says 1975 and its also not a 70's era Case.

Definitely not right. Whoever kluged this one together isn't even a decent knife mechanic. Look how the groves in the bolsters are crimped in where they peened the pins. It really disgusts me when people try to deceive like that.

Other than looking nothing like a Case knife from any era and very rough overall it looks pretty good for a terrible fake.

These two picture are trying to tell us something - those marks don't seem to match the little I know about Case stamps.

Among the many things wrong with this knife I don't recall ever seeing a pattern number stamped on more that one blade of a multi blade Tested era knife. Maybe someone else has? Looks like a Schrade frame to me.

No part of that knife was made by Case. All the markings appear to be lightly engraved. I agree with Wayne; resembles Schrade bone.

It looks like a Schrade to me as well.
