New guy trying to find information
New to knife forum. Bought a Case Knife for my son in 1988. It has 1982 World Champions on one side of imitation pearl handle and on the other St. Louis Cardinals. Can't find any information on it. Can anyone help?

Re: New guy trying to find information
Welcome to AAPK. Thanks for the pictures.
I'm not a Case guy but using the Case information found here -- http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/wr_case/index.php -- on the forum, I can tell you:
Pattern 92042 means:
9 = Faux pearl or cracked ice handles. A synthetic look alike for pearl.
2 = two blades
042 = a three inch pen knife with blades on opposite ends.
The stylized "lightening" SS on the tang stamp along with the eight dots, indicates the knife was made in 1982 and I feel safe in saying it was an SFO (Special Factory Order) to Commemorate those rotten St. Louis Cardinals beating the Milwaukee Brewers (Brewers were in the American League at the time) in the 1982 World Series. The only consolation is it took the Cardinals all seven games to do it.
As far as current value...
Probably not much more than for an ordinary 1982 Case Pen knife unless you could get two Cardinal fans bidding against each other.

Re: New guy trying to find information
You should post this in the Case forum. It's not a Case Classic, so some of the Case knife guys might not see it here.
