Beautiful knife Roger. Love the pattern and the handle material. ::tu::

I do wonder what happened to it to produce that "serrated" edge on the main blade.

Phil,I don't believe the knife has ever been sharpened, even at the factory.

Greg, that's a great display. We're so used to identifying Case knives with the oval shield, makes me wonder how many old one's I passed over just lookin' for the familiar Case oval. ::hmm::

Super little lobster Outcast. Many collectors would love to add that stamp to their Case knife collection.
