Re: What do you guys think about this one?
Nice one, similar to the old 25 cent knives.
Re: What do you guys think about this one?
Looks like the choil was ground down so the blade would sit lower
Re: What do you guys think about this one?
looks like a weld job
Re: What do you guys think about this one?
It has had some grinding on the tang area, at least. Harold

I don't know much about tang stamping, but ......... is that cold stamped?

Frame and handles look good. I don’t like all the after market grinding on the blade as well as the kick being ground down. Weld?
Here is a picture of what I would expect the kick to look like.

Re: What do you guys think about this one?
The kick has been ground down for sure, and I find the heavy sanding/grinding on the blade and tang (which obviously removed the top part of "Case" on tang stamp) to be of concern. My immediate thought when looking at this knife was also "weld job".

Re: What do you guys think about this one?
Personally I believe the knife looks fine. If you compare it to other similar knives such as the 25 cent Tested 06 they are all like that as far as the blade profile. Of course I am talking about the authentic ones, lol.

This one might be from the same time period, check out the tang stamp.

Nice Catt, JKB!
On the OP knife, does that pattern number stamp look legit? I think I remember reading somewhere that there's scepticism that any of the 25¢ tang stamps are legit, and the 50¢, 75¢, etc. definitely are not. I know this is a Case Bradford stamp but that makes me cautious, it would have to be at the right price for me to roll the dice. Just my 2¢.
