Not really old, but it's all I've got. Cashel Horseman's knife (made in China)--got it ca. Christmas '06 or '07, instead of the Victorinox Equestrian I wanted back when I was actively riding English. These were found in Tractor Supply stores in the horse tack area for around $10, as opposed to the nearly $40 price from SMKW at the time for the Victorinox. The knife is very cheaply made. The clip point blade is nearly inaccessible--I mostly used the bot knife blade as it was easier to get to. Didn't even carry it that much, as at the time, I think I only had a handful of knives (I started collecting summer '06 at age 9), all I carried was my grandfather's 34OT and a folding hoofpick. All the other stuff I needed was kept in a cabinet in my own barn, and in the tack room at the stables.

Tools:

Clip point blade

Bot Knife

Grooming blade

Punch *(useless due to looking more like an unsharpened sheepsfoot blade)

Hoof pick (recall using it just a couple times--used my old green Epona hoofpick all the time (kept it or a cheap folding hoofpick on me at all times).

A few points to note though Cody. You started young and have kept up with it. It may have been cheaply made, but it was the best you could do at the time. Carrying your Grandfather's knife is ALWAYS something special and a handful of knives at that age is pretty darned good IMHO. Thanks for sharing! ::tu::

Put simply-apparently a parasitic larva of a fly that resides in a horse's backside.

Quite the collection you have there Outkast! I'm pretty proud just owning one of these old beauties, but you've gathered quite a herd of them. Nice collecting of a great old pattern!

Speaking of cutting burrs, my Dad asked me did I think that these were carried more by bird hunters for that purpose. It does seem more logical for the time frame 1920's to 1940's maybe. I see more people hunting than actually having their dogs groomed.

That makes perfect sense. I live in between town and country (closer to the country :mrgreen: ) and the hunters have a lot more dogs than I see at the dog groomer at our vet's office. I haven't hunted in years, but if you have a Jack Russel Terrier, you'll end up using one of these if you have one.

Ok gotta a question just got this off Ebay today. As most yall know all too well it could be something someone put together but I'm not sure. I have never seen a Ka-Bar Dog Groomer but then again I've never seen a Case 6245 DG either and they made 3 different variations in Tested and 1 in XX. Either way I like the knife and It will good with my other Groomers just looking for opinions or knowledge yall may have on this.

Just like mine Dimitri and a fine example. I didn't know they existed either Outkast, but I like it. I've never seen one of the Case Dog Groomers either, but sure would like to.

For those interested to see Case XX dog groomers (06245 DG) here is a link to pictures of a Case stamped knife and a Factory Order (Stevens).

Only thing wrong for me is Parkers guide says Tested variations were Dog Groomer-Spear, Dog Groomer-Clip, and Double Dog Groomer. It's not specific on the XX version but I would think it to be Double Dog Groomer and the one pictured isn't. However again as we all know only people who really know what left the factories were the ones assembling them.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.
