Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Well, let's put it this way - the total cost (including shipping) of all 4 of these was under $100. That's not very far above the muck layer...

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Well, I would say you did very well, then. But, that seems more like good bargain hunting than bottom feeding...those appear to be some pretty nice knives in decent condition.
Good score!

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
I hope you guys know that I'm only showing you the better end of my purchases. There are always some stinkers that come along with fishing in the depths. For example, I'm not showing you the Camillus #14 I bought last month for $10 that has zero snap on closing. I've done all my usual work trying to clean & oil the pivot, and it snaps ok on opening, but no joy on closing. I'm guessing the kick is worn or there is still too much muck in the pivot. The ebay ad, of course, never mentioned that little detail...

Is there any rise to the back spring when the blade is opened? Check the tang. Is it worn down with a flange left on the side of it?

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Found this one online described as mint, but at a great price. I figured their mint and my mint were two different descriptions.
It showed up with no flaws or issues; just needed a little oil in the pivot.
1979 NKCA
I actually like the pile side better than the mark side.

Somehow I neglected to log this in whenever I first received it. Was not aware that I had it until I discovered it last night. I like the bone on this Stockman.

Thanks John. Obviously an anniversary knife. But I still have absolutely no recollection of when I got it.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
I just assumed the CCC on the bolster stood for Case Collector's Club. Am I wrong.
I bought it because it's different and it has a Wharncliffe blade.
This was on the back of the tin sleeve.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
That's definitely a mystery you got there, jerryd. I'm fairly certain it's not a 2011 Case Collectors Club release, but the CCC on the bolster certainly is baffling as the CCC marking usually designates a Collectors Club knife.jerryd6818 wrote:I just assumed the CCC on the bolster stood for Case Collector's Club.

Based on the ad copy on the sleeve, I'm going out on a limb and suggesting that maybe it was intended to signify "Case Consumer Communities" since it's clearly a Case Tour knife. The number 30 following the CCC on the bolster could refer to the total number of communities visited / dealers' site stops made on the tour. But, that's just a wild guess because I can't think of anything that makes any more sense.
Might be time to call Case and ask for some clarification.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Finally finished up this quad set of chestnut stockmen with the find from knifeaholic's store of the 2 medium of current producton. The large is 1of 500 MM shield. The small is 1 of less than 400, it is the 6333R, a standard shield and bail with XX scroll work on bolsters. Dont usually go for the limited stuff because of the in your face of "NOT ment to be carried" banners and such on the blades but these are tastefully done without any banners and barely noticable number ingravings on blades. Just think only 18 years to put these together. Thats twice as much effort than i got out of my wives but a whole lot less errr... ahhh..."chirpping" in the back ground.
