Newest Case Pick-Ups

[Jdub]

Thanks!

Jdub,
Let me echo what Chris said, "plumb gorgeous"! That's a real knife, the 2 apparent different shades of the handle colors is always interesting, made when a knife was still seen as a tool.

Here's a little lobster I just got.
Thanks for looking.

That's a beauty Joe - excellent color in the pearl! I have a few pearls in my Sunday-go-to-meeting rotation. I had my eye one like it on eBay recently but didn't bid. If that's it, I'm glad you got it.

Thank you, Ken.
I really like these elegant little pearls. They must have tested a cutlers skills.

Thank you, I appreciate that. The back handle is considerably darker than the front. I suppose back when it was made the collectibility of these knives wasn't even a thought.

This 1977 Delrin 6231 1/2 arrived in the mail today.

[QTCut5]

Just another 6207 to add to the pile...but, this one has the somewhat rare barn shield.

[Oldredbone67]

Picked up this #63052, 1987, with the shield I like. A very nice red bone handle. I have never seen the pattern whittler and , well you know the rest, I just had to have it.

Check out the link for a thread on these.

[QTCut5]

Thanks, Steve...I remembered reading that thread awhile ago as that was the first time I had ever seen the barn shield (which is apparently a special shield made exclusively for Tractor Supply Company). I don't usually buy knives just for the shield, but when I saw it on an 07 pattern, I had to get one. That shield may be more common back east, but I still consider it "somewhat rare" since I don't see too many for sale on eBay, and there are no TSC outlets in HI (at least none that I'm aware of).

You guys never cease to amaze me.

[garddogg56]

It's still a cool knife Q-man

[QTCut5]

Thamks, gdogg. It looks as though the people who got them at TSC for closeout prices are now flipping them on eBay as they suddenly seem to be everywhere. I still like it even though the barn shield is not "somewhat rare" as I once thought. And, you'll never hear me complain about getting a brand new Case 07 for $21, even if the seller made 100% profit on the flip. At least it's not like the outrageous markup prices I routinely see on Northwoods and some of the new GEC releases.

Here's my most recent Case acquisition: 2005 Sky Blue Wharncliffe Mini Trapper 6207W with the (not entirely uncommon) diamond shield. Paid a bit more for this one ($41), but still a very reasonable price for Case quality.

Tested 6161L/6383

Looking for some near mint/mint 75LP's if anyone has any

Q, that one has a decidedly Hawaiian flare to it with the ocean blue handles

[Ivoryman]

The leverlock is a beauty Tested XX, wow, looks to be mint too. Hope the laws in your state don't make you break the law with that beauty. I'd carry it anyway, very cool.

[QTCut5]

Just snagged this 1997 single blade bare head olive green bone mini trapper to add to my bottomless (topless??) 07 pile.

~Q~

[Ivoryman]

I like the bare head there Q, don't see that too often. Good looking bone too. NIce score. Congrats.

That's the CCC Jr. version, right?

My goodness, I actually beat The Great Q to an 07???

Absolutely love what Case has been doing with their olive green. Short of the 70s "red bone"/chestnut of today, I'd have to say the newer olive green bone is probably my favorite color Case. I've got a short run half-Congress somewhere in the same pants and it's one of my favorite knives, full stop.

"The Great Q" ?? Who is this "Great Q" of whom you speak? I would surely like to meet him.

Regarding the olive green 07...(007, actually...according to the tang stamp), the 'financially undisciplined and fiscally irresponsible Q' had to wait to get it until I had sufficient coinage in my habitually overdrawn and chronically depleted knife budget.

Still wondering if anyone can explain the extra "0" in the pattern number. It's gotta signify something...bare head, perhaps?

~Q~

[jerryd6818]

Well thanks to "The Great "~Q~", I just ended up with one of the Tractor Supply 07s. Something a little funky about the tip of the main blade but I measured the blade and it's not short. Somehow, someone has slightly reprofiled the tip.
Condition, though not perfect, is decent and the price was right so I decided to keep it anyway.

[QTCut5]

Maybe you got an ultra rare tanto blade version, jerryd.

~Q~

[steve99f]

Q

I'll bet you the extra 0 denotes the bareheaded frame. Great looking variant!

[steve99f]

Checked my TSC mini. The tip isn't as up-swept as yours. Kind of odd if the blade length is correct.

Could just be an imperfection from grinding. I've gotten a few Case knives where blade was correct but the belly near the tip was well out of whack.

That being aid, none of my 07s come anywhere close to that stark of an angle on the tip.
