I just picked these two up at the Harrisonburg show for a price I couldn't refuse. 1974 6111 1/2L and an XX 6217 loom fixer.

Got a question, do you think the XX 6217 is bone or red bone? Both are unsharpened but the loom fixer does have a little spider web on the back of the main blade, no biggie though. Thanks for your thoughts!

hey redrider, I think the answer is, It depends on wether you are buying or selling... :) ::shrug::

Rider, that is pretty interesting - all the mid-1970's era Case Loom Fixers I have seen (and the one I own) have wood handles. Yours is the first with bone that I have seen. Nice knives! OH

Even though I only have one (KA-BAR) I'm rather partial to Loom Fixers (also known as Half-Hawks) and that is a very nice one. Congratulations.

Here's one from 1975. He says the handles are jigged Staminawood.

I can't make out the tang stamp on your 6217 but I think it's a XX era 40-65 and it's red bone.

Got it from a guy in Oklahoma. I have been looking for a First Model Red Stag 5254 for a long time when I found this one. I saw another one at the Dalton, Ga. Show

wazu,

Yep, XX 1940-64 tang stamp. My reference books say bone or red bone, always a tricky call for me. The snap in those blades is amazing. Thanks! ::tu::


jlw257,

That red stag is sweet. ::nod::

The Internet has been out at my place for the last 10 days, so I brought the ol' Kindle to Panera. Been dying to post some pictures of my newest Case auction pick-ups. Got a Case 6383 from 1978, a 6380 from 1985, an XX pearl pen knife, a HAWG (as Mr. Blister would say) of a display knife from 1990 and a Case Bradford, PA 6294 Big Cigar jack. From the auction pictures I could tell the cigar had been cleaned and profiled but thought for sure it was a LP XX, maybe in red bone. Well, turns out to be some pretty sweet green bone. It does have a hairline pin crack on the left mark side handle but I really love this knife. ::ds::
