Newest Case Pick-Ups

Agreed Tom. Good pickup Bill.

Was never a Trapper man until I traded for an old XX and started carrying it. Great blades, get real sharp and hold an edge.

Thanks Jerry & Tom, I agree about the Blades,I have several good older ones similar to this one,They get razor sharp! Bill

Almost found a real prize at the flea market, a XX 6445R. It looked real good but there was something strange about the spear. The other 3 blades, actually tools, show no evidence of use. The bone is perfect as is the bail, not lopsided, but there is evidence in my opinion that this one must have tried to skin a hot wire. There is evidence on the spine of the blade and on the front bolster of an electrical arc doing some damage. Following this track, we could account for the shortened, narrowed spear blade, I think. The blade was probably salvaged by removing a burned spot on the blade by narrowing it and also shortening it.
It is still a fine old knife, at least 54 years old and would make a great EDC for some one who likes this style of knife.

As found at the flea market.

Pock mark on front bolster probably result of an electrical arc.

Reshaped spear, notice the arc marks on the spine of the blade and on the bolster

All cleaned up, looks good for a used XX era knife.

That's some fine looking red bone on that one Phillip.

Picked up these (3) Red Bone,Case Stockmans, over the last few weeks --(1) _ 65'/69',63047 -- (2) _ 72' 6318 -- (3) _ 65'/69',6347

[Steve Warden]

All three are beauties, to be sure, Monk, but those 47s...! Hoo-dawgy!!

[gsmith7158]

An old one and a new one!
First is a tested era 6172 with the pattern # and 3pin handles which should indicate that it was fairly early in the tested era. It also sports the bowtie sheild.
And second ,I just can't get enough of these, an Antique bone tribal lock.

[XxTestedxX]

A few I have got in the last few months

The rough black was a buy back

Totally out of order, hope you enjoy the pics

Good looking clasp! I like the tribal lock to

[Ivoryman]

Wow gsmith, that Tested era is beautiful. They don't make bones like that anywhere anymore. Fabulous. XxTestedXx, knocking it out of the park on multiple hits there. Love the old green and Rogers bones on the oldies. Both of you rocked it today.

Greg and Zach. WOW, very nice

Greg, like the old Greenbone on your knife

[RalphAlsip]

Greg and Zach, piling on to previous comments - beautiful old knives.

[gsmith7158]

Jerry, Larry, Zach, Iman thank you! I really love that early jigged greenbone on this one.

[TwoFlowersLuggage]

I didn't have a Russlock...

Sooooo.....can you OHO it?

[TwoFlowersLuggage]

Sooooo.....can you OHO it?

~Q~

Funny you should ask - I have been playing with it, and after about 20 tries I did manage to OHO it. I can now do it maybe 1 out of 3 tries. I have fairly large hands (XL work gloves) and I think that helps a little. I just powered it open with my thumb using heavy, slow pressure and a careful hold on the handle in my palm. It is not fast nor does it feel natural. It is a fairly scary thing to do and it is not something I would do in normal every day use.

Was able to pick this 65 up.

[jlw257]

Jdub, very nice 65 with wonderful Greenbone, like the Bomb shield too

Thanks, wish the blade didn’t have the pitting. It’s very shallow and could probably be cleaned,and got out... but I’m not gonna do that. The handles are great and the shield is nice.

[treefarmer]

Jdub, Amen to Larry's comment. That is a fine ol' knife no matter if does have pits.
