Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
Wayne that’s a stunning collection of older Case’s. I agree it is hard to pick a favorite but that stag 5392 would have to be my pick of the litter.

Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
Thanks for all the compliments on the Case knives I posted.
Gary that Sportman's set is the grail of Case fixed blades. I've only seen a few in many years of collecting.
Keith no way to upgrade on the two you posted.

Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
The _294X pattern is rare knife in my experience. It is 4 1/4 closed. I have seen them marked Case Bros Springville, W.R. Case & Sons, and Tested XX. This is a W.R. Case & Sons 5294X with the pattern number marked. It has the raised letter oval shield which seems to be a rare shield to me. The slim design of the frame and smooth bolster-to-bolster line of the main blade as seen from the front are appealing characteristics of this pattern to me.
Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
Jerry, that has to be one of the rarest Case knives and yours is a beauty
