All About Pocket Knives

Tom,

A couple of great ones Tom!

Thanks Ken, Roger, and Greg.
Sometimes good things come in small packages

Tom

Here are a couple of recent pickups.

Case Bradford rogers bone medium coke 6237 1/2 1915-20 3 1/2" closed

W R Case & Sons Bone Congress 6288 1905-15 4 1/8" closed

I believe the 6288 to be pretty rare as it is the only 2 blade large congress I have seen from this era

Thanks for looking

Tom

Wow Tom! Two more fantastic knives.

Good hunting Tom.

Nice additions Tom!

Thanks Greg, Roger, Larry, and Ken. It seems they are harder to find these days. Glad I have the ones I have.

Tom

Tom, another couple of fine adds to your old Case collection. The bone on the 6237 1/2 is quite attractive.

Here are pictures of W.R. Case & Sons 6294J LP 4 1/4" closed with Rogers Bone handles, blank shield, and flat grooved bolsters.

Jerry, Fantastic Knife, never seen one before

Fantastic knife in beautiful condition Jerry!

Wonderful Jerry! That's a rare one.

Ken

Thank you everyone for the gracious comments on the WR Case & Sons 6294J.

Below are pictures of another old 94 and one of my favorite knives - old or new. This one is a 6394 also marked WR Case & Sons Bradford Pa. It has red Winterbottom handles, fIat grooved bolsters and all blades are swedged with long pulls. The frame of this 6394 shares some characteristics with the previously posted 6294J.

You will notice the width of the main spear blade from the blade edge to the spine is of this knife is narrow and the blade sits low in the blade well. There is no blade loss. The knife was made this way because the sheepsfoot also has its nail nick facing toward the front of the knife so the primary blade is lowered to accommodate opening the sheepsfoot. All of the Tested XX 3 blade 94 patterns I've seen have the secondary nail nicks on back (pile) side of the knife. I've seen Bradford 3 blade 94 knives made both ways. All of the 3 blade gunboat (94X) variation knives I have seen (not many) have the secondary nail nicks on the back (pile) side.

Thanks for looking.

Jerry, thanks for showing these beautiful knives, I always learning something new with your description of them

Those 94s are stunning Jerry!
