Re: Starting Over
Larry another awesome old Case knife!! It also looks like a "pictured" knife from Sargent's 7th edition. It's unusual (in my experience) to see the spear blade be the main blade when there is also a large clip blade. Beautiful addition to you 94 stable.

Re: Starting Over
Starting over is a hard thing to do.When I sold my collection in February, I was at a lost on what to do. I knew I wanted to keep collecting but I didn't know what to collect. I settled on Case Greenbone knives. I research what was the best and rarest Greenbone knives to collect, I found the one of hardest Case Greenbone to find was the Tested XX 6380 Whittler. I only knew of 2 of them to exist , one was in North Georgia, the other in Florida, neither was for sale. When I was getting ready to go to the Blade Show I received a call from the owner of one of the Whittlers that it was for sale. I jumped at the chance to buy it. The knife was the center of my collection. Then I went to the Lexington Knife show and lo and behold there was another Tested 6380 that nobody' knew about, and with help of Tony Foster, we got the knife. Okay that make 2 of the rarest Case Greenbone that I know of. After Lexington I found the 3nd and last Tested 6380 ( that I knew to exist ) was for sale in Florida and make the deal for it. Wow what an adventure, for years I couldn't find even one of these rare knives, now I own all three known to exist. Below is a picture of the 3 knives.

Re: Starting Over
Those are great! Glad you got #3
Re: Starting Over
That's crazy you have 3 of them. That's awsome Larry. That's a great feeling to own a ultra rare knife.
Re: Starting Over
Keep up the good work my friend.
You're building a better collection than the one you parted with.
I'm amazed.
