Here is a Case XX USA 3rd model (1967-1969) Bulldog 5172 with honey / amber colored stag.

Q, thank you for the comment on the Bulldog. Your crew of 07's is very nice. The example 4th from the left is has super nice color and texture!

What's better than cabin fever? Stagmania!

These pictures are of a Case Tested XX 5171L switchblade. When the blade is closed pressing the lever springs the blade open. When open, the blade is locked open and the pressing the lever unlocks the blade so it can be closed. The 71 is the large variation at 5 3/8" closed. The Tested 5171's have a variety of marks that are used on the lower bolster including "Case's Tested XX" like this example has, plus "Case Tested XX" and the circle mark with "Case XX Tested" stamped inside the circle. I don't know the significance of the various bolster marks, but would guess they are an indicator of age. For example, I would expect the circle mark to be older because it was used in the Bradford era preceding Tested XX.

Thank you to all who made gracious comments on the pictures of the Case Tested XX 5171.

Thanks, just need some xx 2nd cut

[QTCut5]

Zach, how do you get the blades to stay open just a little bit? Do you put something underneath the blade inside the channel, perhaps?

Absolutely gorgeous stag...I especially like the orange-y red stag on the knife in the last photo. That color really pops.

Nice stag show.

[XxTestedxX]

Yes the blades are propped, both in the liners and outside for certain knives

Doesn’t hurt the knife!

Q, those are fantastic! He does some great work.

[Sasquach]

I haven't been able to find out much about this knife. The tang stamp reads Olivetto. Nice stag on it though.

Sasquach, the Ka-Bar canoe is beautiful! What time-frame does it originate from?
