Ode To The 07
Re: Ode To The 07
Persistence mainly...I spend a lot of time looking at knives nearly every day (way too much time really). Sometimes my saved searches will come up with knives that interest me but many of the less-common wharncliffe knives I just happen to stumble across by pure luck or by clicking on "seller's other items" or the knives eBay suggests ("people who looked at this knife also looked at"). Also, friends, other collectors & AAPK members who know of my preference for wharncliffes will often send links to knives they've found that they think I might be interested in; that's always appreciated.

Re: Ode To The 07
Hey Q - I have the same American flag shield red 6107 - mine has the "W" designation. Peculiar yours doesn't - maybe it's even more collectible as it appears to be an anomaly ...QTCut5 wrote:Got it! Interesting thing about this one...notice that the pattern number does not have a 'W' to denote the Wharncliffe blade. I've never seen a Case knife with a Wharncliffe blade that did not have either a 'W' or 'WH' in the pattern number. I wonder why this one doesn't? Very strange.

Re: Ode To The 07
Now that really boggles my mind. I was thinking that perhaps a whole run of 07 wharncliffe blades from 2002 got mis-stamped because it seems highly unlikely that just one single blade got the wrong stamp. But, since yours is the same year as mine and has the 'W', I can't figure out why mine is missing the 'W'...unless mine somehow got mixed in with some other 07 secondary (spay) blades during the tang stamping, although if that were the case, then it would have a 207 stamp not the 107. A very strange mystery, indeed.Lansky1 wrote:Hey Q - I have the same American flag shield red 6107 - mine has the "W" designation.

Re: Ode To The 07
Couple more 07s recently added to my never-ending pile. Normally, I only collect 07Ws, not the spay blade version. But, seeing as how this IV207 has somewhat rare "exotic" handle material, I decided to make an exception.

I've shown these a couple of other places but they belong here as well. Both were birthday gifts and I am thrilled to death with them.

Re: Ode To The 07
Yes, indeed, nice mini Ts, jerryd. I especially like the marine corps emblem stamped on the bolster of your blue 07. I'm not usually a big fan of extra cosmetic embellishment, but that's a nice touch; very classy.jerryd6818 wrote:I've shown these a couple of other places but they belong here as well.

Thank you ~Q~. The nice part of it is it's stamped and not etched. Fairly deeply stamped at that. That was a pleasant surprise.QTCut5 wrote:Yes, indeed, nice mini Ts, jerryd.

Glass houses, jerryd...I'm just the same as you...I carry one knife (Kershaw Chill) and never change my EDC...I even have a brand new Chill still in the hard plastic clamshell for when my current EDC Chill eventually wears out. I'm about as cantankerous a curmudgeon as they come, my friend. "Pocket worn" is what my 35 year old jeans are that I still wear every day.jerryd6818 wrote:Go ahead ~Q~, cry me a river.

Re: Ode To The 07
Thanks ~Q~. It's on my watch list. Probably not though because it's a single blade and I'm more of a two blade guy and I don't see me paying big bucks (to me) for a single blade. Good looking knife though.

Re: Ode To The 07
Fine looking Orvis/Case got "JerryD" written all over it!
Got a few variation of the 07 pattern - the jackknife has some pocket time but I'm not much of a Trapper fan. What I do like the most about the modern Case 6207 is the Clip main blade - to me it is the best looking Clip on any medium size pocketknife. OH
