Case coke knife found

[Setterman]

I found an old case coke knife it seems to be in excellent shape. I'm just wondering about possible year and what it's worth. I've got a ton of old case and Gerber knifes recently and I really don't know much about them. Also does anyone know what these knives where meant to be used for. Thanks

Here is a link to an eBay auction for a 1940 - 1964 Case XX C61050 like your knife. The eBay knife appears to be in better condition than your knife and has a better color. The eBay knife auctioned for $338. Your knife would not fetch that much - in my opinion. My opinion is that the C61050 was meant to be a hunting knife due to its large size.

Thanks for the reply it needs a good cleaning. I have a bunch of other knives I just worry posting things on eBay and getting ripped off.

If you found that knife, you might as well have found $150.00 on the sidewalk. That's incredible. I have one of those but it's not as old as yours.

I think I might post up some pictures of the full collection tonight. I'm sure you guys would be able to spot things bette than I would m. I will confess I found a Berber silver knight in all stainless with the Japanese blade and I couldn't help but carry it. Such a beautiful well made little sticker.
