Question on a 6220 case peanut
I got a 6220 '40 - '64 red bone peanut the other day , did they put a sheep foot blade on some of them for the main blade. Thanks

Re: Question on a 6220 case peanut
All I can remember seeing is a clip master with a pen secondary. I believe some of the really early peanuts (pre-1920) might have used a spear master.
I shouldn't comment on patterns that I don't collect because I'm often wrong. I'm also a slow learner
If someone comes along and contradicts me, they're probably right and I'm wrong.
A picture (if you have one) would be helpful to evaluate.

I'm not a Case guy but you don't have to be to see that blade has been reprofiled. Close the blade and notice how far from the end of the blade well the point of the blade comes. Blade is way short.
Edit: looks like the pen blade has been reprofiled too.
Being a Wharncliffe, Sheepcliffe, Sheepfoot kind of guy, I will say they should have made one like that. I like it like that.

Delmar, can you tell if the handle material is pocket worn bone or Delrin? If Delrin I would think someone put the knife together using parts on hand. OH

Re: Question on a 6220 case peanut
It's bone. Got a hair line fracture across one of the pins . It looks pocket worn and it still got lint in it, plus the main blade is a little weaker than the pen blade. Do you think the main blade broke and they just fixed it that way. I remember my dad re filed a point on a '40 -'64 barlow which I still have. Oh well I bought it and this case tested advertisement knife .
