Case Equestrian handles

[Horsehead]

First post, searched quite a bit before I found this forum. No real info on this pattern. I have bought my dad a few Case Equestrian knives as gifts and was looking to complete a collection for him. He has an amber bone he carries and one in box and a rosewood. I know they also made a red bone John Wayne commemorative, a yellow handle, and a handle with pictures of horses on it. Does anyone know of anymore handles to this pattern?

Hmm - that's certainly a niche area of the hobby! To be honest, you have already named a couple that I did not know about, so I'm afraid I won't be much help, except to say:

Welcome Horsehead! I'm a bit confused. Is your interest only in equestrian pattern knives, which typically include a hoof pick blade? Or does it extend to any knife with an equestrian theme, even those with out a hoof pick or mane trimming blade?

The reason I ask is that you mention John Wayne knives but I don't think I've seen a JW knife in an equestrian pattern, they are usually trappers. Also Case has made quite a few knives with horses on the handles (Tennessee Walking Horse, Paint, etc.) but again I don't recall any in the equestrian pattern.

Are you are looking only for Case equestrian pattern knives or any Case knife with a horse theme, regardless of the blade configuration?

Only the Case Equestrian pattern. He used and subsequently sharpened the first one extensively, to the point that we're about to replace the blade at the 10 year mark. But only that pattern because of his connection to it.

And yes, those are steep. That will probably be the centerpiece of the collection. Albeit the last to be purchased.

Here's some pics I kleped off the Case Collectors Club site. There are posts referencing several Equestrian knives dating back as far as 2007 but unfortunately those pictures were posted on photobucket and are no longer available. As I understand it, the bottom knife pictured was a limited edition "tour knife" available at Case promotion tour events only.
