case knife pattern
case knife pattern
Is there a name for this pattern? Is it rare? I read that number as 85641 but a web search didn't show this knife. Any info greatly appreciated.

Re: case knife pattern
Looks like a pattern 8364SSSC, made between 1964-69. The pattern number, or an abbreviated version of it, should be stamped on the pile (back) side of a blade. Not a particularly rare knife, but appears you have a nice one. Many of these were given as gifts and never carried much or if they were they saw only light duty as a "Sunday knife".
Up there ^^ at the top of the page you'll find a header with the word "RESEARCH" in it. If you click on it you'll be led to a world of great information including how to identify Case pattern numbers and their meanings, how to determine dates of manufacture, and other tidbits. Here's what you'll find https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/page/research.php.
It will help you a lot. For example the second character in the Case pattern number is the number of blades. Therefore a Case knife having three blades cannot gave a pattern number with "5" as the second digit. Suffix "SS" is for stainless steel, "SC" is for scissors.

Re: case knife pattern
Yes, same pattern. Except the one for sale in the link you referenced is a XX version, whereas the OP knife is a U.S.A. version.TwoFlowersLuggage wrote:Isn't that an 8364 SCIS?
