Guy says its a new unsharpened knife ... I've NEVER seen a #47 with the sheepsfoot blade ground like this. I know we have some crack Case guys here that can substantiate or disprove this .... whats the general consensus - is this a factory grind ?? A sheepsfoot without the point seems pretty useless to me THanks -

Looks to me like the tip end of the sheepsfoot blade has been broken off. Most likely that's when the knife got put away in a drawer for decades.

To me, it was carried a few times, used, broke, then stuck in a drawer for years. The shape of the break looks just like something caused by prying.

Agree with what has been said, except I'm guessing the knife was used as a screw driver and the tip broke off.

What are we all doing up at this hour looking at sheepsfoot? Hate it when
knives are abused.

Yep - I think the consensus is spot on ... somebody re-ground that sheepsfoot tip. I think the picture with it closed & that regrind tip sitting far proud of the frame confirms this - Case would never sell a knife with a sharpened point above the frame.
