Hey all, i dont really say much but im always reading each day on this site and ive learned a ton and willing to learn more. I have had quite a bit luch when it comes to finding out values, info, history etc of different knives but i have 5 knives ( all same collection) that i cannot find out anything about....is it bc they are rare? Were they only made for a short run and then removed? Or am i just looking everywhere but the right place? Those 5 knives are part of the Case Silver script abalone handled set and they are as follows:
- Grand daddy Barlow 8143
- Cheetah 8111/2
- Seahorse whittler 8355WH
- Canoe 82131
- 3 blade Sowbelly T.B.8339
If any of you would be able to give me some info , as far as year made, how many were made, value of each or just point me in the right direction, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Case Silver Script Abalone pearl Handled
Nice set of Case Knives; dates are on the tang stamps - the Canoe is 2000, the Whittler 2002, the others are 2001. I don't collect sets but Case or the Case Collectors Club could give you more information. A few folks here may have some more info as well. Abalone is beautiful but expensive and delicate handle material - each one unique. OH

Hi OH, thanks a bunch andi appreciate your response. It jusr seems odd to me that i cant fine any values or information about these specific ones. I can find MOP and corleon everywhere and i can fins the other abalone handled knives but i just cant find the kind with the silver script inlay likw these 5. Again, thank you a bunch!
