Hey there Arnold,

I believe that should be a 1977 Slick Black Composition (2)...single blade (1)...pattern #051... Lockblade (L)...with stainless blade and polished edge (SSP).

Some more information is available near the top of the page under the RESEARCH heading.

Hope that helps a bit.

Bill

In 1976 Case introduced the 051 series as their line of smaller lockback knives. They were actually made on contract by Alcas, as was the P197 Shark's Tooth.

The first models were the 21051LSSP (smooth black handle), 61051LSSP (jigged pakkawood handle) and M1051LSSP (monel? handle).

Some of these models were in production until maybe the mid 90's.

Well according to the news and the traffic in B.R. we have about 25,000 new residents here ::disgust:: Including the other 4 parishes around B.R. they estimate 40,000 total so we are getting crowded ::smirk:: Damage was minimal compared to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, New Orleans, and Lake Charles areas :wink: Things are better with most everything now it takes time to adjust to new environments and people ::tu:: Hope and pray that everything is going good for you in Waveland, Miss. ::tu:: Take care tobyrodgers 8)
