Ken,
the candy stripe was Shepherd Hills SFO produced in 2004, I believe the tortoise shell was Smoky Mountain however I am still researching that one

Thanks, just curious since I know some of those with celluloid covers were made when the Case Classics were made. I think those had a 050 pattern number instead of 50. The Case Classics were a little bigger knives, (hence the 0 in the pattern numbers). Nice looking Toes. If you can post pictures of the blade markings I might be able to help you with your research.

Be careful.
In the picture it appears the candy stripe might be starting to outgas.
Slight discoloring at the bolster edges and shield.
Better picture might tell a different story.

That was for Roger, a Elephant Toe nut !!!
He was from Texas and always started his posts Well Howdy Boys !!!
You might want to look up some of his posts as he was the biggest fan of "Toes" I ever met
RIP Roger, always remembered by your AAPK buddies !!!

Thanks for the tip, I have attached two better pictures showing the handle,
I do keep the handles and bolsters coated with Renaissance Wax to try to preserve the knife.

Could have possibly been poor lighting in the original picture
