Elephant Toe

[Dave O]

I spoke with an aquaintance today, and he told me a story of his father buying a XX Elephant Toe with Bone, and he paid two dollars for it. It has the tang stamp that indicated it was made in 1910 according to him. I do not know much about Case knives. He is going to let me photograph it supposedly on Tuesday. If this happens I will post photos here. The knife is for sale he said. He has been offered quite a lot for it already. I told him he should expose it to this forum.

Here's probable a dumb question, but what's the difference between an Elephant Toe Knife and a Sunfish Knife? Or is it the same type of knife with two different names?

Thanks in advance

One in the same leo.....................

Sunfish is the politically correct name for an Elephant Toe.

Would love to see some pictures Dave. Please try to get some close ups on the tang stamp.

I will call him tomorrow if he does not come in voluntarily!!!
