Case Club Knife and Colonel Coon

[onemorecast]

I am curious about any potential connection between this Case two bladed hunter and the etching with what appears to be a double C stamp. Was Adrian Harris involved in the etching process for these Case club knives?

Also I know Case had some different approaches to their club knives in the early to mid eighties. Other than the obvious re-handle from bone to stag, I’m trying to understand the pattern number versus the scales.

Thank you

The c within a C stamp was used by Case in the late 1970s-early-1980s to denote blades used in "Case club" knives. Not THE Case club, but rather special factory order (SFO) knives made by Case for various clubs. The pattern number stamp for handle cover material may or may not match the covers on the knife. They did this (c within a C) stamp so they didn't have to make numerous small runs of blades stamped for the various clubs for which they produced limited numbers of knives (numerous small runs). Thus you will find knives with that stamp on which the covers don't match the stamp.

It's very likely those are the original covers, not a re-handle. The stamp doesn't have any relation to Adrian Harris or Colonel Coon.

Here's another similar post and explanation, for a different but related outcome of using the stamp. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... 96#p973496
