My Grand Pa's and Dad's CASE Pocket Knives

Post by JBTrucker »

Happy Fathers Days to all wanted to share my Grand Pa's CASE XX 6229 !/2
1940 -1964 . He was gruff old guy but had a big heart came to live with us 1978 when my Grandmother passed away. Retired farmer very skilled with his hands , made is own walking canes and shoebox with step to shine shoes at barbershop. He was a master sharpener knives , hoes ,axes and shovels,
the Tad Pole still has razor sharp blades and snap . Next two was my Dads WWII and Korea Vet , married my mom after the wars and settled in Memphis 1950' worked at a Hardware Store till he retired 1990. The middle is CASE U.S.A ****** 6208 1970 - 79 well used blades still sharp but no snap cleaning and oil didn't do any good . The third is like new CASEXX xxSSxx USA 63087 1980 - 89 don't know if he purchased it or a gift. There was a couple of Uncle Henrys I gave to my cousin

That’s awesome!!
My dad or grandpa never carried or owned any sort of knife other than a utility knife. 🤔
