[Owd Wullie]

anyone who doesn't lve stag like that is crazy

how about a cross section picture so we can see how thick she is?

It isn't very thick at all. He had some big ol thick gnarly stuff but I liked the looks of the piece I picked the most.

I didn't want it much fatter than it already is due the fact that I'm carrying it. Been out of town a few days. I'll see what I can do when I get a chance. Usually dark by the time I get home.

Case marches on!! This is a wonderful thread, full of the oldies. I come back and review it often, just for the pleasure of seeing these nicely made knives again!
I found my picture of these; Tested 6235-1/2Ps.
3 1/4" greenbone Jacks, I can see them being both useful, and easy to carry.

The HJs in my previous post are obviously nice used knives, but this one is a nice UNUSED one!! A 6231-1/2 !

Charlie,

Three more nice old Case knives

Thanks for showing them, for a minute there I thought you had run out of Case knives

[upnorth]

I've got a few more knives, but I've run out of pictures Dimitri!!
In fact I was just scanning these two. And I've got some questions about them.
These are XX 62055s, one rough black, and one smooth black.
The nice thing about Case's "black" handles is, they rarely shrink, unlike some others. The Rough knife here seems to be a later knife. Note the common pull, and the pattern number on the tang.
The smooth one has a long pull, cut swedges, and no number. I think this makes it closer to the Tested era, but I don't know for sure. Anyone??

[Miller Bro's]

Charlie,

The Case slick black handles do seem to hold up well over time. I have never seen one go bad yet.

Acording to Sargent`s book they used slick black and rough black on tested era 55`s

They also used both nail pulls during that era on their knives.

Steve should know for sure, maybe he will stop in with an answer.

Charlie if you EVER want to part with any of those let me know first Great looking knives you got there buddy

[junebug]

Sweet Jack, Bighead!

[upnorth]

This knife is actually quite rare! It is a 2245B&G.
It was intended as a Budding and Grafting knife, and few survive, or were made, as far as I can tell.
Not exactly a "sexy" collectible knife, but I love it just the same !

[BIGHEAD]

Looks pretty darn SEXY TO ME

And were you talking about the single or double blade Jack?

[upnorth]

I thought the light was different on the second pic, and you closed the pen blade, and it was the perspective hiding the closed pen!! Duh!! Sorry.
Well I like the two blade more, but they are both nice ones!!
Tell me, is the single blade bone handled or delrin?

[BIGHEAD]

No problem Charlie I bought both of those at the same time.And I got a good price on the two of them prolly 40% less tahn if I would have bought them seperate
Both are bone with no flaws

Yeah the 22055 with long pull was early in the XX era. In fact I just got a mint one and it has long pull and the old closed C shield.

BTW, Charlie those Case harness jacks are 35 patterns not 31's.

Ahhh! I knew that!! I was just testing you to see if YOU knew!!

Actually I mix those two numbers up continuously!!
I will go back and correct them.

[BIGHEAD]

Sorry for the bad pictures indoors and didn't want to get the light box out

[upnorth]

Slick Black!!

Nice BigHead! Is that a 99?
