Picked this little guy up at an auction last night. Case 61024 1/2 XX era, clean little knife. Anyone care to supply me with a little info on it? I've only seen this one and one other.

Looks to me like a XX red bone budding knife. I had one some time back great little knife, yours looks real nice. Good find!

hey muskrat man, nice knife! i used to have one just like it except with yellow handles and it wasnt in quite as good of shape as yours. i traded it to my father in law and he loves it. i have one like it in red bone also but mine is a 65-69 pattern and a 62024 1/2, same pattern but with two blades. i just call them jack knives but not sure if thats the proper name. anyway, they are one of my favorite patterns and if mine wasnt in as good of condition as it is in, i would be carrying it.
yours was made 1940-64 and books in the pocket knife traders price guide for 175.00 in red bone or 90.00 in bone.
