She's a beauty. Roger 50/2050, got mine. Plain blade, 1 of 10. Apparently, not much of this material was used. Most people don't know that Manatee ivory, is a penile bone, like oosic.

Ah come on Bill, shes in a good home & very happy along side her brothers & sisters now! ....Knifer friends, if it wasn't for the friends I have in the hobby like CC Bill & others, I would not have the herd of Elephant Toes I have today & that is pure fact!!!

Hey CC & Roger - I have a strange one to add to your Steller's scales pictures... Here's a picture of my 1 of 1 3091 with Steller's Sea Cow Ivory on the back - and Mastodon Ivory on the front!?!? Lord only knows why they handled it that way - but here it is in all it's beauty (??)

Thanks Roger & Chris - You guys have the true beauties - those ET's are really nice...
As long as this is a Classic "picture" thread I'll post one more 1 of 1.. (Holiday Special!).... I don't think I've posted this on AAPK... This is among my most rare Classic's - a true prototype 375 pattern that never made it into the Classic program due to time constraints.. Not just a different blade arrangement, shield type, or scale material - the 'pattern' itself was never produced except for these 1 of 1 hand made samples.. (per Jim anyway...) I've never seen another 375 other than the seven 1 of 1's on page 116 of the "Long Haul" book... (All having Zipper etches and shields) This one has Blue Velvet celluloid scales..
Hope you are all enjoying a great Memorial Day Weekend...

Gary

Hey Gary, I remember giving you a run for your money on this one, yes Sir, I'M sure of it! In any case I'M glad you got it & you are so right, this 375 pattern was never produced for the Case Classic program! ....Hoping every knifer here will enjoy this great Memorial Day Weekend!!!
