Another old Case needs identifying

Post by treefarmer »

Can't pin this one down with any of my reference material. It is 3 1/4" closed. The tang stamp indicates the 1932-1940 era. What are these scales called? It must be a pattern that has been discontinued. Looks like the long pull main blade was probably a spear and the secondary is very short, both blades still have snap. Hope one of the Case experts can tell me what this old knife used to be!

It appears to be a 6230.

Yes Sir, I concur for whatever that is worth. Looks like an 06230 to me.

Great old knife! It looks like it has been worked on at least once through the years. That old bone is really appealing. I would definitely put it in my EDC rotation. In fact, it would be number 3 in my present two knife rotation.
