Hey Barhydt;
If its a ten dot 1980 it could be a cheetah without swing guard, nine dot 81
???? supposedly thet quit making from 1980 til early 2000s . This is all jmo
also it might be a pattern 11.

PS if you will keep your pics down to web 640x? they will fit better.
the old pattern was a swell center regular jack, the new was cheetah.

someone has crudely stuck a Case blade from another pattern into an older 6111-1/2L frame....the older 6111-1/2L was never made in stainless and the blade shape and grind are wrong. Does that blade have a pattern # on back?

[barhydt]

No there is no pattern number Just the Case XX and TEN dots with the lightning SS USA Do you think this might be a 1980 Cheeta withot the swing gaurd?

I agree with knifeaholic...I don't believe you should see that much of the "Run Up" area of the knife, above board, as it were. If it was missing the guard, there would be a hole, where it was mounted, in the tang.
The handle/scales look legit...as does the blade...just not together. It looks like a parts knife to me.

maybe its a new pattern called the "crippled cheetah" lol, just kidding pal, looks like a 6111 1/2L cheetah that needs work.

[knifeaholic]

the lightning S 10 dot 6111-1/2L was NOT made in stainless, and DID have a saber ground blade. That blade is completely wrong.

Is this knife worth anything like it is?
