Blade Grind
Has anyone seen this type of blade grind on anything other than Case or this knife? It looks like Case new grind,but doesn`t show very well in my pictures. Bill

Re: Blade Grind
cbfd,
I picked up a trapper with the same grind several years ago. It does resemble the Case new grind. I think mine was $6 in an antique shop. Kinda' neat, I think some comment was made here on AAPK about it when I posted a picture of the Imperial. If I remember, the DE is supposed to stand for diamond edge. I believe the tang stamps indicated 1956-88.

Re: Blade Grind
If I recall correctly Gerber used that grind on their Folding Sportsman series.Here are a couple of pics of a Gerber Skookum.Notice how tightly the blades fit together.
