Re: Vintage CASE Folding Knives
Thanks. Have a pair of '65-69 6207's, love the bone in those years, construction, fit, finish, everything fine. Snaps like a monster. Two my top 10 for sure. Nothing not to like. Old knives improve lives.

To me Vintage Case Knives mean older than the 60s not this 70s or newer stuff.

Jerry I really like that tested 18. The 18 pattern Case was the first knife I started to collect. Never had a tested.

Re: Vintage CASE Folding Knives
Do my eyes deceive me or does that Jack have the little blade in front? That would make it ever so drool worthy!!!
Looking for the magic penny!

Re: Vintage CASE Folding Knives
WOW!
That's an amazing knife with the 3/4 designation and a 1/2 saber spear. And with the pen in the front.
There is no end to the learning with these knives. Is that knife somewhat rare?
Thanks.

Re: Vintage CASE Folding Knives
Joe l'm no expert on Case knives, but I would guess that knife is very rare.

Re: Vintage CASE Folding Knives
Awesome knives posted Gents!
As I said in the other thread, some real fine ones Tom!
Really like that TESTED 18 a lot Jerry. Fine example for sure.
I have one pattern TESTED 6366 that personally haven't seen another example although I am sure there are out there somewhere. They did make these long and in few variations, 3 total if I recall. Pen blade tang shape reminds me of early TESTED era but who knows.
Also, a TESTED 62044. Stamp is not deep but clear. She is a beautiful knife in my opinion. Not a very good pic but I provided this pic and was told it was used in Knife World OCT, 2013 issue but I don't subscribe. If someone happens to have the article and pic, I'd love to see it.
Regards All! Jerry

Great knife, Larry. It seems like you see more 91 tested stags than Greenbone although you rarely see either. I know the rare ones in great shape are the ones you like. Great find!!!!!
