I fell in love with that White Hunter in about 1960, shortly after they first came out. It took me 40 years to fulfill my dream of owning one. I agree with you Colonel. They are fine looking knives.

Thanks Joe and my thanks to Philco for the Buck 103. It makes my eyes happy.

I looked up the smooth white Case XX knife that I pictured on this thread in Steve Pfeiffer's book. The knife has no pattern number on it, but I found it in the Case book anyway and Steve had some interesting info on it. It's a 4231 1/2 pattern, 3 3/4 inches long, not listed in any old Case catalogs so it was probably a special order. It's rare but there are a few of them out there usually with advertising stamped into the scales. The scales are some sort of composition with almost a paper micarda look. It has a fine grain running the length of each scale but not as defined as French ivory. It appears I did OK paying $29 for it. If you have any interest in Case knives, and I haven't seen many knife collectors who don't, Steve Pfeiffer's book "Collecting Case Knives" is a resource you absolutely need to own. ___Dave

Very Nice! Dave I want to go traveling around with you. You always run up on the best deals! Way to go

Colonel, That might be a little boring for the most part. I usually stumble onto things by pure dumb luck. The shop I found these knives in has been a good one for me though. Last fall we were traveling through there and I found a pile of knives including the old Schrade Farmers jack I put on "knife find of the Day" that I paid around $10 for. If the shop wasn't a couple hours away I'd stop there more often. All the good shops around here are gone and it's too cold for flea markets and outdoor shows so this time of the year I should be following you around. ___Dave

Another practitioner of the "pure dumb luck" method of living life (and knife collecting!) Quick and crappy photo of a Buck 110 Four Dot with etched blade found in a pawnshop yesterday. OH

Colonel, for years I've said, "I'd rather be lucky than good." Congratulations on your find.

Colonel26 · Post by **Colonel26** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 8:23 pm

Nice haul Scott. That razor looks to be in decent shape too.

Another Knife Collector · Thu Dec 17, 2015 8:44 pm

Great haul Scott! I like the looks of that old scout!

TripleF · Post by **TripleF** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 9:33 pm

Thanks fellas!!

Colonel26 · Post by **Colonel26** » Thu Dec 17, 2015 10:57 pm

It looks like there might be a well used Case 63047 there too, or have my eyes deceived me? It happens a lot.

Great pick up Scott thats the way I like to find'em

lots of satisfaction in restoring knives like those

Another nice score and pile Scott - man you are racking up the points for that Knife Hunter of the Year award

... We can setup an award dinner for you in Fla, and we can all attend to present it in person of course - probably around mid-February when we are all abit tired of the cold and snow

...

Is the knife at the bottom of photo a MOP Melon Tester?? and can you read the maker stamp? Intriguing knife and curious who made it too....

Lee

TripleF · Post by **TripleF** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 7:56 am

Thanks fellas...

Both of the CASE knives are 6318's Wade.

Lee - I am still gunning for the award!! February would be perfect for the award dinner & presentation!! Usually we have temps I like in February, but not looking good this winter

It is a Sabre Japan, but I don't believe it's real MOP

TripleF · Post by **TripleF** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 6:05 pm

Scored these today.....I think the CASE knife was broken and put back together..

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 6:27 pm

Scott, you are surely on a roll! Took a much improved picture of my new Buck 110 Canada Goose today. OH

TripleF · Post by **TripleF** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 7:18 pm

Bruce, that is an EPIC knife pal!!

Dinadan · Post by **Dinadan** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 11:08 pm

Nice 110, OH!

Scott - very interesting stuff you have there. You must check out a lot of estate and yard sales!

djknife13 · Post by **djknife13** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 12:24 am

Scott, which one is the Case, and is the hawkbill a fixed blade and does it have a maker stamp? Boy you've been busy lately.___Dave
