Extremely Rare or Extremely Unliked?

[SwiftyMcJ]

Spent a whole night searching sites about this knife and it
Seems like a set lost in space.. From what I did find this is the first of 9 pieces in an American Wildlife collection. I do see a couple for sale on another site but I can't find anything else about it like origin or even a mention on the case site or here.

The stamp is 059L SS

Can someone please shed some light on this mystery?

Thanks

Can you take a picture of the tang stamp on the other front side of the knife?

Swifty that's unlike any Case I have ever seen. The pattern 059 L is a small lock back with black zytel handles. Some o the older ones had pakkawood handles but they don't even resemble that knife. Does the front tang have the case date stamp?

I used to have a handful of this pattern in the form you describe ("mini blackhorn" if I recall correctly) from a clearance sale, and indeed find the blade shape in the OP knife familiar. If you search/Google "059 L Case", you'll find photos of metal handled knives that appear to match this one. I'm certainly no expert though.

The logo dates 1990-93 but the date is hard to read. Think it says 92 though. This is the only one I have atm, but I'll get a better one for you tomorrow.

Yea it seems theres a NASCAR series with the same style. Also a confederate one as well.

Swifty here is some info I found on Worthpoint about this series.
By the way Welcome to AAPK. I don't collect the newer Case's so that was afirst for me but it is a bonafide Case.

Yea that's where I got what I know from lol
Heres another I found. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.vi ... 31&alt=web

And that's about it..

I'm wondering why case wouldn't mention this series at all? From the photos I've seen they are nice.

[gsmith7158]

For some reason Case doesn't leave a lot of info about production numbers and different series for posterity

I sent them an email inquiring about it. Just waiting for the reply.
I'll keep this post updated.
