What is the name of this Case jigging style?

Post by Gumshoe »

I just purchased a Case 62109X New Grind (1984) and I don't know what to call the jigging style.

My scanner is broken, or I would attach a photo. However, it's like the jigging found on page 70 of Pfeiffer's 2nd Edition only it is pretty bone - not stag. Sort of like rough parallel wavy lines.

Does this style of Case 1980's jigging have a name? Right now I am calling it "Bone with 1980's era "jigged stag" pattern handles.

Thank you - Gumshoe

Case did not have any names for their jigging styles in the 80's. I don't think they started with factory-specific named jig patterns until after 2000.

Thank you, knifeaholic

I found a very similar pattern at the Case website and it is called Platt's. My 109X New Grind has fewer rows of jigging and the peaks and valleys are more significant. However, it is close enough. I had never seen jigging like this before.
