The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Here it is
6345 LP w/imitation handles.
I've seen the 6345 1/2 with the LP, never the spear w/immitation handles. To add, the handles have zero shrinkage. The knife is prestine:
Great pickups Zach. If I am not mistaken, it is a 63045 not a 6345. Could be wrong. I have a mint Tested regular pull. Tight little knives for a Case branded contract knife.
6217 XX USA red bone. Blades have been mistreated some. But the bone is good.

Nice trappers Gent.
The bone is more than good on that one Wade. Now that's Case Redbone. I have a mint XX that I can't bring myself to pull from the collection to carry but I sure want to pick one up as a user. I really like a sheepfoot.

That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.
My two pick-ups from the Dalton show ....
A slick-black 2245 1/2 and a six-dot 6217.

Some 1970's 47 pattern variations - the 6347 is a recent pick-up. OH
Ps. and one shot with an 18 thrown in for good measure.

Thank you Jerry! That mint XX is a special knife. I don't blame you a bit for not carrying it. I don't think that I could either.

Now that's a fine looking pile o knives! The 45 is real nice. And you know I love that loomfixer.
I don't know what it is about the 6 dots, but most of my loomfixer are ) dots. They seem to be more plentiful on the market than any other year. I wonder what gives there. Yours is a nice one.
