The whole lot I can't find some of these anywhere online.

Earlier I posted a coke knife this is the whole li of case I have they are all older than 90 so if there's something interesting please let me know.

Nice score. Most look like probably from early 80s.

Which ones are you unable to find? They should all have pattern numbers on the blades, and all except maybe the small pen knives are pretty common. Those look like maybe 78 patterns but still should have pattern numbers. Once you have those, the "search" function on this site is a great resource. Just click on Quick Links up there on the top left, and then from the drop down menu click on Search. You'll get a form on which you can enter your info like pattern number, or Texas Lockhorn". Press enter and off you go.

Let us know what specific questions you have, preferably with individual pictures of those knives rather than the entire lot. I'll be glad to help as will others, but need more specific questions about what you need so we can give good info.

Thanks the small game type knife second to the left towards the bottom couldn't find a name for it. Also the one right beside it. It's also really hard to find values for everything I search eBay and find similar things for a lot of them and then I try using case daiting info it's all just really confusing. I also can't get why anyone would want these giant folding hunting knives. Thanks for the reply.

I'm not well acquainted with Case fixed blades. Unless it's a rare or unusual one it's probably not worth more than maybe $50 max, depending on condition. Post an individual picture of it, both sides, here on the AAPK Fixed Blades forum. Someone there can probably tell you more about it. But they're gonna want a better picture.

As for "the one right beside it"- beside it which way? To its left is the Coke bottle you already posted, and above that looks like a 61051L small lockback, that should have that number stamped on the blade. The one above the small fixed blade (looks like it has metal handles) is possibly a 78 pattern - if so it should have a number ending in 78 on the blade. Below the small,fixed blade is a Texas Lockhorn (what it says on the box, and stamped on the blade). To the right looks like a couple of stag stockmans which, again, will have pattern numbers stamped on one of the blades. Hope that helps you.

As for why anyone would want the giant folding hunters? In past years when our society was more a rural, agrarian economy those were among the most popular knives. Sold by the hundreds of thousands annually. Today they're still popular with outdoorsmen, and with collectors. But if you don't like them, send them to me and I'll wonder about it for you so you don't have to!

The stag handle small fixed blade is a bird and pheasant knife and I believe that variety was made in the 80's. It should have a number on the tang identifying the pattern and blade length. The Texas lock horn is a semi scarce knife worth about $200. Depending on the dates some of the other hunters could be worth that much as well. Great pick up!

I see a nice Mako and a nice Hammerhead there with the early style leather sheaths. Those were the Case competitors to the Buck 112 and Buck 110 respectively. The Case Mako and Hammerhead lock-backs are still made and sold; they never gave the Buck models any serious competition - the Buck's were stronger and cheaper but the Case are still very nice knives. I have an old (1988) Hammerhead and I do occasionally use it to skin and butcher a deer - blade steel is equal to the Buck in my opinion. I've never owned a Mako, but wouldn't hesitate buying it if I came across a good used one. OH
Ps Looks like the fellow who owned those knives was a hunter or liked hunting knives - there are plenty of old school and "1960's modern" hunting knives in that collection.

[Old Hunter]

The two stag handle pocketknives look like the Case Muskrat (a purpose built hunting knife by design); it's built on the 47 frame, but one of the few Case Knives without a model number - only a name - should be on the tang of one of the blades. OH

Very nice collection that you have acquired.
