Case Circle C switchblade whittler

[BearTraxx]

I am trying to find information on a knife that i have had for several years. It is a Case Circle C stamp, two blade whittler with switchblade or locking blades with push button open . The number stamped on the blade is H2210. Handles are brown mottled celluloid and in good condition . I have tried to research this knife but have been unsuccessful in locating online any information at all on that model . I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of it and would assume that its fairly rare given that information on it seems to be next to impossible to obtain. If anyone is familiar with this knife and can point me to any detailed information about it, i would very much appreciate it.

The 2210 pattern was a press button switch blade that was made for Case by Schrade. The pattern number should be preceded by one other number that indicates handle material such as 62210 92210. There was also a BM2210 which was mottled celluloid and a imitation tortoise shell which was 72210. These were only made in the tested era 1920-40.

Welcome to AAPK. As others have said we need some pictures of your knife to identify it for sure and tell much more about it. Clear in-focus pictures of the knife with blades open and closed, and of any markings on the blades. Posting pictures here is easy - here is how viewforum.php?f=98. Scroll down in the posts until you find the directions applicable for your device (PC, iPhone, Android, etc).

Hope you don't mind that I've worked on your pictures a little and posted them here. The information Greg and others have posted previously is applicable to this knife. Made by Schrade on contract for Case. From what I see, my guess is the first digit of the pattern number is probably a poorly struck "8" rather than "H". Either way it's a nice old knife with issues (cracked celluloid handle covers, tarnish on the blades) not uncommon to a knife that age. BTW that pattern is not what is typically classified as a "whittler" (but I'm sure you could whittle with it.)
