Re: this case blade
That is a CASE TESTED 62093F - the main blade when mint was pretty narrow...hard to tell from the pics how much wear it has but that one hase been used some.

Re: this case blade
looks like a 62095f to me. 5" closed? the blade is not as worn as it appears.

Nope...the 62093 (also made in yellow as a 32093) is a bit different than the 095.
The 093 had a liner lock main clip blade, a slim California clip style, with scaler back, and a hook remover blade with a file on the side for hook sharpening. The knife pictured is a 62093.
The 095 was only made in yellow, never bone as far as I have ever seen. The 32095 had a regular clip (not a California clip) main blade, and a secondary scaler blade with hook remover, and a hook sharpening stone in the handle. The 32095 was the Case fish knife that was made from the Tested years through the 1970's.
The larger Sea Beast (I forget the pattern #) was made during the Tested era in bone and in yellow...no hook sharpening stone.

Re: this case blade
hmm... the 093 has nail nick on the disgorger on mark side blade while the 095 does not. the 095 also has a file on the disgorger while the 093 does not. the 093 has a hook sharpener shield while the 095 has an oval shield. both knives were made with bone and comp handles.
sargents has good pics.

Re: this case blade
Ok thanks...I'll have to look in Sargents. I am going by the old Case Tested catalog cuts and descriptions.jonet143 wrote:hmm... the 093 has nail nick on the disgorger on mark side blade while the 095 does not. the 095 also has a file on the disgorger while the 093 does not. the 093 has a hook sharpener shield while the 095 has an oval shield. both knives were made with bone and comp handles.

Re: this case blade
I have Sargent's sixth edition so I am looking on pages 212-214. I hate to say this, but Sargent's book is incorrect.
Look at the 32095F XX, page 213 lower right hand corner. That is indeed the 32095 as made from the TESTED era until it was discontinued in about 1980. Standard clip blade, scaler/hook remover, and the "F" stood for the hook sharpening stone in the handle. This is the 095 pattern, which was never made in bone in my experience.
The picture on page 214 upper left hand corner is a 62093F, however it is incorrectly noted as a 62095F. Notice that the knife is a lot different as compared to the 32095F, it has the California clip which is in front, scaler back on the clip blade (and liner lock on this blade which can't be seen in the photo)...second blase has no scaler but has the file on the side. It is also 5" long but otherwise a very different knife from the 095.
Sargent also lists the 62093F and the 32093F on page 212 with no photos.
IMO this is just an error in listing the pattern number on the photo on page 214. I have the old TESTED era catalogs that clearly show both patterns and the differences. I have also owned examples of both the 32093F and the 62093F as well as the 32095F...they are definitely different patterns.
