Hey there guys and gals! Yesterday we were out and about and came acrossed a gift/ variety shop. In there I found 2 1998 NIB case knives.
#1 is a small burnt stag gunstock. Great bark,fit and finish. Snap was a little weak but some oil made it better.
#2 is a small coke bottle in purple appaloosa. Really strong walk and talk.
These are just beautiful. I can't find much about them. Are they desirable, scarce etc. They don't seem to be made anymore. What does the 1/2 pattern mean? And lastly, what is the symbol beneath the USA on both?
Thanks in advance

There is a research area on AAPK. ---► https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/page/research.php
This is for the Case numbering system ---► https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/co ... ng-system/
This is for Case blade abbreviations ---► https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/co ... d-by-case/
A 1/2 is very common. It signifies that the knife has a clip master blade.

That's the kind of gift/variety shop find that make the day worthwhile!
Great finds. I especially like the 6225's shield.
