All About Pocket Knives

Super nice knives, Larry

The 5391 WR is my favorite. First one I have seen!

Tom

Her are a couple of Rare ones I think. The stag is a Tested Gunstock Whittler 5387 1920-40. Not sure on the pattern but the bottom one is a Case Bros Little Valley Wharncliffe Whittler 1900-1912.

Thanks for looking.

2 Great Knives, Tom Did you find them at the Gator Show?

Larry

Tom, beautiful knives! The frame shape (sleeveboard?) of the pearl whittler reminds me of 76 pattern. That being said, I don't recall seeing a 76 with wharncliffe blade or in pearl.

Tom

Thanks guys.

Larry, yes both were Gator Show finds.

Tom

Tom it looks like it was a really show!

Very nice Mr. Tom!

Tom, you're really torturing me with those whittlers! That gunstock whittler is super.

Ken

Fantastic knives Larry, I agree with Olderdogs, that anglo saxon whittler is spectacular!
Sweet knives Tom, the gunstock is really pretty and unique, I don't imagine those are seen to often
Here is a W.R. Case & Sons Bradford, PA (1914-1920) W.W.I Easy Opener Navy Knife. The master has a very high quality crocus polish on the mark side and Made In USA in a double circle stamped on the back. The back-springs are also crocus polished. The bail is of thick gauge and is quite long.

Beautiful knives here guys.
Great looking knife you have there, Beachtree.
Unique cut on the file.

Thanks Joe, I agree, the file blade is also quite large as far as file blades go.

Thanks Beechtree for the kind words,
That a wonderful Old Navy Knife

Larry

This is probably my rarest Case. A 1972 curly maple sharktooth.

These are some Rare Case 62086 Tested and XX in Rogers Bone
Thank for looking

Larry

WOW!
Those are beauties, Larry.

Rogers bone is my favorite case handle. Nice knives Larry


Tom

This is a WR Case & Sons 2345P. Look closely at the handles, they are Ebony - not slick black composition. Ebony handles on Case knives seems rare in general, and this is the only 45 pattern that I have seen handled in Ebony. I hope this one is not too rare

Thanks for looking.

Wow, Jerry that the only one like that I've ever seen. Very nice

Larry

I really like that 45, Jerry

Tom

I like it too.

You said Rarest not Oldest.
1 of 2 Prototypes made. never went into production. Autumn Bone with Silver Script

Recently acquired this one that meets requirements for this thread. Case Bradford 8383. It's been well used but it's tight with great walk and talk. Has the "square" bolsters on the master blade end. Nice pearl but chipped at center pin on mark side.
