Great looking knives.

It takes a bit to characterize a knife as rare for me. Thses would fit into the "slighty to relatively scarce" category for me.

That 06267 is one of the prettiest knives I have ever seen.I think any knife that's that nice is rare.

Those were made for the military, hence the USA stamp. I believe They sold around 80,000 of these for around .39 cents each. I have a picture of the contract somewhere.

They will bring over twice that now!!!

Finally got the one I been looking for: Tested XX WinterBottom 6391 Big Whittler

Wow!! Super knife Jlw. Congratulations.

Holy smokes Larry! That is an amazing old knife. I must say that is one of the most beautiful Case knives I've seen and probably ever will see. The Winterbottom bone fantastic

Congratulations on that find Larry. You've found another stunner! In fact all three of those are beauties.

Now that you've scratched that itch, what's next on your list?

Ken

Thank Greg, Jerry, and Ken for the kind words

Larry

Larry

Thanks you Mr. Roger

Larry,
That one kind of blows me away. That is the kind of knife that if you find it you take it home at all costs because you know it is your ONLY chance!!
Congratulations!


Tom

Thanks Tom, I heard about the WinterBottom 91 six months ago and it took that long to talk the guy into selling it.

Larry

My clunkers

Quite a group of clunkers there XXTestedXX. Ilove those old whittlers.

Not too shabby for clunkers!

XXTestedXX, I was just sitting here thinking that Case & Sons whittler you posted is in excellent condition ,there couldn't possibly be many of those left given the propensity of people to use their knives until used up at that time. That has got to be one rare knife.

I'm hoping so, I haven't seen many with this shield. This one has a SAB blade as well. hard to tell in the picture.

Does anyone have a shield for this old Case folding hunter. 1932-1940. ftd

Wish I had one for you. Unusual for a Case from that era to be missing the shield - they were pinned on. Hope someone can help. Maybe someone has a "parts knife" with a good shield of the correct vintage.

Ken

Posting one of the Rarest Case knives I have, a 62089 Tested 2 blade congress.

Thanks for looking!


Tom

Tom, you ve done it again! very rare Does it have pinch bolsters?


Larry

Very nice Tom! It looks to be an early Tested example with the large jigging. The bolsters look recessed in the picture.

Thanks Larry and Jerry,
Yes it does have the pinched or recessed bolsters. It definitely has larger jigging than most Greenbone you see in the Tested era. The one pictured in Jim Sargent's book ironically looks to me to have the larger jigging as well. Still have to hold out the possibility or probability that it might have been rehandled.

Tom

Well I have just gone through this thread AGAIN and every time I do I am just blown away by these beautiful knives. Every time I get a new oldie I think well I have finally got one I can post here, then I look through here again. Eh maybe I better wait on the next one.
Unbelievable knives here fellas.
