Here one I just got
Case XX 6249 Copperhead ( Redbone )
Larry

There you go again, makin' me drool ! Larry do you ever find a knife that is not in what looks like mint condition? You need to post an ol' junker or even a "used" one ever once in a while to make some of us feel better .

Oooh, I like that Copperhead. Nice.
Just curious how long it is closed?
I like Copperheads and Jacks.

Hey TF, I will dig in one of my old boxes for a good used one next time.
Producer, the XX 6249 is 3 7/8 in. Closed. Larry

Beautiful example Larry!

Hey Mr. Phillip / Treefarmer
Here are some knives I found in a barn last year. They are new but in rough shape. Larry

Amazing find. Nice.

Goodness sakes! Larry you must lead a charmed life ! What a neat find from a barn! Looks like there is a second display board hiding behind the 1st one . Amen to what Producer said, Amazing find!!

Mr TF
Not to charmed, I posted these picture on another Thread about a year ago, here is the other board (Lot are missing ). Larry

Thanks for showing the other display board . I wasn't able to blow the pics up enough to see the tang stamps enough to have a clue about the age of the knives. What era do they fall in? Again, that is just an amazing find !
Treefarmer

TF The first board is from the USA ERA ( 1965 to 1969 )
The second board is from the 80 s. Thanks. Larry

Nothing rare or awe-inspiring by any means, but a nice solid old 8 dot Case I just got in. Always been a fan of this pattern. Fished her out of the bay for 20 bucks, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Mike my freind, don't sell yourself short, awesome knife at a great price.

I carry an old TESTED 91048 and I love it. The 048 is a great pattern although not a huge fan of the 62048 with the long spey. At 4-1/8", slim frame and long slim blade, SSP blade that comes sharp and holds and takes a great edge, what is not to love? Use mine in the garden all the time. Great features for light to medium cutting and finesse work.

That knife at 20 bucks is a great pickup, in my opinion. Nice knife.

Regards, Jerry

More beauties!

Here one that was very hard to find
Tested XX. Rough Black 6247 J LP
Larry

awesome!

Another fantastic specimen Larry! I have the 6247 J pattern on wish list and almost never see one.

When you mentioned hard to find did you mean something specific like Tested Rough Black 6247 J or were you referring to more general like 47 J ?

Great knife and pickup Larry! Yes Sir, those don't come around everyday! Only made in TESTED as far as I know.

Regards, Jerry

Thanks Tim and Ralph for the kind words.
A Dealer on the East Coast recently bought a large collection and he sent me a list of the knives and being mostly a Case's Trapper and Big Stockman collector myself that was what I was looking for, but he has already sold those. I look at the list again and saw the Tested 6247 J and another one that would satisfied my knife wants for a while.
Here is a Case Tested XX 6347 HP LP Early Rogers Bone
Thanks Larry
