Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
Nearly my whole Case collection is fairly late model ... my oldest are '80's era Damascus peanut & a mini-trapper with pen blade (not the more common spey blade). Both snap closed harder than any late model Case I have ...
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee

Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
John...I've always liked the look of Damascus blades...definitely some craftsmanship involved and they're beautiful knives to put up!
I really enjoy seeing and reading about all these hard to find Case knives. Here's one I've posted in another thread...but it also applies to this topic. It's a WR Case and Sons copperhead with Rogers bone handles. It's seen some use...but it's an honest knife. Very rarely do you find this pattern in the antique eras...as a matter of fact, this is the only one I've ever seen...and is definitely the rarest Case knife I have.
Thanks for looking...and keep posting more knives!

Does that mean you don't have a rare Case knife? If that's where you're going with that, me neither.Derek Love wrote:This would be my rarest Case knife.

Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
Thanks Greg and Tom, appreciate the feedback
Ken, no I posted a picture of this one a while back in knife lore.
This knife is very special to me, it originally belonged to Robin Olds, I bought it from his daughter along with two other pocket knives he owned.
For those who don't know who Robin is read this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Olds
The man was a real American hero and I am grateful to own the knife and be able to preserve it for posterity.
