Re: Case Rogers Bone
Dave, That sure looks like Rogers Bone to me and some really pretty Rogers at that. Yes, Elvis is the best at fixing those old knives.
Here is one that you don't see everyday. A 6199 W R Case & Sons in Sawcut Rogers. This is the only one of these patterns and the only Sawcut Rogers I have ever seen. I took a few extra pictures to show the Sawcuts.

Re: Case Rogers Bone
Wayne, those are really nice, unusual patterns as well. What are the pattern numbers for these two.? I see the number on one of them but can't make it out.

Re: Case Rogers Bone
I picked up a Case knife yesterday at a flea market for $20. (Canadian) and have been doing a bit of research.
And that's how I found this website.
The knife is marked Case XX on one side of the tang and 6265SAB on the other side. Main blade is a saber and the other blade is a semi-serrated skinner (what I now see some people call a "Bill Boatman" blade). It has what you term "Rogers Bone" handles. Is this the same as "Red Bone"?
It is in excellent condition. The main blade has been (carefully) sharpened but aside from that it really doesn't look like it was used much.

Re: Case Rogers Bone
That's standard Case jigged bone,not Rogers.I personally wouldn't call it red bone either.More like they would call pretty bone.Very good buy for less then $20 US.
Roger
Re: Case Rogers Bone
Thank you very much for the information. There seem to be a lot of different names for jigged bone.

Re: Case Rogers Bone
Thanks Treefarmer & Roger,The store is about 2 miles from my house Roger,It was the first time I looked there.The master blade is not as bowed along the edge as it appears.If you enlarge the photo,you can see a difference in the bevel from sharpening about 1/2 inch up from choil,it looks curved.

Re: Case Rogers Bone
Nice pickup Bill!
What a great old beauty that is. Pretty color on that bone.
