Could be. Look at how many tang stamps Case has had over the years. Cool knife either way!QTCut5 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 4:52 pmThat's pretty close to mine...although the etch on my folder clearly has "USA" under "WESKE"...I suppose there could've been more than one style of etch used by WESKE; maybe one for fixed blades and one for folders?
Mahalo, toomanyknives, I appreciate the feedback.
Nice looking Peanuts and Congrats on your new Mug Dan.Dan In MI wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 11:30 pm Y'all have been hitting a slew of home runs lately! These may only be a double, or maybe a base hit, but I like 'em nevertheless: a pair of Case Peanuts in pocket worn old red bone.
There's more to the story, though. Those knives were ordered this past Wednesday. That night, a certain "pretty red mug" (that's a direct quote) suffered an unfortunate accident during dish-washing time. The following morning, I called Shepherd Hills and asked them if the order had been shipped yet. It hadn't, so I asked if they could add on a new mug. They did so, and got the order shipped soon after. It arrived yesterday. Superior customer service from Shepherd Hills!
Gotta have those coffee holders in the morning!!Two very nice knives you have there, Smitty. They look to be in excellent condition, too! Thanks for the kind words, as well!

I received a couple in the mail today. Another addition to my Schrade and Camillus 72 Clone family. A Schrade 863 along with a Camillus 715 from the Old Glory Series that was put out by Camillus around 2001 or 02. I will post more about them in the appropriate threads.
Beautiful Schrade NY USA there. That is a looker, and great condition. Congrats. Beauty.
Thank you I-man.
Thank you SSK.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 11:09 am Smitty I really like that Schrade, that’s a very good looking knife.
Cheers Jerry
its my first with Kirinite and i like it Great looking knife. Let me ask...did the mineral bath and soak increase the depth and vibrance of the color or was it this good looking before ?Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:01 pm Actually received this one yesterday. But had to do a warm mineral oil soak & rinse, and a little cleaning. Another addition to my Pony Jack corral, a Camillus Long line tang stamp 21 Pony Jack with bone Handles. Main clip blade has great snap, with positive half stop and no wobble. The secondary pen blade has very week snap. Mark side handle has a tiny crack on lower edge to the right of the rear pin. Pile side handle has a small crack at the center pin.

That is as nice a color bone as you will see, and the worn smooth look of use makes it look even better, Great get.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:01 pm Actually received this one yesterday.

Thank you. The mineral oil soak is usually to help loosen, and dried or gummed oils that may be between the joints, and in the blade well. It seems to also help bone handles, if the bone happens to be dry. Not really sure if it helps the color or not. I usually wash a old knife with some dish detergent and warm water, the flush with wd-40 beforehand. Then I put it in a container of clean mineral oil, usually I warm it with a lamp but during the summer just set it out in my shop, over night. Then flush again and clean.Louisville.Boy1947 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 11:57 pm

If i can give you a little tip, you can buy spray cans of " Degreaser " it is for removing stubborn and dried on old grease, can even use it for helping to remove oil stains from concrete. You spray it on, leave it for about 4-5 minutes and wash it off, under pressure is better, or just strong water flow. It is fantastic for neglected knives that the oil in the joints has gummed up on, or dried oil in the well that has turned to grease. And cheap, i can get a large can of it over here for between 2-4 dollars. And just handy yo have i the workshop and home.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 12:57 amThank you.

If you go to the Knife Repair and Restoration Thread and go through the posts and pages, there are several tips on cleaning knifes. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... m.php?f=37
Also, here is a post on cleaning that TrippleF posted. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... 38&t=47909
Hope it helps.
Thanks, Mark. I'm already trying to decide what the next addition to the "Peanut gallery" will be. Case doesn't make that easy!Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 11:09 am Dan that red bone peanut is really sweet. Such a deep red color. I agree with you about SH service it is top notch.
An excellent example of why the Pony Jack is so addictive. That is a stellar, A-plus score, Smitty!Papa Bones wrote: ↑Tue Jun 29, 2021 8:01 pm Another addition to my Pony Jack corral, a Camillus Long line tang stamp 21 Pony Jack with bone Handles.

Man that Schrade is awesome Smitty! 
If you ever wish part with it, 
I'd be very interested. Nice find Smitty! And your new Pony is also very cool! 
Thanks, Tom!
Thank You Tom.
Appreciate it Dan. Congratulations on your find with the Pony Jack and Schrade 18OT! Both are Beauts.
Sweet stuff Dan!Dan In MI wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 9:02 pmThanks, Tom!
These two arrived today: another Camillus Pony Jack (which I've taken to calling 21-2) and an unused Schrade Old Timer 18OT. Pictures of both have been posted to the appropriate brand-specific forums.
