Larry that one is sweet!

Here is a Case knife i could not resist bidding for. A recent 2 spring muskrat dedicated to rabbits ! There is no pattern number on it. One tang is marked "CaseXX/x x" and the other "USA/Muskrat/SS"
This is not how Case knives are usually marked. Why is this one different ? And are the handles bone, ivory or plastic ? I cannot tell.
I really like it and hope to understand it better.

Kj that one is quite unique. I've never seen that before. The muskrat doesn't actually have a pattern # they are just marked with the word Muskrat. Could be the American version of the Bunny knife.

Here's one I just couldn't resist either. My first Bose-Case collaboration.

Thank you Monk & Greg. The "Hand Tools" is sold out but it is a $55 knife. It is a good knife for this money and i am pleased to learn handles are bone.
Greg, i think the Swing Guard is the most highly sought after Case-Bose Collab. Very very impressive knife. Any play in guard when open ?

KJ, that's a very nice little muskrat/rabbit. And bone! gsmith that is a very sharp, quality knife and it looks good.

It's very solid Roland when open but not so tight that it scuffs the tang when closing, a very well made knife. I have bought several Cases lately in that $55 range that I would put up against GEC quality. That Tribal lock is one of my favorites. I think Case does an outstanding job most of the time in that range.

kj, I do collect scrim from time to time and I very much like the detail on yours. Fine looking knife.

Thank You QS. The art work is attractive and for $55 it is 'a lot of knife'. Blades would very much suit bunny hunting.

Swing guards are very cool knives - I don't own one, but I admire them from afar!

Here's a new one for me, my first 06230 1/2.

Greg, done good

Greg, nice pick up! I hope there's room in the old Case display case

Cool knife Greg

Jerry I just ordered a new one I believe we can acomadate.

This 125th Anniversary Mini-Trapper should show up in my mailbox tomorrow. I really like the color of that bone.
Sellers picture of course.

I just received this 2014 Case 10318 medium stockman with black G10 handles. As much as I like the old bone & stag knives, I also think it is pretty cool to see a traditional knife pattern with a modern handle material. I found black G10 very difficult to photograph with my cell phone and bad room lighting - these are the best I could do. The blade finish seems a bit rough, more like a Sodbuster than a typical '18 pattern.

Sweet score TFL.
That finish on the blades is known as, 'as ground", no polishing.

"As Ground" with the G10 looks really good. Nice knife.

What FarSide said.

MT G-10... Suitcase.. I had an 18 like yours but gifted it away!! I liked mine but the person that I gifted it to liked it ALOT!!! John
