Jacks or Better to Open...

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Got this 1973 6292 Texas Jack from Dimitri a couple of years ago in the POS Roundtable. It's obviously not a POS. Thank you Dimitri.

Hey Jerry D,

Yes, no POS there. Interesting knife. May not be common. Don't recall seeing a 1973' 6292 Delrin with a comp shield before. Could be wrong. I do know that the comp shield started on very few patterns in 73' but I don't recall personally seeing one on a 92 pattern.

Oops. I miscounted those dots. It's corrected and thanks JerryZ for bringing it to my attention. I defer to the Case aficionados on the shield issue 'cause I don't know diddly-squat about Case knives. I just know I really like the knife.

What is not to like about that knife? I really like that pattern. Great knife from a fine member for sure. Just to clarify, I personally see no "issue" with the knife or the shield. Just was referring to the fact that few 73' CASE knives have that shield. I personally would consider that knife to be somewhat scarce as it was a "transitional" period where that shield was first introduced on few patterns in 1973' before standard implementation of that shield on comp knives in 1974'.

Thanks JerryZ. It's nice to find you've found an Orchid while searching for a rose.

I thought I would breathe a little life into this old Case jack thread, and drop in a couple of my recent additions for posterity... a XX era 62087 and an 8 dot 6235 1/2

Thanks Mike. Now I remember this thread. I'll follow up with this 2000 vintage 22087 SS. Case is supposed to be sending a replacement for the missing shield.
