Wow, that's a nice one for sure Mike. Never had one of those older ones with rough black covers, but they sure look nice.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Thanks for the kind words fellas, I sure appreciate Steve offering up great knives like this at reasonable prices. This is the first knife I have bought in quite some time, but it was really speaking to me.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
I am REALLY happy with this ebay purchase. It is a 1979 SR6220 peanut in smooth rose bone. The seller's pictures really didn't do it justice (and neither do mine), and because of that I think I stole it for a bottom feeder price. The seller even threw in a nifty thick cloth sheath!

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Here's one I bought the other day. A white bone 6375. It's actually a Brooks and Dunn collectable but it's rather understated with no etch on the blade only their longhorn logo as a shield. That's what I like about it.

OK.... here ya go. Some knives I really don't like to make real shiny. This is one of those. I really like the way it turned out.FarSide wrote:Really nice. Please show us pics after you clean it up.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Really nice job cleaning that one up Mike, looks like a different knife! In the original pics it almost looked like the edge was a little ragged, but apparently that was just age spots, 'cause she looks great now

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Wow Mike, super job and not over the top which make it just about perfect. I hate to see the Hollywood stars with all the surgeries, never an improvement. I hate to see honest old knives that are too shiny. That one looks perfect to me.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Thanks guys! Yep, it was hard to tell on the original pics about the edges. There was something on the blades that looked sorta like tar. After that came off and a little steel wool work..... there you have it.
I really like her now. (In my pocket today)

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
I got this 1984 6207 recently with what appears to be mismatched handle scales. I prefer the mark side to the pile side.

Q, those mismatched handles are quite common for that era Case knife; have or have had several like that myself. My latest, a Case 6279 Stainless Senator. OH
