All About Pocket Knives

Never seen one of those either Phil, but a nice looking knife - let us know how it skins. OH

Posted in another thread but I'm waiting on these three. Should be here by the end of the week or first of next week at the very latest. I have a feeling I'm going to be very pleased with all three.

All sellers pictures of course.

Jerry, unfortunately the doctor's knife had to go back. It turned out to be a single blade (not as originally pictured) and the single blade on the one I received was blemished. But the Tribal Lock and truck with stag Peanut are outstanding. That jungle green camo Kirinite is spectacular, you really need to see it with your own eyes.

Bradford was incorporated in 1879.
W. R. Case began in 1889.

Thanx Steve good to know.I love the feel of this old one dot

She's a beaut, gdogg!

I suspect that's a centennial knife for Bradford, PA, which was incorporated in 1879 per Wikipedia. The Case "Tested" centennial knives were produced in 1989 in various sets of pants, including stag. I have a couple examples including this R6243 which sits in my EDC box due to a weak etch and the defect from a pin-spinning incident which you can see on the mark side handle (the pile side has the same defect). I was able to get this knife for a good price a few years back, but most of the centennial knives seem to fetch a premium over a typical example of the same production pattern.

Oh ya a spinning incident i see she'll be a great carry.

Latest addition to the fixed blade pile came off the bay. A Case small Bowie, 8 3/4 OAL with a 4 3/4 saber ground blade and Rodgers jigged bone handles. Also posted in the Fixed Blades forum.

I always liked Case's autumn bone sides - figured it was about time to do up a Ratcliffe in autumn bone ---->

Nice choice on the Autumn Bone...you got some especially nice colors in the bone on your Ratcliffe. The slanted bolsters are a nice touch as well...they compliment the shape of the Wharncliffe perfectly. It would appear as though you have perfected your Ratcliffe mod to factory specs...actually even better, more like custom shop specs.

I wish my Autumn Bone 6207s were 6107Ws...but, alas, you can't always have your (Autumn Bone) cake and eat it (with a wharnie) too!

Case 63033, 3 blade pen knife, 1981 Delrin, found in antique shop today. OH

OH, Great find

Ditto!
Sweet!!

Thanks guys. That orange looking coating was some old, gummy oil. I found several knives, bought three, all new but shopworn - the grime has cleaned off, joints all oiled and snapping nicely. OH

Swapped for this baby today.
P62-4 1/2
Anyone know what years these were actually in production? The tang stamp indicates sometime between 1965-1980, be nice to narrow it down a little more.

If anyone has a line on an original sheath drop me a PM please.

Picked up a Case Sodbuster and a little Peanut recently. First Sodbuster and I love it's simplicity!! It feels really nice in hand also and reasonably priced. Thanks for looking.

Woodwalker that sodbuster is a staple in the tool shed!

Lol. You got that right. I was reading the history of the sodbuster last night and it is styled after the Antique Roman folders. They call it a folding butcher knife. A peasant knife. Neat history on them. I showed it to my boss and he loved it. So I am going to buy him one for his retirement which is coming soon. He is a big hunter and said it was the perfect skinning knife. I used it to cut some veggies for me and the Misses today. I'm glad to have it and don't know why it took me so long to pick it up. Have a great weekend Greg!!

I like to have one within reach at all times. They are great knives and will take care of most any chore.

Here is one that came in today. These 06247pens are one of my favorite carry knives I saw this 1974 with these really pretty bone handles and had to have it.

Nice Greg. 70's Case knives are very well made in my experience!! Good find!!

Nice 47PEN Greg, I bought one here from Gino years ago and enjoy carrying it. OH

Nice one Greg!

This one came from Gino too. I like slim. A 2 dot bone. Well I thought I had a picture of it.

Looks a lot like Greg's.

Fixed it.
