Wow Wayne. My friend, no clue to where to start commenting on that great pile of knives. Nice ones. Some very scarce ones there. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Jerry

Thanks for showing Wayne. That is an amazing pile of rare knives. I wouldn't know where to start on picking a favorite.

Wayne that’s a stunning collection of older Case’s.

I agree it is hard to pick a favorite but that stag 5392 would have to be my pick of the litter.

Thanks for all the compliments on the Case knives I posted.
Gary that Sportman's set is the grail of Case fixed blades. I've only seen a few in many years of collecting.
Keith no way to upgrade on the two you posted.

The _294X pattern is rare knife in my experience. It is 4 1/4 closed. I have seen them marked Case Bros Springville, W.R. Case & Sons, and Tested XX. This is a W.R. Case & Sons 5294X with the pattern number marked. It has the raised letter oval shield which seems to be a rare shield to me. The slim design of the frame and smooth bolster-to-bolster line of the main blade as seen from the front are appealing characteristics of this pattern to me.

That's something else. I'd assume that's rare in any condition and again a great rare knife you have.
