I don't even know what posterity is but I know that that's a beautiful knife.

Edit: Googled it, now I know. Posterity - all future generations of people.
I'm quick man! I'm also really good at "Multitasking"! I can concentrate on one thing and totally forget everything else!

Thanks.
I drooled over it for at couple of months before thankfully losing my resolve and going for it. So worth it!

Need you guys to tell me if this is red bone or not. I just got it this week end at a local gunshow. It is a 6265 sab marked Case , although the model stamping is really light. Marked Case XX, so I am sure it is in the 1940-1964 range? No issues with the bone scales at all. Nice snap and not much blade loss if any. I paid the guy $100 for it , what do you think? did I get hosed or not? You won't hurt my feeling cause I like the knife. Terry

Can’t tell you about the color but I can tell you it mighty “purty”!
Beautiful old Case.

Thanks treefarmer, well I like it anyway, that is important if your going to spend a hundred bucks! I have about 6 or 7 folding hunters of different makes and it will fit in nicely. Terry

Really nice knife, I wouldn’t call it red bone. I think $100 was a very good buy. Harold

Thanks Harold, if not red bone what do the Case people call it? Terry

I would not call it red bone. It doesn't really have a name for the color.
I also think it's worth $100.
Beautiful knife!

Hi Terry,

I am by No means a Case expert. I'm just guessing here but it may be "Caramel Bone" or "Chestnut Bone".Niether seem to be a % match but they both look similar. Maybe "Caramel-Chestnut Bone".
I can imagine the shades of colors have changed somewhat over the years. Maybe someone with a book or old catalog could be of more help. Anyways, I have one Case with "Chestnut Bone" you can eyeball for comparison. Notice that one side is more redish brown while the other is more brownish black. Hope this helps or inspires a real expert to jump in here with a correct answer.

thanks for the replies guys, I guess it doesn't make any difference what it is called, as long as I like it LOL. Terry

Here...,

is a Sodbuster with Chestnut Bone Terry.

I would call it pretty Case bone.

Harold

Back when Terrys folding hunter was made Case didn't have a name for the color of bone.

that chestnut bone looks real close, I think I'll just refer to it as jigged case bone! LOL thanks for looking guys, have a great evening. Terry

1980 Mini Trapper 6207
Not quite sure what to call this bone color (Green? Gray? Appaloosa? ), but I like it.

Q you always find the sweet ones.
