All About Pocket Knives

Tom, That is some beautiful bone on your Muskrat! And a beautiful knife in fabulous condition.

More beauties!

Thanks, Larry, Jerry , Ralph, and Redrider. I appreciate the kind words

Tom

Tom. Congratulations.
Those are beautiful knives.
For me, it's nice to recognize the closed C on the Muskrat shield. I'm learning.

Thanks, Joe

We are all learning!!

Tom

Congratulations Tom. Sounds like a worthwhile trip. You got a couple of real beauties! you need to post that Muskrat over on Phil's Rogers bone thread also.

Ken

Found this old well loved veteran at a flea market for the grand sum of one dollar. Fairly scarce Tested XX 06221-1/2 green bone, long pull. It was rusted shut but obvious that the master was short and secondary broken. Figured for a buck I'd take it home and see what I could do with it. After a good soaking in Tuf-glide I got it open but unfortunately the tang stamp is all but gone. With a loupe you can barely make out part of the letters in CASE but that's all. And unbelievably, what's left of the blades now has good snap! Wish it was in better shape, but it is what it is. Worth the dollar though, just for the fun and entertainment!

Ken

The shield is worth more than the knife cost you.
Someone really liked the knife for a lot of years. The old Case knives were of great quality!!!
Thanks for posting it.

Tom

Got this pair of stag Barlow's, adding to my Case Barlow collection.

JohnR Great looking Stags

Nice oldie there Ken. You just don't see many 21 patterns. Only made TESTED and prior as I recollect. Scarce pattern. I have a pretty sweet condition TESTED 02221-1/2 with a regular pull. Interesting frame shape for sure.

Regards, Jerry

Nice knives John. You may know this but those knives came as a set of three. 5000 sets made.

Here is a link to the set I auctioned off to help WWP.

Jerry

nice snags, MUMBLEY & JOHN

Thanks guy's. Jerry, I did know they were part of the set, these 2 are numbers matching, unfortunately the razor one got away.

I have this knife posted in a thread I started, but this is a much more popular thread so I'll show it off here.
A pearl 61.
Lots of good looking knives.
Ken, I like that oldie.

WOOO WEEEEE, SWEET PEARL UNIT, FRJ

Thank you, JB.

Really like the blades on the 61, Joe.

Nice knife

Tom

Joe, Very Nice Knife


Went to the Knife Auction in Lafayette, In. last weekend along with Tom ( olderdogs1 ) and a bunch of collectors and dealers. Everyone had a good time and got some great knives.
Here one of my finds
Case Tested XX 6394 X LP Big Gunboat
Thanks for looking
Larry

Larry, that is a beauty.

Thank you, Tom and Larry.

What beautiful condition that knife is in! And hell for stout blades. Congrats, Larry.

Gorgeous stag and pearl knives! The picture Voyles has of a -21 pattern knife in his Second Edition isn't much better than yours, Ken, nice find!!!

Thanks for the compliments on the old 21 guys. Joe, JohnR, and Larry sure are making it feel humble with those pristine beauties they're showing.

Ken

But Ken, it's got real personality.

I just got this knife and I have never had an older knife that was in such pristine condition.
These older Cases were such well made and well designed knives.
Very dark red scales which look real nice on this compact little beauty.

Very nice Joe
Here a XX 5391 Red Stag Big Whittler
Thank for looking
