Interesting. I wondered what pattern it was and thought it was something different. Have one here too, same pattern same years, but the nick is in a different place and the blade profile looks different to me too. Learn something every day. Beautiful knife.

They enjoyed it.

Ivoryman got me thinking about my Case 6235 1/2 Jackknife and the nail nick. So I looked at an older version that I have. Below is a side by side shot of both knives. On the left is a well worn 40-64 that does not have the 6235 1/2 stamp (Or it has been worn off) and on the right is the 64-69 that I have been carrying. The other difference is the older knife has the master blade to the front with the secondary blade behind while the newer knife has the secondary blade to the front with the master blade behind. I purchased both knives used so one or both of them could have been altered at some point. Which means I'm going to have to do more research to find out what the answer is.

Great pair of bones your have there. Interesting comparison. Wonder if Case just moved the nicks at some point? Clip profile too maybe. I don't know but I noticed it was different. Interesting anyway to see the slight variations and change over time.

I don't know. On both of the knives I have the nick is the same and even though the older knife has significant blade loss it looks to be the same blade profile. The position of the the blades (master blade in front of or behind the secondary blade) is another question that I have stuck in my head now too. I'm sure that one of the collectors/historians out there will know what the story is, I just need to pose the question to the right person. If you don't mind, I would like to borrow your photo when I ask a few of my fellow collectors about it.

Great background with the hole, great lighting through it, great shot period. Bravo Squach.
