All About Pocket Knives

i dont realy know any thing about the classics, but, ive been told of a knife here localy ive not checked out yet, from what i can tell it may be called a large coke bottle, brownish bone handles, may have the date stamped on the tang, was told it is prety mint, and $125.00 is there any thing i should look for to make sure its what its suposed to be, or even if it is all right is 125.00 out of line ?? thanks for the help .

Hello cbnutt,

Without a picture it is difficult to tell you what type of bone handle.
The knife should be marked 61050SAB or 61050 depending on the type of blade. Look for a Bomb or Bowtie shield
Should have the date tang stamped, most were made in 1990 and 1991

Hope this helps ?

Her's a link to Ebay .... there is a Case Classic 61050 up for auction ..... does it look like this ?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Beautiful-1990-Case ... 500wt_1182

or look at this link : much better pictures :

That is a 61050SAB Hunter Pattern, looks similar to a "Coke". 125 for an "as new" knife is not bad.

i think from what i have herd it will look like that, only was kinda desribed as more of a lighter or honey look on the bone, ill dig into it some more and see if i can get a hold of the guy that has it, didnt know if they dated all the early 90,s with the actual date stamp or just the classic, thanks..........

didnt see that second link, great pics on that one, ill study those good if i go look at the knife.

CB,

If you get serious about collecting the Case Classics look up Case Classics Club .... great website, full of wonderful information and people that really know the Classics.

There's a few threads here abut the Classics ........ as well as many people on this site that know a lot.

Membership for the Classics Club is $12.00 per year and I can tell you it is the best $12.00 I spend every year.
