All About Pocket Knives

I was told that they are Case in-house Christmas gifts, 1 of a 1000, hence the odd patt. #. Around 250 didn't sell in-house, and were made available to the public.
Got them around 1987, Pattern #'s are GR06200 with 2 dots and Y0200 with 3 dots.
They are a Copperhead Patt.#6249
Can anyone verify that story?

Thanks
Gary

There is currently a thread on the Case Collector's Club Forum about this model. The Case Historian posted these comments:

"Here are some known facts:
Both the '49 and '00 are in the Tested XX era.
Both are 3 15/16" in length.
The '00 often had the Long Pull and Clip and Spey blades.
The '49 had the standard pull and Clip and Pen blades.

The '00s were offered up as several SFOs in the 1980s and 1990s.

Here are some of the ones that I found:
Little River Knife Company:
#03271 - 1988 - B0200 SS - Smooth Black Bone with raised letter shield
#02301 - 1989 - BK0200 SS - Smooth Black Bone
#02666 - 1990 - RO6200 SS/6200 SS - Red Moss Jigged Bone with unidentified oval shield

House SFO:
#01919 - 1987 - Y0200 SS - Smooth Yellow Bone with raised letter shield

Wallace Cutlery:
#00421 - 1986 - 05200 SS - Stag with oval shield

American Blade Knife Club:
#01038 - 1992 - 05200 SS - Stag with oval shield in centennial box

Blue Ridge Knives:
#02217 - 1997 - 6200 CV - Chestnut Jigged Bone with oval shield & clip and spey blades
#02112 - 1997 - 6200 CV - Smooth White Bone with no shield & clip and spey blades
#02120 - 1997 - 6200 CV - Amber Jigged Bone with Copperhead frame, oval shield & clip and spey blades
#02117 - 1997 - 6200 CV - Chestnut Jigged Bone with oval shield which is noted to be a circle

This is very limited information and unfortunately I do not have an associated picture to go along with it." END OF QUOTE

Normally the 00 number is for the Case Melon Tester which was introduced in 1958 and hasn't been produced since around 1974.

I hope this helps as it is all the info I could find.

OK, I'm learning here, What is a "SFO"?
and who is Ms. Shont?

Nice Copperheads!

Thanks for the reply guys, I'm learning a lot if you don't mind the obvious questions, but it's news to me. And believe me, I have a lot of questions. I just have to dig out my other knives.
So SFO's are...well... Special then I guess, what would be the current value of a knife like this?

Don't know. Follow the one on ebay and we'll find out.

Hey guys,

Here is an Appaloosa bone B0200, I believe it was made in 1986

I love the half stops

Sorry for the fuzzy pic.

Well Wosey, what name would you stick on this pattern, Trapperheads or Coppertraps? Of coarse we could call it old #5. That's the 54 pattern minus the 49 pattern;
54
-49
= 5
And I didn't even have to take my socks off and county toes to cypher that one out. I knew those 4 years I spent in 5th grade would pay off later on in life.

Aimus

that copperhead is part of a set case offered green bone they made 500 in about mid 1980's

A couple of years ago, Aimus asked what these 9200 knives should be called. The AAPK Case pattern section calls them 'Copperhead Trappers'. I have a 1997 9200 CV with some kind of gray pearl acrylic handles that I'll get some pictures of later and post.

Can anyone tell me anything about this knife. I've had it around for years, and just discovered it could be as old as 60. Hope my pics can be seen ok.
It's about 4 inches.
Thanks
