All About Pocket Knives

HI,
I have a couple of knives that I think may be pretty rare or maybe valuable. I have found no one whom has ever seen others like them and I was hoping that maybe someone could shed some light on the value or history of them. I have attached a few pictures of them, there the best I could get. The first is a CaseXX set, It is an oak box with a whitetail buck and the words "American Whitetail Deer Commemorative" Limited Edition One of 500. It has the Case logo on the lower right corner of the top. On the inside is a nice picture of a deer and 1 highly polished Case XX Kodiak with a whitetail antler and Brass handle. The blade is laser etched with the same deer and phrase on it. There is also a small 3" single blade folding knife, the blade has again the deer and the phrase etched in, and the handle is antler and stainless steel. There are the numbers 51405L with SS under that, and case xx USA on the other side. It also has a Zippo lighter marked ZippoXIV on the bottom. It also has a Buck etched on it. Then there is a pewter key chain molded like a buck, on the back it has the K813 1995 . It has a pewter casexx Genuine collectable emblem in the center. The other knife is very old Keen Kutter looks like the name its in pretty rough shape but is very solid. The handle almost looks like Ivory. Any help would be great. Thanks

hey corbinm, could'nt find your set in my books, perhaps someone else does. is it a 1995 comemmorative set? it might have been a special factory order from someone like smkw.

try to post pics of box,knives and tang stamps.

here are some pics, there the best I could put on here. I just had a guy at Shepherd Hills Cutlery tell me that just the knives and junk with out the etching and limited edition crap would be worth about $250. I may post it on ebay and see what I get. These gotta be some rare knives 1 of 500! thats not very many. yes I think its from 1995 since the keychain has that date on it. Ive had these since about 1998. I dont know anything about them I got them in a trade and knew they were rare I just now decided to investigate them. Any help would be great I cannot find a single thing on the net anywhere Nothing!

You can check on ebay for Case xx Kodiak and see what those are going for. Make sure and check the 'completed auctions'. Add a premium for your knife with all the extras. Yes, 500 is a pretty limited edition, but during the course of a year Case issues lots and lots and lots of limiteds. Looked thru my references and couldn't find any info on this one. Good luck with it, I do like that Kodiak and I think I should get one for my own fixed blade collection.

Hey Guys,
Ive posted this knife set on Ebay if anyone wants to look or maybe buy. Item Number-230066944636

Again, good luck with it. Sorry none of us could give you any more information on the set.
