My nephew has a birthday coming up, and I'd like to get him a Case knife from his birth year, 1975. Unfortunately I don't have alot to spend...I'm open to any pattern, and of course since I don't have alot to spend I'm not looking for a mint knife either, as long as there the blades are tight with no wobble....and bone handles would be nice. Anyone got anything they could hook me up with....?
Thanks much,
Mike

Did you ever do any good on this Mike? I guess it's past his birthday now anyway.

Hey Bob, thanks for checkin' in!
Yeah, I was able to find a nice 1975 Case never carried or sharpened medium stockman with delrin handles for 30 bucks on eBay, and was able to get it to him in time for his birthday...he is lovin' it! It's his first Case knife, and it has become his favorite knife overall. I think he will cherish it.
Christmas is right around the corner though...so if you had something else in mind, maybe in bone?.......

......I'm also looking for a reasonalby priced '72 bone handles as well if ya have anything laying around...

Good to know you found him one in time Mike. I'll keep my eyes open for another 1975 for Christmas as well as something made in '72. I probably have 6208 half-whittlers for those years as well as 6308 and 6383 whittlers (just off the top of my head). While I know I have mint examples, I'm also pretty sure I have some that are slightly less than mint that would save you a few bucks. Just let me know if and when I can help.
