Today an older knife connissuere gave me a pile of worn-out Case knives, he wants me to see if I can get some blades put into an old XX, it's a small (2.75ish) 2 blade(one on each end) redbone, has easy open on back, similar to a 62042. Looks like a spear for the master (broken) Would post a pic, don't have time right now. Also, who can put blades in older knives?? (I doubt if Case could-probably discontinued) Who is the gentleman in TN that works on 'em??? Had his info at one time. Any help is appreciated!!

sounds like a 6275SP, a moose pattern.

Looks like he mentions that it is 2.75 inches long.
So, a 2-3/4" closed pen pattern, spear master, CASE XX stamping. Not a 62042 since that is 3" closed.
Maybe a 6201.....maybe a 62053. The 62053 would be stainless and looks like a smaller version of the 06263 Eisenhower. The 6201 is a 2-5/8" closed slim equal end penknife.
Case can only replace blades if they currently make tha pattern and if today's tooling matches.
There is a Case repair man in Bradford - former Case employee - used to advertise in Knife World.

Thanks for the info. Here's a few pics, it may look rough, but it really is tight, and, I'd be willing to spend a little on ANY halfway salvageable redbone XX. Any info on the fellow on Bradford?? That would be awesome, if someone could send me some info to [email protected] Also, I believe someone saw the 2.75 and thought of a 2 blade 75 pattern, so I'll try to post a pic of a USA moose I have handy. Thanks again!!
