Kind of looks custom to me?

It is not a custom or modified knife, it is an original Case hunting knife from the early 1920s. It appears to have a nickle guard which would place it before Case had all their hunting knives made by Kinfolks which began in 1925-26. Being as there is no provable evidence that Case made any hunting knives before 1922, you knife should be circa 1922-1925. Very cool old hunter although somebody did do a heavy buffing on it.

It is a very hard knife to find, looks like it is in good shape especially for it's age. That pattern is not often seen.
