All About Pocket Knives

Hi All,

I'm new here, so thank's for allowing me into the group.

I inherited a small collection of knives from my late Uncle and am going through and researching them, which has been good for the soul.

I have a Case Arapaho with original sheath, hoping my picture shows up. In almost all Arapaho's I see online, there is a hole drilled for a strap. Mine does not have the hole. I'm not sure if this matters, or if this ages it as newer or older. Any insight would be appreciated!

Thank you so much!

Chris

For what it's worth, the original sheath that came with my Case Arapaho (no dots) has TWO female snaps - one just above the other. Why ? I have no idea, other than it can be used for fixed blade knives of a different length.

I have one from 1987 and it does not have a lanyard hole. I also have it's slightly bigger brother, the Kiowa from 1985 and it's also missing the lanyard hole. I think one of these knives has the sheath with the two fastening positions you mentioned. Not sure if this tells you anything or not. Let us know if you find more info.
