Just got back from a local gun show and picked up an interesting one. It is a 1994 Case 51113 pattern. Nice stag on it. It is about 5 3/8 inches long and has 087 of 125 engraved on the mark side bolster. It is almost like it is a club knife but there is no other designation on it other than the serial number and the usual Case marks. The box is one that I haven't seen before and has item number 01951. Any help as to what I have gotten myself into would be appreciated.

Here are some pics for fun.

As always, any help is appreciated.

You got yourself into a lovely looking large coke bottle-nice photos.
I don't know anything about the club idea-or special run stuff on this knife.

That pattern # is throwing me off as far as being a large coke bottle. What's the closed length? Maybe a single blade small coke.

The pattern number has me scratching my head too mumblypeg.

The coke bottles, big & small are pattern numbers 25 and 050. I'm guessing it's connected to the Cheetah in some way. The frame sure looks like the coke bottle to me though. There will be someone coming along with alot more Case knowledge than what I have, that has the answer to what this is. BTW Needbucks, is the 5 3/8 inch measurment of the knife open or closed?

The 113 pattern number is legitemate for a "slim big coke bottle" whaich is what that knife is...I dont know anyhting about that particular knife but the pattern was made during the Tested era then brought back for modern SFO's.

It is 5 3/8 closed. Quite a handful. Best way to explain it is it is framed like the 6211 1/2 pattern that they came out with for the Centennial series only an inch longer. Case had a 61213 pattern pre-1940 that was a 5 1/2 inch swell center. It is described in the C. Houston Price Guide but no picture of it.

The 087 of 125 serial on the bolster is what throws me. Usually when I see something like that there is some sort of etch or something that says why it was limited to 125. Such as a club knife, SFO, or something like that. This one is pretty much pristine except for the serial number.

Thanks for looking guys.

Shirley Boser has identified what I have. It is a SFO for Cabela's. That's all I know about it.
