This one does not have a number on it and I was wondering what pattern number it would be? A saddle horn? I have a Collecting Case Book but can’t seem to find this pattern. Thanks for any help you can give me!

Nice looking knife! The pattern number is 61100 (aka saddlehorn). Case made 1500 serial numbered sets of the Winston Cup Champion series knives, each having etched blades commemorating a different driver IIRC. The blades were stamped “Winston Cup Champion” in lieu of having pattern numbers. Yours does not have a blade etch so was not one of the knives from the sets.
The story I heard is when they finished making the sets they used up the left over Winston Cup stamped blades. Yours appears to be one of those.
