hi, i bought this knife the other day. its a case xx 7 dot, 1973, two blade. its called the greenskeeper pattern. its in really good condition, although it does have two small cracks just below the center pin on each handle. the main blade has some scratches on it from use but the second blade looks mint, like its never been used. its also unusual, a forked blade. i had never seen one before, anyone else?

Steve,
Here is a link to a multitool that has a "blade" of that shape.....

I believe that "blade" is used for budding/grafting, but it makes a handy little "weed popper" as well, as I have used this multitool all through my back yard....
I've never seen it on a pocketknife, however, so your example is quite cool.

El Lobo, you are a genius...
I have seen knives like these and never thought about using the tool as a "weed popper"... I am going to have to get me one now that spring is here.
Cool knife Steve.
Bryan
thanks!

Steve, You got a Case greens keeper. Used by golfer's....to repair dibets etc.

wfknives,
Welcome to the forums!
While that knife might be called a "Greenskeeper"....I don't believe that is a divot repair tool, as the tines should be much longer to go below the depth of the pitch mark and gently lift to the surface.
The golfer's tool is shown here....

I'm still going with my original opinion.....but that's what makes this fun...
