All About Pocket Knives

Ok, anybody that can give me an age on this little whittler from Case? It belonged to my dad and my mother just sent it to me in the mail today. Looks like delrin handles but don't know the years it was made in. She said it didnt have any rust, well, as you can see it does. All I know is that it is a Case XX 10 dot the stamp on the back of main reads either 6308 or 8308.

46, 1980, 6308

I agree 1980.
And I might ad it would make a sweet little carry

Those are bone handles.

Thanks fellas, I knew you'd know. Man this site is great.

Clean it up a little and put in your pocket

cool knife perry.

Yes, and that will clean up real nice. Be a good knife for you.

Nice one Singin, heres my Dads old Schrade Walden Birds Eye Stockan, i got it right after he died August 14. 1978, might not bring $5.00 at a yard sale, BUT ITS A MILLION DOLLAR KNIFE TO ME! I wish i had a few of the coon hides he skinned with it, theyd bring good money now. I can remember, hed work all day, then wed coon hunt till about 2 A.M., then hed get up and go back to work. did that 6 days a week, he believed Sunday was for church, no matter what. HE maid more money with them old Blueticks than he made as a brick layer.

Hey Perry,
I agree, it is a 1980 model with red bone handles, Take good care of her and she will last you a long time. My dad has some knives that he said that he would let me have before he passes on. I dont know what all he has but i will be proud to have them.

Thanks rig and Keith, nah, I don't wanna do too much to this baby. It's in pretty good condition I guess. Thanks for the kind words guys.

James

Thanks James, I have tried to clean this but I guess I'm doing it wrong cause it ain't comin off.

Perry

perry, if it is pitted you can use a #11 exacto or a very sharp needle and oil. dig around on the oxidation and you can gently "dig" outthe active rust. oil heavily to stabilaze the area.

Hey thanks Johnnie I'll get right on that, great info.

Perry

That's a great looking whittler Perry . Just give it a sharpen and a little oil and its good to go.

Hey thanks s-k, I will do just that my friend.
