I'm not a Case expert by any means but that is a Half Whittler, not a Copperhead. Just a mistake on the sellers part - he has another Half Whittler labled correctly. ::shrug:: I don't know what they book for but even a Bulldog should draw at least twice that for ivory on a knife as small as 3-1/8 inches.

I wonder what the Case guys have to say?

IV=Ivory(can be seen in Sargent's latest page 31)
I= Imitation Ivory(or recently mastadon)

Also notice that the shield is the one used on synthetic materials

That was a standard catalog product, not an SFO but as others have pointed out the handles are ivory delrin, not ivory.

Case brought out a few patterns including the trapper in that handle and the same patterns in imitation pearl....they were only in the catalog for one year maybe two...so they are somewhat rare.

BigHead, I've seen the same thing; from this seller. Just about every knife at his store is "Buy Now", with sky-high prices. I don't see how he can sell much; with his prices.
