1973 730109 x case Good Earth
Can anyone tell me about this knife?

I can’t upload a pic, but it has the oval Case XX tang stamp used in 1920s, Case 1973 USA tang stamp, and a Bradford tang stamp on the same blade as Case Bradford Pa blade etch

Though I don’t have that one but I recently acquired this 6308 three dot split back whittler. It’s a beautiful knife with excellent fit and finish and snappy walk and talk. It is nothing like my newer Case knives.

That's awesome.

Thank you sir, I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Case knives from this era.

I have several 70s Case knives, they are all excellent! I have that whittler somewhere, but am not where I can dig it out for a photo.

 

[JohnDF]

The 70's were Case's high point.

Typo folks, 1993 not 73

 

[Doppler Bob]

Previously posted erroneously as a 1973 instead of 1993, it was a typo. I realized when I got the reply regarding 1970s Case. The knife is new in the box with coa.

Info. Value. Collectibility. Quality from early 90s. Just some good info.

What are those scales made of?
Asking about value is a no no as per forum rules....but if it is new old stock or second hand but in mint condish that would vary the price you pay....if you like it you probably paid the right price....one certainty is these things hold their value and it goes up generally quite slowly...
You got a great knife I reckon....

I’m a gold member so I wasn’t out of line. Thank you for clarifying.

objection overruled the witness is not on trial here...Sorry mate my apologies....Cases acrylics and the corelon and kirinites are vastly various in colour and design...i like em.Where you bought it would vary the cost maybe....but as I said...if you you like the knife what matter the price? Meakfucious say "only worth what a collector will pay"
