Great gift. Super light weight and easy to sharpen.

some how the blade on this one looks wider than the ones of more recent times to me

My boss told me he just wanted me to find out what is was worth. I took the photos like a week ago to post just I could find out the year for my research. (I have answered my question of value already.) But my boss told me to just take the knife home and take the photos. I wouldn't do it since I didn't know when I would have time to post. Well, last night he gave me the knife and said it was what he was planning all along. I like my boss. He is a really great guy. Like the knife too...

This is the place you can find the tang stamp info for for dating Case knives for future reference. Great looking knife and a really good knife for daily use. Congrats on the gift and kudos to your boss.
