Case 147 Fixed Blade?

[pinnah]

Does anybody have a picture of one?

I came across a drawing of one in a book but can't find any pictures of one searching in the usual places.

The book I was looking at suggests it was made up into the 70s and came with a separate marlin spike.

The blade is a drop point and what looks like slab handles. Sort of similar to what some folks refer to as a bushcrafter style. Originally a sailor's fixed blade?

Any info on this style, including length, blade material and grind would be really great.

Case made the 147 beginning in the pre WWII era (probably 1930's) and it was in production until 1975. A fairly scarce knife, not a high production item. It was only offered as a set, the knife and marlinspike in a combo belt sheath. I don't think I'll be able to post a pic here of the catalog image, but here is the catalog description:

No. 147 3 3/4" Stainless steel blade. Walnut handle with hole for lanyard. Nickel silver bolster. 5" stainless steel marlin spike in same sheath. Weight per standard 3 pack is 25 ozs.

Strange, but it seems they've re-used that model number. A quick Google search shows the Case 147 to be one of their new plastic-handled, folding, budget knives.

You are right, but that is the modern "product code number" not the pattern number. Not that it really matters, since Case in the past used recycled pattern numbers once they discontinue a knife.
