This is a repost of these knives. I put them up the first time before really going over them. After selling one and then finding an issue before shipping I closed the thread until I had time to go over them properly and report accurately as to their condition.
In general all seem to be as new, unused and unsharpened, except as noted. They each have a flaw or two that I will describe with each. If you see something in a picture that I did not mention it is lint, fuzz, finger print etc. but please ask if you want to know something specifically.
If I had the time and desire I would send these off to Case for remedy as I am sure there would not be an issue. I do not have the time or desire and am willing to take a big hit as such.
All have Box, Paperwork and Pouch. All are Antique Bone. Prices include PayPal Fees and Shipping.
$165 $SOLD - BOTH Each For the Tribal Spear and Cotton Sampler
$185 $SOLD For the Muskrat
Tribal Spear -
Blade is slightly off center and there is a slight bit of lateral blade movement. There is also a small scuff on a bolster. Reasonably flush in all positions. Medium pull. I forgot to take a pile side photo but the bone is nicely matched.
Cotton Sampler-

Previous owner had waxed this knife. There was a fair amount of residue in the jigging. I buffed approx. 95% of this out with a cotton wheel. No damage to the finish of the scales. There is still some around the shield. The shield got scuffed while buffing out the wax. I hit it with the chuck on the Dremel. If you are good with 2000 grit this should clean right up.
I have owned a number of these and this one is exceptional mechanically. No touching of anything by the blades, medium pull throughout and flush in all three positions.
