More stacked leather goodness. Case 325-6". Hard chromed carbon steel. Tang stamp is from 1940-1965, but mushroom pommel vs knights head puts this one in the '40s. Never sharpened.

This knife was most likely made for Case by Kinfolks, a company started by cousins: Dean J. Case, Tint Champlin (Cattaraugus), and Russell Case (W.R. Case & Son, W.R. Case & Sons).

These bright plated blades are very difficult to photograph, especially when your skills are as rudimentary as mine.

Nice looking knife! The history of Cutlery firms is very interesting to me but sometimes can be difficult to figure out. I have lots of quality blades with no information...
Thanks for sharing:thumbup:
