i am new here hello to all

Case xx is just term that means.. checked twice (something to do with their inspection)
Most if not all of the knives say this...
What type of knife is it... Trapper, stockman.. etc... bone? plastic?
Post a pic.... or a link to a similar one...
Avg is probably in the $40-50$ range...... could be alot more or less depending on what it is..
And welcome to the forums!

Case also used a dot system to date their knives. These dots will be found below the Case name on the blade. If your pic doesn't show them let people know the dot count if there is one. Also are the dots above or below the USA stamp and are there Xs and dots? If so how many of each?
 
I don't think you will get an answer until a picture is linked or posted, if linking, you need to include accurate description of condition. WELCOME TO BF, Home of the Knife Nuts.

This knife is a 4" jack knife that is generally referred to as a half hawk bill or loom fixer. They will normally have two blades that extend from the right side. Most of them have a large sheepfoot master blade and a pen secondary blade. Case introduced the knives sometime before 1940. The handle materials used on this pattern include black composite, bone, and laminated wood. The black composite handled versions can be found from the pre 1950 era. All were made with laminated wood after 1970.
