Identifying Case Knives?

[David Nowlin]

How do I identify the age of Case knives? Is there a go to guide explaining markings or stamps. Construction indicators/changes over the years? If i plan on collecting a Case knife or 2 or 5 i need to be able to understand what i’m looking at.
thanks

I found a tang stamp chart using BING. I'm pretty sure Google can find one, if that is the search engine you like.

Not sure if you can link to that vendor.

Bookmarked, thanks!

Here's a stamp chart I copied from somewhere, but remember: this is just a starting point. Over the years, Case has re-issued "heritage stamps" and of course, there are a whole lot of "frankenknives" and counterfeits out there.

Have we seen a 2020 stamp yet?

Yes, saw it in a magazine, I think. You can probably find it in Case's website.

Edit: I see you found it.
