That trapper is something else. Unbelievable color on that stag...very nice example my friend.
 
I have a few more!! At one time (when I was eating high on the hog!!:eek:)
I was obsessed with rare and unusual old Case knives! Now I can't afford them ( and eat mostly vegetables and beans!!:p), but luckily I managed to hang onto a few!! Here is a Red Stag 5347HP from the heyday of Case's XX period!!:D

For those with fine dexterity, here are a couple of 'Nuts that came my way!!
I could never warm to them until now as they were too small for my thuggish fingers. But when I got them, I saw they were quite beautiful!! Used but retaining their XX amazingness, behold!!;)

Thanks, Jeff!! And thanks to all those who hit the like buttons!!:)
You all almost broke them!!!:eek: I guess there's some love for old Case knives!!o_O
Here's one from the Tested XX era; a 6231 1/2 in what collectors used to call "YellowBone", or something like that???:rolleyes: A hefty knife at 3 3/4"!!:cool:
Half-stop and crocodilish!!:DYellow 6231 half A.jpg Yellow 6231 half B.jpg Yellow 6231 half C.jpg
 
Here is a big Tested Rope knife, a hair over 4", maybe sold in a Navy PX in the 20s or 30s?? The can-opener is big enough to open a 45 gallon drum!!:D
Hardly used, but with some age-patina!!:)
They sure made beautiful bone handles back then!!:cool:

I just heard back from a Case Tested expert!! He told me, that this knife (posted above also) has genuine early Roger's Bone handles!!
(I have to look up the spelling again!!):eek:
His evaluation kinda staggered me!!:rolleyes:

waynorth waynorth That's really interesting Charlie, was about to comment on that 'Yellowbone' myself as it's got an excellence about it that's remarkable:cool: Rodgers Bone in that light colour makes it all the more unusual, a great colour wish that were available today. Have a soft word in the ear of your friend Bill, he might get motivated :)

Before seeing the blades open on those Peanuts and based on the color of the bone, I would have guessed that the top knife was Case XX USA and the bottom knife Case XX!

I never tire of seeing your Case knives and save all the pictures for reference. I'm probably not alone.:p Thanks for showing!
