Let's see your Traditional Case knives, old to new.

My first canoe. Just received it yesterday and I'm already a big fan. I predict more of these in my future.

Is the one on the right bone stag, or genuine stag? Looks really nice...

A neglected (maybe, not intentionally) Case XX (1940-1964) pitted blade 6232 Jack. Great well worn bone and pretty much full blades with no play period. But the carbon demons got to it but that doesn't stop years of service lying ahead of this great old girl

How'd that Boker sneak in there???

Magic collection.

If you're going to collect a particular pattern, that's a good one to choose.

Yep, just Something about that pattern clicks with me.

Thanks Hornetguy, it’s genuine stag. It’s better than I expected which is always a good thing.

She’s gorgeous Paul!

Wow, what a great looking collection John.

Reminds me of that old Sesame Street segment: “one of these things is not like the others.”

Thank you, Cudgee and Todd.
I don't know how it happened, but now I have a mess of 'em.

“one of these things is not like the others.”

That poor Boker looks too much like a Case I guess.
I was putting them away in the cabinet and I said, "Hey! How'd you get in there?"

Thanks Todd, I like rescuing a knife that someone gave up on. I like putting it to good use knowing it sat neglected somewhere all alone in the dark

Dang John, VERY nice

Thank you, Paul.
The great thing is, nine of them were gifts from amazing Porch members.

A 06247pen from 1975. First one of these I have ever had in hand. Love the 47 frame and the single backspring...makes for a very light and nimble carry.

You seem to favor Case knives, John!!??

You seem to favor Case knives, John!!??

Yes, I think Case knives are fantastic.
Solid and beautiful knives at a reasonable price.

I was hoping someone could give me some information on this one. Most 35 1/2s I have seen have the secondary behind the main (something I actually prefer) and this one has a more forward nail nick on the main blade than I see in most pictures. The tang stamps indicates 65-69 if I’m not mistaken. It has really nice action and nice scales but my question to the Case experts out there is, has this one been modified or is it original?

 

[Old Hunter]

There is some speculation the variation you have (and similar Barlows) were contract made knives (possibly by Camillus). The nail-nick on the main blade is positioned forward, a sure sign the knife was manufactured that way. I have a Case Barlow built like your Jack. OH

... has this one been modified or is it original?

Who cares?
Wow What a beauty
Is this new?

For the record, I just went and checked, and all my 35 1/2's have the pen behind the main with opposite side nicks. They're all '79s and '80's IIRC, so not too surprising that they're all the same.
