Case 1116, 1920-1940. Typically, this model has a small spey blade, but at some point, somebody did an excellent job modifying it to a very useful drop point blade. This knife has become one of my favorite carry knives.

That is actually an electrician knife frame.
It would have a screwdriver blade and a spear main blade. The notch is for the screwdriver.
Nice looking knife.

6318 Case Stockman.
This is a really good one, there is a bit of blade rub but other than that it is an excellent knife.

That's interesting, but I'm not so sure. Are you thinking my knife had the screwdriver blade removed? On my knife, the notch in the handle lines up perfectly with the blade's nail notch when closed. I figured it was a 1116 "Budding" knife that had its spey blade modified after it started out like this one I found on the internet. I welcome your additional thoughts or anyone else's. Thanks!

ETA: Found the same vintage Electrician's knife on the internet (shown below). It shares the same handle frame as the 1116 Budding knife, but the Electrician's main spear blade is longer than the blade on my knife, which would throw off the alignment with the handle notch. I'm fairly confident my knife started out as a Budding knife.

Pretty sure I posted this same picture last year around this time with the Chestnut peanut. This year I’m going with the Olive.

Day one with White Christmas and I have a few thoughts...

1) sure took a long time gettin' here
2) here's one, Zippo can be proud of
3) and... I think I'm in love

edit;
Just thought mrknife may like to be alerted to these. If you haven't already checked these out it may be worth your time, there's another pic at the top of this page

I think Charlie knows this and you can see it in his smile

This 1983 m279 was obviously a Friday knife that probably should have been returned by the original purchaser, it needed a little help and it's still not great but it's passable now.

I guess I know why it just sat in a drawer , and it's a real shame too because they really hit the blades out of the park.

I picked up another GITD Russlock, this one without the scrolled bolster…it has become a workhorse and I love pairing it with my GITD Teardrop which is the best hand-fitting small knife I have come across!
