Perfection. The color and the jigging is perfect. We all need more early Case redbone in our lives.

Nice find!Picked this up at the flea market (one block from the house) this morning.
Some wear on the box but the actual knife set appears new and unused.

Thanks. I think it either a 74 or 75. It almost impossible to see all the dots because they are hidden by the bolster.

I went to a nearby hardware store yesterday with my wife. I had never been there before, but had heard they are a Case dealer. Arrived and started checking out the display, noticed a couple of nice peanuts and asked to see them. The clerk was having trouble getting his key to work in the display case, and while standing there I spotted another display off to the side that I had not noticed yet. Ooooh, a jigged chestnut bone CV peanut, nevermind the others, I need to see that. He got that one open and pulled out the peanut... Oh, this thing turns, what else is here? A seahorse whittler! Now that I have to see. Oh, smooth chestnut bone, gorgeous, the texture almost looks like walnut burl. So many beautiful knives that I want to take home, but I think this is the one for today. What's that, am I a collector? Well, that wasn't my original plan but I'm starting to wonder...
Got it home, it's pretty sharp, a little honing and stropping and it's ready to test out. There's a bit of blade rub when opening the two small blades, which can be avoided by opening the main first and then the secondaries. I have a bunch of basswood available, this could be fun.

Those Seahorse Whittlers are just beautiful knives and yours is no exception . Thanks for the great pictures .I went to a nearby hardware store yesterday with my wife.
