Need some info on case knife...

[combatjiujitsu]

I found this one today at a antiques store and was wondering why the heafty price tag? Anyone have any info on it? Worth the money? I figure I could get it a little cheaper probably but 130 seems like a lot. Thanks in advance

Looks like a newer knife to me, I don't recognize those scales
Maybe one of the laser/machine scrimshaw deals like a Johnny Cash commemorative?

What's the tang stamp look like (determines vintage)? And what's the pattern # on it?

Going just by the picture above, I took a google-stab at it: Case bathing beauty knife.

The pattern looks to be HA199 1/2...?

But I've seen nothing (so far) to denote collector interest/price.

Perhaps more of Parker's "work"?

Maybe someone else can take this further....

Ed.: here's a thread from right here at Bladeforums, suggesting these are 1979 repros worth about $50-- iffn someone wants to pay that much.

I don't think he bought it, just assumed we weren't going to get a closeup of the tang
That would take all the mystery out of it !

I've been looking for one of those for a while, they're a little hard to find.
If you can get it for less and want a cool piece for your collection, I'd go for it.

I didn't buy it and the guy who owned the booth wasn't there at the time. When I go back I will get the tang stamp even though everything he had was a little pricey

 

[combatjiujitsu]

Worth the 130 dollar price tag?

Hel-lo....

Ah, okay. I'm glad you hadn't fallen on your head or something, and forgotten you'd asked.

That pic makes it look like Ayn Rand in a bathing suit.
