Hey folks! I'm looking for some help in identifying which specific Case knives I have in my possession. Although the guards made it a little difficult for me to see all of the digits, I believe that I have two 061050L SAB models. When I've looked around online I've been having trouble finding any that have the same configuration of identifiable attributes (most don't have guards, the Case logo on the side has a different shape and font, etc.). It wouldn't bother me as much, but after digging through my late father's collection these are the only two out of probably 100 knives that I don't feel confident about the age/era of and since I know that he had some knives passed down from my grandfather, I know that these could be pretty old. For context, my dad was born in '56 and most of his other knives were from the late 70s to the early 00s. I'm usually pretty good about researching things (I was able to get info on all of his 100+ vintage lighters and all of his guns, for example), but after spending around 3-4 hours finding tons of similar knives, I was hoping to get a little help. It seems like there is a wealth of knowledge here and I hope that no one minds if I try to tap into it.
Please note, I am not asking you what the value of these knives are. I see that that is against the rules and I don't intend to start off my time here on the wrong foot. What I'm hoping for is to understand what I have beyond the model number, such as the year and if there are any other unique identifying attributes to these.
I'll be checking back if there are any pictures that I need to retake or questions that I can answer. Thanks folks!
