An all-time classic!!!

Yes indeed! I carry my older Case knives very sparingly. My father in law gave me several, maybe 25 or 26 years ago. He bought them in 75 or 76. He was a knife collector like all of us!

Such a nice, rare knife!! I like the subtle curve in the blade!! Is that a robust blade - a rope-type knife???

Thank you Charlie. The upswept spine on these really catch my eye. Heres a few others that Im taking care of while Im around

The blade type is called a Navy rope blade. They have upswept curved spines with a bellied edge, rounded and dropped tip, with a thick spine that thins gradually toward the blade tip.

These knives are a distinct Sheffield maritime blade form, purpose-built for rope work and derived from sheepfoot geometry but not technically sheepfoot. In their day, they were favored by Royal Navy sailors,
Dock workers, Fishermen and Merchant seamen.

Same as yesterday only today I had the opportunity to use it on a couple occasions. I'm sure others experience the same where there are days when you have no need to use the knife in your pocket. We're gonna pocket them just the same.

Unfortunately my trip ended up with a funeral for Dad. Life sucks at times but it’ll get us all one of these days. I drove back to Wisconsin because I wasn’t sure if I’d be there for a week or a month. That gave me some time to slow down on the return trip home and see a couple of friends along the way.




I even stocked up on some campfire accessories. Felt a little like Smokey and the Bandit.
