Your newest addition:traditionals of course!

Here are two case knives I acquired recently. One is likely a 1940-1948 Case 6235 1/2 capped with a shield in green bone. It has a Case over XX tang stamp, but no pattern number. And so, in theory, is pre-1949. The other is a 1974 Case 6332 in red bone (although not "true" red bone due to the era). I've posted both of these in other threads before, but the sun today really captured the colors of these bone pieces beautifully in my opinion.

The colors are sweet on both!
 
Heck of a mail call today. Have been wanting a single blade GEC 48 Trapper for some time and I finally bit the bullet and purchased a Case Bose collab (Eureka Jack). Have been reading so many posts about QC issues on these, but this one is perfect. FF and WT are just a bit better than my usual GEC experience, but the jigging is on another level. The Case is an 80s knife that is just solid in every way. Such a great and reasonably priced knife. And SZA? She’s earned her cover of the this weekend’s NYT magazine - soooo good. Probably my favorite female R&B/hip hop artist these days. B6642EF0-24C7-4C2F-9AC0-2DFEDF46AD6A.jpeg
 
Look what arrived in the mail today…

The seller described the one as a lambsfoot but honestly I don’t know if it is or not. I’ll have to ask someone with expertise on lambsfeet.

No taper (narrower) tang to the curve to the tip, so it's a sheepfoot. (reverse taper; tip wider than the tang, is a ramfoot)
Today's project...Imperial camp 1936-52

Can opener dates it to post WW2. I read somewhere that the safety can opener went into production in 1947.
However, the patent was applied for in 1945, receiving a patent number in either 1946 or 1947, I forget which.
