Re: Trouble with a CASE knife
I went to CASE Research as suggested and studied the dot system again. I had read all of this research once but now that I have an understanding of what I’m looking for it’s making much more sense. And as Mumbleypeg had said it is a 1974. Thanks for suggesting me to go back and to research and figu...

Re: Trouble with a CASE knife
I’m COMPLETELY CONFUSED! You can see how CASE is but there’s six dots. The way I understood it this should be a newer knife. If so CASE XX USA would be entirely different….wouldn’t they? Your best next move is to click on “Research” in the header up there at the top of this page, and start reading....

Re: Case Sodbuster date code
The standard “s” is the designator for carbon steel blades. The “lightning s” designates stainless steel. As for the two rows of dots, look again at the link in my prior post. Scroll down to the bottom and look at the 2020 decade stamp pictured there. It’s the same as the stamp on your knife. Or alt...

Re: Unknown Case XX cigar stockman pattern
Based on what I see and your info I’m gonna say it’s a 63055PU. The picture of the 23055PU in Sargent’s has a standard pull, so we can assume they made some blades that way. The listing in Parker’s is for a 63055LP and specifies it as having Rough Black covers. It appears from your picture the lengt...

Re: Unknown Case XX cigar stockman pattern
In the TESTED XX era the 090 was a small lobster pattern, or alternately a 3-3/8 inch scout/utility “Junior scout” in both a three-blade and four-blade version. I don’t think the 090 existed at all in the XX era through the 1980s, then was re-introduced as the frame for the Case Jr. scout pattern at...

Re: Help identifying Case knife
Sorry to say I believe it’s a “frankenknife” at best, and a counterfeit. The tang shows evidence of having been grinded down to remove the original stamp, so the Case Tested stamp could be applied. The corners of the letters in the tang stamp are not sharp and square, so it’s likely a “cold stamp” (...

Re: Case Fiberloid? Scout
It is indeed an odd one. Somewhere I have one of these red fiberloid Case scout patterns with a bolsters and a clip master blade. Pretty rare to see a scout/utility pattern with a clip master, so I’ve always been skeptical of it (else I’d claim it as being a rare find). :lol: I think I posted it som...

Just my nickel's worth. Here's an ULSTER cattle knife with really nice, peach seed jigging. J.O'. J.O., I’m not a Schrade expert, nor Ulster either, but I believe that your peach seed Ulster was probably made in the Schrade factory. As I understand it, after Schrade bought out Ulster, in the late 1...

Re: Two Hard To Find Antique Knife Patterns
Great finds. I’ve often wondered why more physician’s knifes were not made with corkscrews, given that so many medicines back in the day came in bottles having stoppers.

Some interesting info about last night’s Astros/Rangers game. I’ve seen a lot of baseball - Angel Hernandez has to be the absolute worst umpire in history. How he keeps a job is a mystery.

Nice find! Too bad it’s in such poor condition but it’s a fairly obscure stamp, dates to 1872-1888 according to Goins’ Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings . The Naugatuck Valley in Connecticut was once a hotbed of cutleries, due the ample availability of water power energy necessary at the time to run ...

I had a similar tool that was part of my Dietzgen draftsman instruments set in the 1960s. Used for erasing on ink drawings. Eventually of course manual “drafting” was replaced by computer graphics but that was not until many years later. Not saying your “eraser” isn’t that old.
