Re: China "Multi Tool" Pocket Knives.
Among my oddball knives there's a SAK with less "layers" that has the same star within a circle trade mark. I forget how I acquired it. Victorinox SAK are inexpensive enough that I've had a few almost forever so, not surprisingly, my China SAK has not had a fair chance to demonstrate its u...

Re: Unknown Case XX cigar stockman pattern
I'm sorry I left out a zero. I believe his Stockman is a 63090. I have a modern stainless equivalent made in recent decades that, if I recall correctly, is stamped 6390 (only one zero) but it's not available to check. The modern ones in different colors are not super common but certainly not scarce....

Re: Unknown Case XX cigar stockman pattern
Two cigar shaped stockmans come to mind. The smaller at about 3 3/8" closed has handle number 90. It looks like that's what yours is, a 6390, but the ruler's placement makes its length uncertain. The larger at 3 5/8" has handle number 45, a 6345. Having a punch is less common than having t...

Re: Ode To The 07
This one I had forgotten your 100 year commemorative and our discussion of how historically accurate its etch is or isn't. 500 commemoratives makes the answer almost no. That makes the gap in your 07 collection where rosewood should be appear even larger. Case has made other patterns realitively re...

Re: Ode To The 07
I do not know of a better place to ask 07 questions so here goes. Other than the Rigid contract 07s did Case install rosewood or walnut on 07s? I'm asking about solid wood, not packa-wood or laminated wood. Walnut has its own number: 1 . Really old 07s are of less interest becaue they command higher...

Re: Ode To The 07
My only Rigid that was not made by the original company is a Japanese Rigid with an approximately 3 1/2' - 4" fixed blade. It's pretty decent for the $25 it cost me. Since the original company closed the brand has been sold and resold to businessmen who had the knives made in various countries....

Re: Ode To The 07
I recently became aware that Q's Mini-T collection might be deficient. The monkey must worry that someday soon Q might not have the correct 07 to drop in his short pants pocket for a walk on the beach. In 1982 Rigid contracted Case to make rosewood 7207s stamped Rigid USA. Do you have one?

Re: Anyone Know the Brand of this Pocket Knife
That makes it a Case 73087 pattern stamped Rigid. During the later 1970s and early 1980s I was interested in Rigid knives but I must have been busy with other things while Rigid sold Case knives. I worked 60 hours a week every week of 1982 and was more interested in target shooting. I leared somethi...

Re: Anyone Know the Brand of this Pocket Knife
The trouble with Rigid is since the original manufacturer went out of business the brand has been sold and resold and the knives made in multiple countries. Fortunately none of the Rigids that were not made by the original company resemble the original company's knives so it's easy to spot originals...

You may be over thinking its size. Folders with 5 1/4" to 5 1/2" handles are common. Case 72 Bulldogs and 050 Coke Bottles come right to mind. Many manufactures make similar knives. While less popular, 6" to 6 1/4" folders are readily available. SMKW has them in their Marbles and...

While any fool can get away with calling darn near every knife that folds a jack knife, the Briarpatch Jack is a Muskrat. If its "lamb's foot" was a Wharncliffe few would argue the point. Multiple manufacturers have named their knives with a clip point opposite a Wharncliffe Improved Muskr...

Thank-you for posting the table for dating fixed blade Case knives. Even though this site is allaboutpocketknives it would be great if the management added it to the reference section. Most members are also interested in fixed blades.

Depending on how you use the description, I have one or a few too large knives. All were inexpensive. The Case Bowie might qualify as a monster. It was $30, as new in box, which is way below their usual price. While I usually use my too large knives to stab man eating bengal tigers and polar bears, ...

Yes. I do not know when they started but Bear MGC which renamed itself Bear & Son has been making knives for over 35 years and still makes them. They stamped yours Bear MGC but included papers with their newer name.

Re: 2024 Case XX razor knife
How much value it loses depends on how you take care of it. If you cary it mixed in with coins and keys it is going to get scratched and scuffed. If you sharpen it with relatively coarse gray hardware store stones or worse use an electric sharpener the metal loss is going to show. Give it a dedicate...

It's a fairly common pattern from 2008 with enough pocket scratchs and blade scratches to take it out of collector condition so the seller might have intended to sell it wth his users.

Re: Blade pan question
Your wording could be better. Simple tool steels like 1085 and 1095 blade alloys are first heated very hot then quenched making them too hard and brittle. The pan got its first X so it would be obvious only that first step was done. In the second step, tempering, the pan is heated to a lower tempera...

I quoted a fragment only to get your attention. Please post a picture of the RR trapper in the bottom of your picture and its RR item number. It looks like it has a US flag and a bald eagles head. I presume it's 4" closed.
