Re: PUMA knifes with the Rockwell sticker

An update on my question about the stickers. Julia Nicolai from PUMA DE (in Germany) researched my question and found that indeed PUMA did use these stickers early in 2000. They were produced by a third party who mistakenly put the space between Rock and well. I received this email from Julia: Nicol...

Re: Any help identifying and estimating value on this Case fixed blade?

That looks like a pretty nice knife, from the pics I would go up to $100:00 in an action setting as a collector. As someone who was buying to flip, I'd spend no more than $70:00 Of course if I had it in hand and noticed any issues that would have a bearing on how much I'd spend. Just my opinion tha...

Re: Any help identifying and estimating value on this Case fixed blade?

I believe this is a Case 523-6 model if in fact the blade is 6" long. Stamp and round pommel make this an earlier version made before 1965. The 5" 523-5 and 6" 523-6 are some of the most commonly found Case stag handled fixed blades and they were top sellers in the fixed blade line. ...

Re: PUMA knifes with the Rockwell sticker

Greetings all, I have some PUMA Four Star mini's made in 2004 that have the testing sticker with Rockwell spelled in two words, "Rock Well Quality Tested". I have someone comment that is not the correct sticker due to it being divided into two words. Does anyone have any comments about th...

Thank you and I agree, it isn't chrome plated.

Re: Help please with info on an early Case Sportsman fixed blade

According to Case fixed blade authority Brad Wood, (published in Sargent’s 7th Edition) the 62-5 first appeared in the January 1, 1934 price list. It was listed in the January 2, 1942 price list but he says to his knowledge none were produced after WWII. It was not included in the January 1, 1949 l...

Re: Help please with info on an early Case Sportsman fixed blade

I think your knife is a 62-5 pattern. I guessing the blade is about 5" in length measured from the integral guard. Beautiful green bone handles. Looks to be in excellent condition and the original sheath is a nice plus. Should be worth somewhere north of $150. By the way, do you know the appro...

Re: Help please with info on an early Case Sportsman fixed blade

Very nice! Not sure how you plan to "dispose" of the knives but there might be some buyers that are AAPK members. Selling fees here are much less than eBay. You can't sell here without a premium membership but a bronze level subscription is just $20 and let's you sell up to 20 knives. For...
