Case XX
Saw a XX canoe this week end at a gun show. Belonged to his dad, purchased in early sixties, as new. Odd to me, no pattern number, only Case XX on master blade. Scales not a good match either. Opinions ?
Re: Case XX
Lots of fake Case canoe knives out there. Was there canoe etch on the blade? What was the handle material?
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Case XX
No etch on blade, jigged bone handles of different colors, not matching front to back. Supposedly bought in '65-'66, last Case xx was '64, right ?

Re: Case XX
Impossible to tell without pictures. I have knives with mismatched handle covers, came from the factory like that. It’s not unusual. However in my experience it is very unusual for a Case of that vintage to not have a pattern number.

Re: Case XX
That's what I thought, didn't have chance to take a picture. Im not a big Case guy, but my observation is they usually put the best scale on back... Just seemed unlikely not to have pattern. Thx.

Re: Case XX
If it is an XX it is highly unlikely that it would be jigged bone. There were only a very few of those made with left over XX blades at the beginning of the 65-69 USA era. Up until that point Case canoes were all stag handled.TazmanTom18 wrote:No etch on blade, jigged bone handles of different colors, not matching front to back.

Re: Case XX
Wasn't stag for sure. Why go to the trouble and not even get it close...
