Is this knife for real?????
I recently came across this unusual Cheetah. I searched for days all across the internet and can not find another like it. My question is.. Is it REAL?
I think I attached the pic's correctly.

Looks like somebody has filled in the hole where the swing guard pin went through the tang. I have no idea concerning those handles. If the hole was still there, maybe the 1st number of the pattern would not be missing. The book shows regular bone and stag and says that in recent years they used other handle materials?

No idea about authenticity, but the scales look like something Deadwood Knives offered some time back.
Take care and God bless,

I believe it is a cobbled knife. The scales look to have come from a Fight'n Rooster. I'm not sure but the frame may be Fight'n Rooster as well. It also looks like some work has been done to the blade. It is supposed to be a 10 dot but the first number of the pattern is missing. If this were a Case Cheetah it would most likely have been a 6111 1/2. That is the pattern # for bone. If the scales were originally stag the 6 would be a 5 but I've never seen a pattern # on a true 10 dot Cheetah. As said in an earlier post, the hole where the swinguard is supposed to go has been filled in. My opinion, totally fake.

I recently picked up a case tested single blade trapper in Christmas handles. I was most certain that it was a fake. So I got with the Godfather TF. I was right it was a fake.he also give me a little education in Christmas tree handles and casexx knives.As I was told a cheetah was not a pattern case ever used up until 2000. Maybe after 2000 they may have used Christmas tree on cheetah pattern but the godfather and only spoken about case double x knives up to the year 2000. Mister Foster is the number one authority I believe on case double x knives the older ones.
