In the master's chamber they gather for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.

No! The real ones were never made with a cap bolster, and never with those handle covers. That one is cold stamped - you can see the metal pushed up/out around the letters.

Great info to have.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thanks for the post. Now I wish I had one of those real ones.

Oh, Bob...I think pretty much every collector of Case knives would LOVE to have an authentic 25 cent knife...it's one of my personal "Holy Grail" knives. I was fooled once by a forgery (although not by this one with celluloid covers), but I keep hoping that one day...
