Another abomination

To my knowledge Case never made a pattern like this one. The jigging is nothing like Case ever made, the hafting (thick covers) was not seen in the Tested era, the shield having a squatty flat topped S didn’t appear until the 1960s, well after the Tested era ended in mid-1940s.

As if that’s not sufficient there are other questionable aspects of the knife some of you eagle-eyed members might see.

Looks like someone mailed off some blades and a shield to ol' knifemaker Paki Stan.

When I enlarged the photo and saw the jigging, my first thought was "handlebar mustache?" Did any maker use such jigging?

The listing has been ended. Hopefully it doesn't make a return.

It's often seen on very low-end knives from China and especially Pakistan, but no reputable maker has ever used it.

Same seller has this canoe listed and the only parts that look like they were made by case are the shield and the frame

That's that infamous Speed Bump jigging Case used at the turn of never.

I’m not used to seeing striations on old Case carbon blades. That goes for the canoe posted by Potechop too.

Also the knife Ken posted shows visible shield pins, which doesn’t always mean a fake, but in this situation it’s a fake.
