Newest Case Pick-Ups
Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Been trying to quit here lately to save up for a new tractor but couldn't turn down this for $35
Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
A well spent $35.
Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Excellent decision, mikeb...the new tractor can wait a bit longer, but for $35 you really couldn't let that beautiful Case 75 get away. Nice score!

Here's an interesting and unique single-blade 6154W Wharncliffe Trapper (4 1/8"...not to be confused with the Tiny Trapper model _ _154) with Green Crows Foot Jigged Bone. According to James Parker (aka silverladdie), this model never made it into production.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Wow is that cool jigging and color, and what a cool concept. Killlllllllls me how often the coolest patterns, or jigging like crows feet and colors like that somehow don't make it into production when all these bubble gum colored patterns and re-run-of-the-mill blade choices do. That is the coolest full sized single blade trapper I have EVER seen. If Case put out more cool stuff like that I would buy their knives. But alas, they don't make it anymore. They quit, didn't put it in production, phased it out, ended the pattern or whatever. I cannot for the life of me figure that one out. Totally inexplicable to me.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Q, that is a real peach. It's a shame they never put them into regular production; they'd probably sell like hotcakes.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
It's great looking. Too bad it got cheated out of its other 4 blades! (I'd add little yellow guys poking each other with sticks if I knew how.) One of these years I'll buy a _ _54 Wharncliffe with less than 3 blades but it's still going to have a second blade. _ _54s carry best in leather belt pouches so, for me, thickness is not undesirable. If I had to carry _ _54s in Hawain shorts I might see it differently. What's the date? I'm wondering if it was made while Jim Parker owned case or how he knows it was not produced.
BTW, if you wonder about such things, if they do not have fat stag _354s fit in regular Case Trapper Pouches but 5554s require SAK pouches.

When the volcano blows, no use running. Won't save ya. And the volcano blew these clear across the Pacific from Hawaii to Washington's western shores. Beauties for sure, can't believe the waves and stripes of color in the green wood on the TDrop. And can believe, but still always love a good green bone on the Mini Trapper. Absolute beauties to me. And even better because they used to be Q's. So not only great knives, but some nostalgia and affection and brotherhood above and beyond just great knives. Thanks Q. Loving all over them already. Mmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnn.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Picked this one up a couple days ago. I’m not a Case collector but usually collect older knives. Really do like this one!! Tested XX. Thanks for looking and any thoughts or comments.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Cudgee it’s 1920-1940 date range. It was really out of my wheelhouse but you know how that goes when you see a knife you really like. Thanks for asking.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Wow, that's a fine one!
What is the pattern number of your Case whittler? Is this one called a split spring whittler?
Love seeing older knives, especially Case knives that we don't see everyday.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Thanks Phil, it doesn’t have a pattern number on the blade but I believe it’s considered a 5308 split spring. Thanks again.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Thanks, Bill. I now see it in the the book. One of the price guides show there were 7 different handle offerings for the 08 pattern in the 1920-1940 time period. You've got a lot of collecting to do!
Congratulations!

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Thanks Phil, I don’t have any books just for Case knives. I don’t collect any particular maker, but I really like the older Case but usually out of my price range? If you get time to check what would be a fair value of the whittler in the book you have if you have the time?Thanks again Phil
