Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Very recently this pocket knife joined my collection. It is one of my "GRAIL" pocket knives. It is a CASE, single blade pocket knife, with a cap lifter/bottle opener. I haven't decided if I'm going to replace the missing blade guard/spacer in the handle. This particular CASE pocket knife pattern was manufactured by Schrade in the Bridgeport Connecticut plant. I gave it a minor cleaning, took some pictures and here it is. The last picture is from a 1934 catalog and explains the three CASE wire handle/frame patterns. Now to find the other two CASE patterns.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Thank you JP.
The answers to your questions might be in this article:

Very informative and NOT very long. It also shows the various tang stamps.
Stay safe yourself.
Thank you very much Floyd.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Down the road from me is a small general hardware store that is family owned and not part of a chain, which is uncommon now-a-days. The owner and his son usually order a few knives to keep in their display. I don't know who they order from, but they're mostly Case and usually have some good deals. I went by there to pick up some silicone sealant & some painters tape, and while there thought I would check out his knives on hand.
Walked out the door with this one. A New in Box, 2019 Case 130th Anniversary CXXX 62009-1/2 Barlow in the Golden Antique Bone. It has the Bomb shield with CXCASEXX stamping & Case CXXX tang stamp. The color of the Bone Got to me. Had to have it. Plus... out the door price was $48.

Nice! You rarely see knives at hardware stores here in my area; and even if you do, they're usually something super-cheap. Farm Bureau (a tiny chain, of about 4-5 stores if I recall) recently dropped Case for Chinese Schrades and True Utility (which are crap). Our local building supply/Ace (who doesn't really carry as much as Ace stores do; focusing on building supply) doesn't have a knife display (and I haven't really browsed the store good enough to see if they had them someplace else--but I've started going there instead of Lowe's), but our local State Electric does have some Klein knives in the tool display behind the counter.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
WOW, great score. The bone got me, and i'm thousands of miles away. I would rather pay $48 for that, than the price of an unattainable brand that shall remain nameless.

Wow, such beautiful bone for that price...I can't imagine passing it up either (despite not being an 07 or having a Wharncliffe blade). Nice score, Smitty.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 12:15 am The color of the Bone Got to me. Had to have it. Plus... out the door price was $48.

Re: Newest Case Pick-Ups
Appreciate it G Dog!!
Thanks Treefarmer
I know what you mean Cody. Our Ace Hardware Stores used to carry knives, but not anymore. Around my area, about the only stores with any name brand knives are a few of the Shooting Sports stores, and Tractor Supply.cody6268 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 1:05 am
