Almost a real prize, a Case XX 6225 1/2

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Almost a real prize, a Case XX 6225 1/2

Post by treefarmer »

This "Baby Coke" came in the mail yesterday. It appears to have factory edges and non authorized rust, along with perfect bone handles. The pile side is a lighter color than the mark side. Been working on the rust with the #2 pencil and sadly there is some pitting, more on the pen than the clip. I still consider it a prize with the XX stamp.

:lol: I still carry in the rfp when I wear my bibs but for several years now the knife and keys go in the lfp as my rfp is inaccessible due to the position of my ccw. :) (code talk for knifers only)
