Re: Why no love for the 6214?
Just looked in "Steve's book" and noticed the 6214 with a clip should be stamped 6214 1/2. Learn somthin' everyday, now if I could just remember all this good information. (the #9 Trader's even lists a 5214 1/2 in the Tested era.)

A good user would be fun too!
I'm hunting one of those as well. Love the 10 dot knives. knifeaholic has a 10 dot delrin for sale but it's far from mint. It would make a nice user and the price is right.
Re: Why no love for the 6214?
What a difference a few weeks make. Since my original post I have acquired two more little beauties from the XX era. Shown here in a picture with the original one I showed here a few weeks back. Found these while looking for a 10 dot that WinchesterM21 got me thinking about. That one is out there too, just elusive to this point.

Well rugmar, you're hooked. There's no hope for you!
All three are great looking.

Re: Why no love for the 6214?
You know treefarmer, you may be right. My wife agrees with you for sure.
I’m not convinced it’s a bad thing though. We could have hobbies that we spend more time and money doing and not have anything to show for our time. Like golf for instance
It is amazing how much my interest in knives has increased just since I made the decision to display my accumulation. That was back at the first of the year and now I think about knives much more than I have in years and I been accumulating them for 40 years or so. I guess I am hooked dogonnit!!

Re: Why no love for the 6214?
Actually you need two 10 dots if you want both knives made in 1970'. They made bone and also a delrin knife that year and mint ones are not an easy snag.Winchester M21 wrote:I like them!! I need a near mint 10 dot for my collection!

I had both mint but I gifted one to another collector to fill a 10 Dot collection. Still have a pic of both here somewhere.
I agree. Great Jack pattern.

1974 6214-1/2 Delrin and a 1970 6214 jigged bone. I infrequently carry the 1974 but have never carried the 1970 (prefer the Clip main blade to the Spear). OH

Old Hunter,
I feel some envy creeping in my friend.
I love that 10 dot with the spear blade
Thanks for showing those two. I too would carry that delrin handled knife in a skinny minute.

Rugmar, thank you. Looks like you have done pretty well yourself - those are some nice Case jacks you have. OH

Re: Why no love for the 6214?
I guess the lack of love is guys like me who focus on late model Case knives don’t know much about that discontinued pattern. I have a similar 6202-1/2 which is a fantastic jack !
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee
