Some really nice ones everyone! Here are a couple of my old Utica's that have some pretty bone on them..IMG_0002 (1).JPG

Man those are sweet bones. Utica rocks, love the jigging, the rat tail bolsters, the EZO, the spears. Man those are the kind.

Lama, Big H, those two are beauties. Really some great bones out there and love seeing everyone's contribution to the cool thread.

I'm with you, Iman! I think we have very similar tastes. You're knives are just champagne, and mine are PBR!

That's the kind. Killer jigging, great color, hafting didn't ruin the ends. EXCELLENT.

"Case Secret Code"

1/2 ... clip blade
L ... locking blade
Looks like jig bone to me. Knice score

I think it’s kinda a bummer that they use the same number for bone & Delrin since those two can be difficult to tell apart. But that’s the way they do it.
I also think you have bone & nice bone at that.

Thank you Ivoryman. Age hasn’t taken anything away from them, either.

Yeah, I agree! It would make figuring them out soooo much easier!

Thanks - I will go with your assessment and tell myself that it's definitely bone

If that's not bone, that's the best looking delrin ever made! Also, not sure what year they started, but many older delrin knives didn't have the oval around the Case logo on the shield. like this.. This isn't always true, but many times it is. That being said, I've never seen one with the oval that was delrin..Not my picture, btw..

Thanks so much Kerry, my confidence level is going up a lot on this one now. Good tips, so thanks for that too! It's crazy how so many of you can spot these things that I otherwise would not even think to look for.

You should be confident, that's a beautiful Cheetah! And believe me, I only know enough to be dangerous. You can never stop learning in our hobby!

Kim,
In case you didn't know, the 7 dots make that beautiful 6111 1/2 a 1973 model.

Bucket knives from Ky, wonder where he got his bone.

Bighomer, those are fantastic! I'm not familiar with the term "bucket knife", what does it mean? Here I am at 63 still trying to learn something.
Thanks in advance.

I've shown these in other threads, all are counterfeit, the story goes that there a man in Ky that made knives and put them in a bucket went to knife shows all over the country and sold them. There is several people that have made comments about said feller on aapk. These are supposed to be some that he produced, shame he didn't just put his name on them and sell them.

Oh wow! I guess I missed those threads. Thanks for the explanation. Are the tangs marked? I need to watch out for those. They sure are pretty, and I love equal end jacks. Thanks again!

Fascinating info, never heard that one before, thanks for the lesson. I wonder the same thing, why not put your own name on them, or make up a maker instead of fake someone else's? Then they would be legit instead of counterfeit. Here's three in that vein. Excellent bones, perfect transtions, great walk and talk, sweet action, everything flush and even, smooth and tight. Fabulous knives. Way better than the last few Case knives I bought, and then returned or got rid of. These two, the Bridge and the Elder are said to be fake, but man are they sweethearts.

Look nice, Iman!

[bighomer]

I-man those are fine looking knives, some folk say destroy them but I can't bring myself to do that. There was a lot of work that went into them and they are just pretty to look at.

Another "WOW" from this peanut gallery, Iman!

Thanks so much for the info, Bighomer. I'm sure you've told this story too many times. I'll try to keep up from now on!
