[Modern Slip Joints]

Regarding my statement that out gassing usually only occurs in older knives, I stand corrected. However, as you might infer from my screen name, my view of "older" is a lot younger than Mumbleypeg's and other collectors of less modern slip joints. I have considered buying a new Rough Ryder celluloid tortoise shell knife to carry around in my pocket. Their 440B should hold an edge longer than the 440A in most Rough Ryders. My guess is you wouldn't worry about it corroding tool steel in my pocket for ... 20 years? I might not last that long myself.

I'd like to see a good picture of the Christmas Tree celluloid Bulldog that got this discussion started. Since it's in a collectors' box my best guess is that it is a Queen made late 1980s or early 1990s Case Classic.

Between his two threads Aintright has posted a lot of other interesting Case knives. I like Case Changers. I don't often see them on this site. They're not even in the research section's Pattern Name or Pattern Number Reference Guides. He's shown a couple including one with 6.5 Bone Stag. He's also shown some 5 blade Cases I like, a Big Nut, a Red Stag Viper, and blue bone and second cut stag Beasts. Five blade Tiny and Mini-Trappers would round out the collection. The stag Kodiac looks great too.

Thank-you for treating us to a peek at your collection.

Thank You so much

[BIGHEAD]

Do you see the front of the blade. The top part when it is closed has carbon spotting and not below where the blade is behind the liner when closed. That is caused by outgassing. Also the tarnish on the shield.

[Modern Slip Joints]

Thank you for posting the pictures I requested of your Bulldog.While I did not want them to inspect it for out gassing I did see the same thing as BIGHEAD. I waited for a member more expert than me to post the bad news first.

So, out of all those fabulous knives one needs new side covers and perhaps its blade repolished. I've bought knives with worse problems more than once. I bought a stag large swing guard Coke bottle in which the spring that tensioned its back lock was broken. Case's repair shop wrote they could not repair it because they no longer had the part. Since Case couldn't honor their lifetime warranty they offered to give me a free buffalo horn Cheetah. They were not making any stag knives and Cheetahs were the closest size they had with fancy handles. I'd mail the Bulldog to Case's repair shop and learn what help they'll provide before hiring an after market repairman. Case wants happy Case collectors, especially ones who buy as many Case knives as you.

Now I'm going back to admiring your knives.

Been through that with celluloid and case wants nothing to do with it.

[Mumbleypeg]

The knife is a Case Classic, made by Queen. I doubt that Case repair will work on it but you could ask. Worst they can do is say “no”. They likely do not have celluloid either, so if they do repair it they would likely need to put some other kind of covers on it. You probably wouldn’t want celluloid anyway but you might find some similar acrylic material.

Looks to me like a job right up Barry’s (BIGHEAD’s) alley. But there are others here that could do a re-handle and buff, too.

Ken

Oops looks like Barry was typing at the same time as me, and already knows the answer.

[Modern Slip Joints]

If you recently bought the Bulldog through ebay then, depending on how the "item" was described, it might be possible to return it.

However it winds up getting new side covers it will not be a great collectable. However, I get the most pleasure out of knives that are not to special to use and its basic 1095 carbon steel works great for me.

Thank You. I was hoping to get some advise on it. I guess I need to contact Case in order to find out where to send it.

I don't plan on using any out of my collection so maybe I'll just keep it by Itself and show it from time to time. Degassing is not harmful healthwise is it? If that the case(no pun intended) then i'll have to get rid of it

That's what I need to know ty sir.Don't guess i will contact case afterall

[Aintright]

Heelo all just so ya'll will know i'm still collecting made a video but it's to large to add any suggestions?

[Aintright]

Not sure of the year of this one do you?

[1SamIam]

Not sure of the year of this one do you?

Been a bit!

Interesting looking knives.

[Collector123]

Wow! That’s a beautiful collection!!!!

[Mumbleypeg]

Not sure of the year of this one do you?

If you will turn those knives in your pictures to the opposite side and show the stamp on their ricassos someone here can probably tell the age. Until 1965 stamps on Case fixed blade knives were different than those used on pocket knives. However since 1965 they are the same. The pictured knives look to be more recently made (than 1965) in which case you can determine the age from the Case pocket knife age identification charts here in the research section. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... tification

That’s a really impressive collection and a lot of care going into displaying them. Well done!
