I bought this Case Tested knife without a pattern number on the tang and I wanted to see if you all can help me identify the pattern number please. I think it is a Whittler but I am not sure.
Thank you very much for your help.

Re: Unidentified Case Tested
Looks like a 83 Whittler, tested era knives usually don’t have pattern numbers. There will be others with more information. Harold

Re: Unidentified Case Tested
If it measures 3 1/2" closed it is a 6383SAB pattern whittler as Harold says. Nice looking survivor!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

That's the way they came from the factory.
