What do I have

Post by Jinsail »

Can't find enough information on this case knife. Hoping someone has more information than I am finding

Welcome here, Jinsail.
It appears you have a Bradford whittler.
I believe the 1/2 on the blade tang number tells you it has a clip blade.
I hope you get more help than my meager and ill informed response offers.
Sometimes a brand name in the title will be your friend.

Nice old knife!

Thanks Joe
The case marks I couldn't match up correctly. Hopefully more to come

Signs point to failing celluloid be careful with that one.
To those who fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected ones will never know.

This knife is not celluloid.

The partially shown secondary blade should be a sheepsfoot. If not there’s something amiss. First knife I’ve seen that says only BRADFORD on the second line without PA. on a third line. Others I’ve seen say BRADFORD PA. on the second line, or have a third line saying PA. All have PA on the stamp somewhere. (This one could have PA. hidden under the bolster). ::shrug::

Hopefully Tom McCandless and others with more knowledge of older (pre-TESTED era) Case knives will see this knife and comment on it.

Can’t add any help, Jinsail, but it’s a fine looking classic!

As per Houston Price's "Guide", that knife in mint condition was a high dollar item, $450 in 1991. Of course, condition is everything, but, it's still a very desirable piece. Nice old pocket-worn stag. ::tu:: Good luck with it. J.O'.
