Is this an original Case Classic?

Hey Guys,

Is this an original Case Classic? I thought they ran from 1990 to '98

Hey Bonehead,

Yes sir, that is a Case Classic clasp knife .... one of the more plentiful ones as there were 1400 made according to Buzz Parker

[bonehead]

Must be having a brain F***t. It is a 1990.

Thanks

A Classic for sure; but asking price seems high to me. Several have sold on eBay for a lot less.

I agree, a litttle high on the price.

It is number 4 if that makes any difference.

It says that only 50 were serialized and 2,000 were made. (Someone said 1,400 in this post.)

I don't collect them, or have any desire to. But I thought that would be important to someone who does.

Yeah it was such a bad day I didn't even realize I had one. Gave $147 for it. I guess the Registered Case on the bolster made that one more special. Not for me 1 of 1400 is fine.

Hey Bonehead,

Nice looking knife ..... but Sarah & Tommy from HGTV would question your background color of blue with the hues of the knife ....

Of course I hope you know I'm joking ... us guys don't give a crap about background colors.

Deanmm56, LOL,

Yes a good chuckle, its the same pics off the bay were I picked it up. Your right I don't see that stuff.....

My plan one day is to get nice pics of my collection one at time and assign a numerical number to them. This way when I pass then on one day the godson will know what they are.

[deanmm56]

My collection is earmarked for my granddaughter ...... I've indexed them all and laid out a spreadsheet that she can use to figure cost vs. book value 20 years from now ..... don't have a lot of them ... probably 60-70 Classics.

hey bonehead,

Here's an Ebay site ..... Same knife, less the 1 of 40 for $150.00 .... could be had for a little less I think.

Mr.Haney seems to be very "proud" of alot of his knives.
