Case knife

Post by old Ron »

Hi ...... new guy to the forum here.
Hoping to learn a bit about knives that I have collected over the years .
First thing will be learning how some of the things work on this site . :D
I have a Boy Scout folder that I would like to know a bit more about . I have no idea yet how to post a picture on here so will describe the best I can .
It is a Case ..... no X ..... all metal handle ...... boy scout with a flag on one side & camping seen on the other .... 4 blade .

Thanks for any help !
Ron

Hope those are showing up .
On my computer it just shows jpegs .
A little background on me ........ I collected as a kid a few knives but was more into guns then .
My dad was a avid collector of guns .... knives & all sorts of things as I am now .
Dad passed away this year so now I have some of his collection to add to mine .
I didn't keep up with knives like he did so now I am way behind on knowing knives & who made them & what year they were made . As with my guns I like to know those things about the things I have . I plan to make a display of his & mine along with things mom collected too . I built a building this year at my land in the country to do just that . I only have the shell up but it is weather tight for now & next summer I will get back at it. So the plan is for the winter months to learn about his knives & work on some rescue guns & things I have . I don't know if I can talk a bit about other things or just knives on this forum so if I break the rules it is not intentional and will try to stay on topic as best my mind will let me . :oops:

Ron, your photos did not show. The knife you are describing is a rare and desirable Case knife if original and in good shape, we would all love to see the pics. Please try again. P.S. you can talk about almost anything here, folks show off their other collecting interests on occasion.

Welcome to AAPK. If you want to know how more about the site I recommend you start here https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/knife_forum/ which is the forum homepage. Scroll through the list of the numerous sub-forums. Up at the top you’ll find links to the Research section where you can access a lot if useful info about several popular brands.

Your pictures did not post so something went wrong. Try again, it’s not difficult but like most computer things it has to be done a certain way. From the description your knife sounds like a Case M445R. There are numerous posts here about that pattern, lots of pictures and information. Which brings me to one of the most useful features of AAPK, the “Search” capability. You’ll find it under Quick links to the upper left of your posts. Click on Quick links then scroll down to Search. Open that, type in what you want to search for, and submit.

Have fun, look around, click on stuff - you can’t break anything!

Can’t wait to see what you have. BTW in the All Scout Knives thread you’ll find a lot of info about your scout knife and its fraternal twin from Challenge Cutlery. This is just one of many posts there viewtopic.php?f=35&t=12874&hilit=Scout& ... 45#p516554

Thanks Guys !
I have 4 shops now & they all are a mess & 2 of them just built this year & not done yet ...... but full of toys & my treasures . :oops:
I am a recovering pack rat .
I don't know what type of pictures I am aloud to post so I don't want to break the forum rules by loading pictures of my shops & projects that are not all about knives . Have learned that the hard way on here .
Soon as I see my moon knife again I will snap a pic of that . You all have probably seem them but it brings back memories to me of when I was a lot younger & bought it . When I was living with my parents dad had it on the wall & over the years kept putting price tags on it . He wanted me to sell it . When I got out of the Army I bought my own house & the moon knife went on my wall . When I was digging my knives out of the attic dad stopped by & looking over my collection of things . After he went home I was putting things away ....... there was a price tag on my moon knife again ! ::doh::

There’s probably a place here for pictures of everything, as long as they’re G rated. :lol: I’d recommend spending a little time looking around here, after which it will become fairly clear where they should go. There’s always the Pictures of Miscellaneous Stuff and Things thread if in doubt. ::tu:: You’ll find it in the General Off-topic sub-forum. viewforum.php?f=21

Some of the custom knifes I have I know the maker but not when it was made . Others I have with no name ...... those will be tough to track down . I bought them at knife shows & met the guys that made it & thought I would never forget ::shrug::

Nice! Don’t see those first models often. Case called them the Astronaut Knife because it (or a version of it) was carried as a survival knife on early manned space shots. I bought three of them back in the 70s when they came out. Still have two, sold the other one for enough to pay for all of them.

Hey Ron,
Curious what $$ price was on the last price tag it had on it? ::hmm::

Cool knife in original pkg. Collector piece for sure. Nice! ::tu:: Apparently, hoarding can sometimes be rewarding (wish I had hoarded more cool stuff instead of all the junk I am constantly throwing out now!).

The last tag Dad stuck on it was $900 .
Guess he was still tempting me to sell it .
He did that a lot with my guns too . :roll:
I almost hated to show him some new things I came across . He would grab things & say you don't need this .... I'll take it . ::doh::
When I bought a few estates ...... both Mom & Dad was all over it ! :lol: They always paid me ..... what I paid for things they wanted . It was a good time for all .
Over the years people have told me why do you buy junk ?
Thing is if you keep some junk long enough ...... it is worth a few bucks .
I bought a truck load of penny scales years ago for around $20 each . The last one I sold was for $2000 .
The two I kept had great stories behind them .
And then there is horse trading ....... to me that is the most fun of all . My parents taught me all about that . Over the years I have developed my own style of trading . People would want a large item I have & was willing to trade me a good small item they had ...... like good knives . Knives take up way less room than a juke box ...... yep I traded .
