Case Fixed Blade Knife and Sheath no ID
Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2010 5:41 am
Hello,
I regret to say I know nothing about knives except for practical use. However I recently got a CASE knife from my sister and I was curious about how old it was but it doesn't have any ID # on the tang? Not sure if that terminology still applies to fixed blade knives as I've only seen that term with fold out knives in my searches. It was my Grandfather's and he passed in 1981, my Grandmother continued to use it in her sewing kit until she passed. My sister got her sewing kit and recently gave me the knife as she knew it use to be my Grandfathers and we were very close so she wanted me to have it and I really appreciate it.
Sorry if my pictures aren't the best its so shiny its hard to capture good, The knife is just shy of 7.5 inches and the blade is 4 inches
If anyone has any information on its year or years of manufacture/issue or original intended use and history I thank you in advance, have a great day.
