Case Christmas Tree Jigged Seahorse Whittler...

Please help an old person. I am dying... a little every day. Only you can help and make my life happier. I have been looking for a Case Seahorse Whittler with the Christmas tree jigged scales. It was a SFO for Smokey Mountain Knife Works in 2002. I have all the other ones with that jig, plus a couple that slipped through Case's hands without a shield.
Please help... You're my last hope for a complete and happy life.
LTA... Ujcle Jim

It looks like this, but with pine trees jigged into the handle.

Good luck, Gary. Have fun. I had some surgery yesterday and haven't been on this thing in 3 days. I almost can't remember how to use it!
Take care, my friend...

Well, THAT sucks! I saw a few on eBay in '02, but I don't remember them being for sale by the same person. Well, you tried. And for that, I thank you. I hope I can return the favor some day.

Even I don't have one of these and I designed them. Where on earth did you find this one? I would almost bet you that this is a counterfeit. This knife even has my exclusive shield.

Brian... ; )
Now... since you probably know, tell me about the Christmas Tree jigged bone in different patterns withOUT the shield.
I had one at Bradford last year, in my display, and Tom generously offered to take it inside and have a shield put on it. I told him thanks, but no thanks. He laughed. It was a doctor's knife. Since then, I have picked up several more without the XX shield. I think I have just about all of them with the shield, and several patterns without the shield.
I DO have one authentic Seahorse (without the shield). But that's a story for another time.
