From AAPK, Pattern 028:
Case has manufactured at least two distinct knives with this pattern number.
* The company's most recent version is a 3 1/2" serpentine style jack knife. Most have a clip and pen blade, and a 1/2 after the pattern number (when there is a pattern number). Some versions have been produced with a punch blade.Case discontinued them sometime before 1964.
*The other 028 pattern is a teardrop style jack knife that was manufactured with a spear and clip blade. I'm not sure of the exact size, but they are considerably smaller than the other 028 pattern described above.
I would have to say it's a phony. In that time period Case used pinned shields and I can't find anywhere that in that period they stamped pattern numbers on their knives. The 028 pattern is called a serpentine dogleg jack.
IvarsDay, I agree with you, I haven't either, looking forward to hearing what our Case experts have to say about this knife.
Time for the old Tadpole to come back!
I didn't buy those....I wish! Those are pictures of "SOLD" Tadpoles! LOL! I'll buy a new one when they bring it back! LOL!
