Case WILL replace Celluloid handles, for a cost. I can't remember how much they charge, it would also depend on the size of the knife. BUT, they will only use a current production Delrin for replacement. Several members over at the Case Collectors Club Forum have done that with Celluloid handles that started heading south.
Question for you knife experts out there. I have a Case Christmas Tree toothpick with a sabre grind. I love the blade and handles, it was one of the first knives I got when I started collecting a couple years ago and it wasn't mint when I got it. I'm concerned because, from what I'm told, the celluloid scales can start deteriorating (I live in FL where it's humid) and gassing out, which will harm not only the Case knife but anything around it including the steel. If you look at where the handles meet the bolsters, you can see a bit of shrinkage, but also discoloration, especially on the far right photo. SO, what can I or should I do and should I be concerned? I printed out a form to send it back to Case, but I don't know what they'd do to it or what to expect or even to ask. Would they change out the handles for acrylic ones or corelon ones? This is just a bit out of my experience. Any advice would be great.
THE KNIFE IN THE PHOTO IS SILVER SCRIPT AND PART OF A SET. WE HAVE THE SET. BUT AN EARLIER EDITION
I know where you are Jon I have a database that is a constant work in progress but it sure makes things easier to find and identify....it also helps if you are like me and a lot OCD!!!! lol I don't have much information but don't mind to dig for you in any way I can.
Thank you so much Mr. Turner ! I really appreciate it. What a great "collection" of people we have here at ikc.com ! I worked through several more batches of my collection last night and discovered several more pieces for which I have no box, and no item number. So I will be reaching out again to the great folks in this group for help with more item numbers. When I'm finished with all of the photos of the displays as well as the comprehensive catalog, I will be posting all of it right here for everybody to enjoy. Thanks again - Jon S.
Hello Friends - I have a 2004 Case 6355-WH-SS Seahorse Whittler with bright red jigged bone handles, and the "Long-Tail C" Silverscript inlaid "Case" logo in the handle. It is blade etched "First Run" and accordingly, has no box. I'm trying (so far in vain) to locate the ITEM NUMBER which Case used for this piece (with the RED jigged bone handles) when it went into production in 2004. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to "catalog" my entire Case collection, including "year-appropriate / handle material correct" Item numbers. Thanks in advance for any help with this. Best - JS
Have you seen the 2016 Collaboration from shot?
