I have a question, I hope ya'll can help me with. One of my fathers knives is a 3 1/4" Premium Jack Case. The tang stamp has CASE [over] XX , I checked the age of this tang stamp it has 1940-1964. The number stamp is 22087, when I check this pattern number is shows 1976-1977. I am fairly sure the knife was bought way before 1976 or 77. Please any help, will be appreciated. Thanks

When I get time I will call Fred at Case and find out about the sod buster.

That was my suggestion to Fred to keep the scales or handles simple with a composite of black, OD green or dark brown. Here is a place which sells Case knives as cheap as anyone. No liner lock trappers but you can request and he will order them. http://www.888knivesrus.com/

Those are good suggestions Tobias. Do we have any other suggestions out there from Case fans? Let me hear from you....everyone's opinion is welcome.

Fred said they have some things in the works so I guess we will have to wait and see. Thanks for the great pics. My trapper liner lock has the pocket clip. This knife carries very well in my front jean pocket. I don't even know it is there till I reach for it. I have used it to cut wood, open boxes and cut tomatoes. I clean the blade after each use and wipe with a protective coat.
Yes, Steve. Too bad they discontinued the large yellow Sodbuster.
case collector club
In 1972, Dewey Ferguson, a Case knife collector and author, wrote to Case President Bob Farquharson about forming a knife collectors association for the W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company. The Case Collectors Club (CCC) was established in 1981. A newsletter was introduced in March of that year to formalize communications between Case and its Club members. The first edition of the newsletter was in black and white and had eight pages. During the same year, the first Case Collectors Club Annual Club Knife, an Appaloosa Bone Large Trapper (A6151 SSP), was made available to Club members. The club began with 426 Charter Members in 1981. Today, there are nearly 18,000 members. Ferguson was listed on Case's "Wall of Fame" in 2001.
