Hey there fellow Case Fans! I'm still trying to get some info on which Case Knife was originally sold with the 6" leather, folding knife, belt sheath that came with  the portrait of Granddaddy Case embosed on it? I recently purchased one to accompany my recently acquired '77 Blue Scroll Case XX double blade Folding Hunter and it fits like a glove. Funny thing is that I doubt this knife was ever sold with a sheath at all, which seems strange as it is a rather cumbersome knife to carry in one's pocket?  The same with my '75 Case XX Folding Bull Dog Clasp knife with "Buffalo" embossed on the blade. That one came in a wood box. Again, no sheath.

On the other hand, sometime back I bought a 2001 SMK, Case XX Blue Stag Hammerhead Lockback which came with a plain 6" leather folding knife sheath. This knife practically rattles around in it's plain sheath (no portrait of "Granddaddy" & could fit in your pocket with reasonable comfort so, do any of you fellow Case affectionados have any idea which knives might have originally accompanied either of these similar light tan leather sheaths? 

If anyone knows any history on this, I'd sure love to know? Thanks!

I reckon it's time I join the Case Fans Group being that I've been a Case collector & user since the early '60's when I was a kid plus my knife collection contains a goodly number of Case knives (both fixed blade & folding) and I'm still buying Case XX along with other quality & usually American made brands. On top of that, I'm also a member of the Case Collectors Club so I can't deny that I like their products & service very much.

I recently purchased a 1977 Case XX Blue Scroll, 2 blade, stag handle, Folding Hunter on eBay which I am waiting to get. The knife comes with neither box nor sheath and I would like to obtain the proper belt sheath for this knife as I imagine they must have come with one originally? My question is whether this would have been the std. 6" leather sheath with the picture of "Granddaddy Case" embossed on it or the plain tan leather sheath currently being sold with Hammerhead Lockbacks or something even different since the afore mentioned would have been a tight fit, I imagine.

Please remember that I'm trying to find the same kind of sheath that was actually sold with that particular knife if any sheath were usually provided at all? Any help on this matter from y'all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That is a great looking copperlock.

I haven't posted here in a while. I thought I would post some pictures of my latest Case purchase.I got this one from Silverladdie on Ebay. I am thinking it was rehandled with the MOP. Check the tang stamp and let me know what you think. Anyway, the pinched bolsters and MOP make this a nice looking Congress. Congress patterns are not one of my favorite patterns, But I thought this one was nice and I bought it fairly cheap.
