I like the family Gerald.

 The Cheetahs are probably all I am going to get.

That's them, Gerald. I haven't recieved them yet.That's one of my favorite case patterns next to the toenail and trapper.

Thanks Max. I  forgot that I joined that about a year ago. I haven't been in there very often since joining. I did get my name  picked in the drawing for the spring promotion for the Cheetah set. I'll be glad when it gets here. Thats the first time in 4 tries that I actually was able to get one of the promotions.

Hey AO:

you ask, "What years did Case make knives with 4 dots?"

The quick answer is "1976, 1986 and 1996" -- to know which year applies you have to look at the rest of the tang stamp as Case switched designs at least at the start of every decade -- see: Dating Case Knives -- they'd start with 10 dots and remove one each year. Beginning in 2000 they began using a mix of dots and X's (5 of each to start with).

 

The whole annual dating thing was a stroke of genius ...from Case's standpoint ;-)  For example, I collect riggers and they only sold 2 or 3 different styles of "marlin spike folders" (Case Pattern No. 46) and so I might have gotten off just collecting 3 Case rigging knives. But, they introduce the dating and changing tang stamp design and now I'm looking for a knife from each decade: pre-1970, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and 2000-teens ...and then, early on, Case riggers were made with, and without, real bone handles (well, I gotta have one of each, right!?).

 

I bet I own AT LEAST a dozen Case riggers that, to the un-educated eye, all look identical. ...genius!  LOL   :-(

 

...I'm having so much fun!

Great Sportsman set Gary.   I've got the Ka-bar variation and would love to someday have a Case variation like this one to add to my collection of fixed blades.  Let me know should you ever wish to part with it.
