Ditto, Jan.

I am looking to see if you all are receiving your emails when someone posts here
Thanks very much Mr. Hines - any ideas about the various names, "Bulldog", "Buffalo", "Clasp"? Are they the same knife pattern with different blade etchings? Thanks again for the help. Best - Jon
5172 should be Stag
6172 should be bone
First, I want to thank everyone in this group who has helped me along the way in my Case XX knife collecting - the level of knowledge and experience of many of the members in this group reminds me of the "Genius Counter" at the Apple store (only better!!). This question will probably be an easy one for some here - in the realm of the Case "Clasp Knife" I have come across 2 patterns : the 5172 and the 6172. Some are called "The Buffalo", others "The Bulldog", still others "Case Classics Clasp", but I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to which pattern numbers are associated with the various names. As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks is advance. - Jon
A new Trapper. That's right, I said Trapper, not Peanut. LOL!

Don Grump01,
Glad that I sorta know someone who actually won a S.H. lottery. Sad to know you hardly had a chance to hold it in your hand before you had to give it up.
Yeah I couldn't remember which shield it had.
Actually just located the email from Case Customer Relations confirming that they had never made the Peanut pattern in the Navy Blue Bone w/ Red Shield - it was dated 7/16/2013.
Hey Mr. Hines - There happens to be one of the 2010 CCC Blue Bone Peanuts for sale on Ebay right now, and it does not have the red shield - it has the Case Collectors Club shield in steel grey. I haven't been able to locate the email I received back from Case when I inquired about whether or not they ever made the Peanut pattern in the Navy Blue Bone / Red Shield configuration - I just remember that the answer from Case was a definitive "No" - but I'd have to guess it was about 12-18 months ago. I suppose it is possible that they have made them since then, but I've never seen them in either the SHC or SMKW catalogs. Cheers - Jon
