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.

Hi All! Thought I'd stop by and drop a few bits 'o Case-related news. I met two interesting "Case people" at the recent Northeast Cutlery Collectors Assoc. (NCCA, ck out our iKC group) show down in Marlboro, MA:

1) Steve Pfeiffer who wrote THE BOOK -- a/k/a "Collecting Case Knives: Identification and Price Guide". I somehow remembered to stick my copy of the book in the Subaru and Steve was gracious enough to inscribe and sign it for me. AND THEN! I bought a Pattern 6246 rigging knife from Steve ...the icing on that cake is that the knife is one of the two 46's used to illustrate Steve's book.

2) Since I'd joined the NCCA everyone had been telling me there was "another guy from Maine who collects rigging knives." Well, I finally got to shake hands with Mike Mainen at the Show. Mike's a lot smarted than me -- he limits his collecting to ONLY Case riggers 1970 and earlier.

My latest Case acquisition is a bit of Holiday fun -- a special "Magician" RussLock. The handle on one side is dark red bone, and on the other there's bright green. It is "magical" when you slap the knife from one hand to the other -- does look like the handles have changed color right before your eyes. lol

Hope you're all having a good weekend!
