Oh my goodness! I bought my first Case today. A beautiful blue med. Stockman. I feel like I've never owned a real knife prior to this! I'm carrying it. There's no way I can leave this little treasure sequestered in its box. I am sooooooo happy!
Here's several new handle materials Case is coming out with this Summer.......of course I'm showing just the Peanut but there's a number of patterns for each one. And yes, I'm getting all of the Peanuts. ;-)
Black Cherry Bone, Burnt Amber Bone, Gray Sycamore Wood, Rough Olive Green Synthetic, Red Sparkle Kirinite.
Yesterday at SMKW was fun, but I have learned my lesson LOL. I need to do as I did when I was travelling from Tampa. Come in on Friday during the day and attend the dinner get together. I missed seeing everyone and i got there at 1045am on Saturday
I have a question about a Case xx, 1983 lightning s trapper pattern 3254 that has a white bone slab on the shield side and a yellow delrin slab on the obverse side. Looks like stainless see no cv mark on it. Any and all info is appreciated. It has not been sharpened or used but a a small crack at the center pin on the bone side, bolsters are a little discolored from storage and handling along with a couple of slight rust spots (spit marks) on blades. Just wondering how many were made and what price point then and now.
This was item #75 at the Bruce Voyles Auction last night in Sieverville. There are 6 drawers in the back, 2 of which where unlocked. The drawers rattled something around in them but we couldnt unlock them! I have an email into the buyer. I would LOVE to know whats hidden in those 4 drawers. If I get an answer I will share it with you
I hope this is not the last one they do also. I dont think it was the best pattern for selling as many as they wanted. Want to sell a bunch? Sell teardrops LOL
All in All, this is one very good looking toothpick!
I would agree Jan. I am not sure how it got so many votes. It is the forum members who vote on the pattern. Maybe they were thinking it would be cheaper (it actually was the lowest price forum knife I have gotten from Case). I guess we will see what next year brings in the fall. I do like the looks of this one.
I think Jim is correct. I'm pretty sure the three inch toothpicks is the top selling small pattern, if not it is right behind the Peanut. The teardrop runs hot and cold but some patterns such as the small toothpick is timeless.
Although I know a number of pattern collectors that do collect toothpicks, they are one of those patterns that are collector specific.
No offense meant, in my eyes some of the pattern specific collections are awesome. I happen to think the sowbelly is one very unique and lovely pattern but it tends to only sell to those specific collectors unless you happen to match it with a handle material that people just cannot resist.
I catch myself spending way too much money on the SMKW eBay page MVP Knife. They are very good to the buyers and I trust them completely. Sometimes I can find some real good bargains.
This is general known as the V-44 Survival Knife that was originally developed in 1934 for and issued to flying personnel to carry in a jungle bail-out kit attached to the seat pack and later to the parachute harness. The original knives were manufactured through 1942. It is also sometimes more correctly referred to as the Model 18. It was most famously utilized by US jungle fighters in the Pacific theater of operations; most notably by the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion. Several companied made this knife. This example is manufactured by Case and carries the CASE XX logo. It has the rarer and highly sought-after brass cross guard. The handle is of the black molded variety. The knife is large, heavy and has a very intimidating look and feel; a factor that helped to make it popular with the troops who were fortunate enough to carry one. It shows slight sharpening and is in VG+ condition. The sheath is brown leather, stitched in the rear with a small tear at the throat where the owner made a rawhide keeper for it. It has the following hand-written inscription inked on the rear of the sheath: "USMC 4 Bgt 2By/ Canal, Bouganville” with a hand drawn Raider insignia. It is readable, however too light to photo well. For references please see Coles III Pages 136-137 and Silvey Page 77.
Hello Friends - I have a 2004 Case 6355-WH-SS Seahorse Whittler with bright red jigged bone handles, and the "Long-Tail C" Silverscript inlaid "Case" logo in the handle. It is blade etched "First Run" and accordingly, has no box. I'm trying (so far in vain) to locate the ITEM NUMBER which Case used for this piece (with the RED jigged bone handles) when it went into production in 2004. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to "catalog" my entire Case collection, including "year-appropriate / handle material correct" Item numbers. Thanks in advance for any help with this. Best - JS
