Case Russlock

by Timothy Morris

Mar 16, 2015

I purchased  this Case knife back around 2000, when Lowes Hardware stopped selling knives such as Case - here where I live they did. It's been used and abused, lost and found, burnt - you name it. I still cherish it though. I have Steve Pfeiffer's 2009 book on Case Collecting, and have found that the tang stamp on this knife makes from 2000-2009. Like the 1970s and 1980s dot dating do the Xs and dots on this blade mean years or just the dots? I'm trying to figure out what year-make this knife is... I believe it's 2000. Anyway, I plan on putting it up for my son, and carrying my SOG for everyday use instead of this green-boned beauty. 

Thanks

Have a good one -

Tim

    Thanks JJ!  I've been wanting one of the drop point russlocks for a while now, I couldn't pass up the price on this one, picked it up at Shepherd hills at the Case event a few weeks ago.

    Here is a 2017 russlock I was commissioned to apply scrimshaw to the mark and pile sides and also fileworked the blade and back spring.
