Fred,
Reading Scott's "Groups" discussion and realized that the Seahorse isn't breaking any records. Would you mind if we closed down the Seahorse Group and added discussions here at the CASE Site.

Just sent you all an invitation to download a coupon from the Case website that's good for $5 off any $30 purchase of Case knives...look for it in your inboxes!
HI EVERYONE PLEASE CHEKC OUT THE COUNTER FIT KNIFE DISCUSSION ON THE MAIN PAGE. I HAVE POSTED A CASE TESTED TRAPPER PHOTO FOR YOUR INSPECTION AND OPINIONS.
I just receved a 5347DAM from www.shepherdhill.com. I have a 1995 5347 D Alabama Damascus whch this is paterned after. Jim Parker brought damascus steel into the case line-up... I think these limited edition DAM's will be a good bet now. The Stag I got is stunning. Both are in my photos. PS: I bought a 2nd one at www.deadwoodknives.com for $154 and I love Becky at SH but they were $174. Bing you case modle numbers and you'll get your lowest price in seconds... Many time less than a true bid on ebay for real Case Specisl Limited Editions and not commemorative SFO.
I see where Bro. Mike Bryant got a deal from Becky and the gang at www.shepherdhills.com - I bought a 4.4 inch Case Brothers Barlow single blade there last month for $39.00. Get thier mailings and check thier specials out when you have that itch. They have so many SFO knives just for them when the right time come they dump them. I bought a trapperlock last October before they were released in 2009 throught SH. It was a Halloween knife but I'm glad I got it then. This year I think it's a seahorse whitler..... Halloween! That will send a few folks looking!
I just received a copy of Steve Pfeiffer’s book, “Collecting Case Knives”. This is an outstanding technical reference guide. As he states in his forward, he was trying to take a different tact from previous price guides and books. Well, he was successful and the end product great! Steve explains and defines a very complicated and difficult to at times understand migration and identification of the Case lines of knives. Of course it’s well sourced without a doubt when you dig in. I do not know Steve and have been a fan of Sergeants’ publications but there’s not a real completion in my opinion. Each one should be part of any Case knife collector’s library. They complement each other in a true synergistic fashion.
Thanks Steve – Well done! And thank you too for the comments you are willing to share with us all on iCK.

hey everyone! i havea Case knife its white with red flames on it. i recieved it from my dad a few years ago. i cant find it online, or on a search. can someone tell me anything about it, and how much it is worth.
it has 6254 SS stamped on the second blade. i do know its a trapper. it has 5 x's around the Case symbol on the first blade.
Jeff, I believe that knife was part of the OCC (Orange County Chopper) Series. Several smooth bones with those flames. They ran $70-100 each if memory serves.
Jeff, I'll try this one more time with a little more authority ;>
That is an OCC event knife that they only sold at certain events around the country. The total production ended up in the hundreds and many of them ended up on eBay. But it is an OCC event trapper. I have had at least 4 color variations of the same knife at one time or another.
Simply search for "case occ knife" on eBay today shows two other variants and if you check the completed auctions there is another that sold for $70.
Regarding those P172 Buffalos. I couls not make out details from your photos, but here are some tips. The only 10 dot Buffalo was made in 1980, not 1970, even though it has the 1970 tang stamp (with the regular S not the jagged or "lightning" S). This was a factory error knife, only 600 made. The nine dot would be either 1971 or 1981, need better pic to tell.
o my thank you so much this is why i love this site some of you guys really know your stuff and teach us newbies a lot thanks so much to all of you. if you dont mind i will post some better pictures now that i know what you need to see thanks again and happy new year to all
