The CASE knife.
 

I tore mine up opening boxes at work. The steel isn't easy to sharpen for me. I sent back for the free clean and sharpening. Holy smokes! If I knew it was gonna shine ip like this I would have taken a "before" pic. I think this is from the late 70's. I like it. It is very tame compared to everything else I own. Let' see yours!

I have 2 of those, great knives.....they are in kahoots with zippo in Bradford pa, they have a cool museum also :-)

Very nice, Cliff!

Count the dots at the base of the blade. In 1970 they had 10 dots and took one away for each year. In 1980 the s in case was changed to a lightning bolt style s and got 10 dots, with one removed each year. That's how you date the "dotted" Case knives.

1976!

did they charge you anything to get it cleaned up?

nothing. free! took about 2 weeks.

Kershaw does this as well.

Let me know if you want some cool knives...just PM me. I buy them to give to customers so I have a decent reserve. My Son tried to make some extra cash last week end so he took (with permission) and set up a table in the drive way. Sold a bunch for not much - pure profit for him - not me!

Very cool. I wasted a few minutes looking at them, thanks Vash.

Here's mine. A Boker "Tree Brand" stockman, made in Solingen Germany. The handles are made from German beer barrels........
