It was under 200, it had a small pepper grain carbon spot that rubbed right out. I searched for a month before I found this one, not a whole lot out there right now
Nice. Like that pattern. I got a rough rider half hawk with glow in the dark scales. But that Case there is the real deal. I think you are right about reversing the grip on the swayback handle to cut cordage like on a ship or working on a loom. I do that with hawkbills to maintain grape vines and tomato plants and such.
Fantastic piece brother!!!!! Them old case knives are some of the best in the world!!!!!
Nice find Big Al. Agree with ya on the scales. Thanks for the History.
You were sure fortunate to find one that is such a gem at the right price Al. I haven’t seen a decent wood handle 17 pattern for much less than $200.
