Case knives The good the bad and the ugly

[Beachkid23]

I bought these today, another guy asked for old pocket knives and this guy pulled out 100 of them out of his house. He wanted crazy numbers for them and I don't know enough about them to be buying a bunch of knives. There was five the other buyer picked up and the guy told him $40. He passed on them but I didn't. I know case is a good brand. They are used, but wanted to ask you all what did I get? Some of them need some WD-40 or something to get them out. I think they're in the well used category.

The big two blade alone should almost double your money... very nice!! I have a similar one my dad gave me for Christmas when I was 12-13... and it was used when I got it. One of the only things that I got out when my house burnt last June.

As a collector of Western of Boulder Colorado Knives I know that condition is everything for the higher selling models unless rare.
The guy that started Western and the guy who started Case Knives were friends and would go up and down the block selling knives. Case on one side of the street and the other (forgot his name) on the opposite side.
Good luck!

I like Case knives, but I got plenty already. Even my work (ie:, to be abused) knives are in better condition than most of those.

I even have a newer Master Barlow knife with the Confederate flag-looking handle that I got when I had misplaced my regular knife while out of state. It's made in China, and I still don't abuse the thing that badly.

This should help with dating the knives and yes condition is like other items everything.
Look for the markings on the tang, end of the blade. Good luck.

As said above condition is everything. But may I add that the price point on condition is like falling off a cliff, or not. A knife needs to be perfect and un sharpened like new for premium money once it has been sharpened and used it crashes in value. For the money you paid I don't think you got hurt but all of these are crashers. Absolutely sharpen them oil them clean them and use them. Awesome stuff.

Thank you all. I wonder if auctioning them is a lot would be the best way to go with some close-up pictures of everything. ? Kind of what I had in mind to begin with but idk.
