So I can't find this knife anywhere. It is a case with the 1920-1940 stamp (or 1919-1945 if u subscribe to that dateline). But the 3 blade with the thin blade is one I haven't been able to find. Just trying to figure out the model so I can figure out a value on it. Thanks or any help you can might have

old stockman
Thank you . Why does it have that thin blade on the right instead of the normal blade
been sharpened a lot it was a full size blade in the beginning
Sweet old Case. Bet it could tell some stories if it could speak.
I don't know . It's too uniform. I think the blade was made that way . I think it would show signs of all that sharpening . There is a lobster knife they made that's close but not quite the same
Thank you . I think so too . I'm not buying the it was sharpened down to nothing. It doesn't look like that to me. There was a lobster knife they made with a similar blade but not quite the same
It is for sale by the way lol
Hate to be the messenger w/bad news Christopher but those blades
are well worn from use & sharpening. Fuller the blades better the value.
Also with blades open check for blade wobble side to side. Do the blades
have hard snap when closed or opened or move in & out w/o effort?
Yellow synthetic handles are typical of Case 'working man' knives.
Not very expensive even when new. In addition to main blade front tang
stamp another tang usually has pattern number, either whole thing or
just model designation. Whole thing would start with a 3 for yellow handle
followed by another 3 for 3 blades then 2-3 digit pattern. From shape of your
handles I'd guess pattern digits be 087 or 18. Might also help pin it down
to mention overall length with blades closed.
