Steve Pfeiffer commented on James O Phillips's blog post Knife Manufacturers And distributers ,"Thanks for putting that list together but I would question a few of them:
Imperial knives made by Queen? Can you point to an example?

Steve Pfeiffer left a comment for Frank Evans"That folding stag knife is real and a rare though not extremely rare knife...I think the model number was 551. I have seen 3-4 of them on ebay in recent years. Some of the books do show it."

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…"

I am a new CASE collector. I am retired so I have to find CASE bargains. Most of my purchases have been unused/ new knives. Does your book collecting CASE knives cover newer knives. Can you help me to find a copy of your book (book store chain or web site)

- Steve - your wisdom sir,
I apologies if I am imposing but this has me more than scratching my head for these reason's.....
1. SUCH knives have never even like this one of one have sold higher than true vintage production knives I guess because locating a true 5488 in Mint Bradford or even Case xx is more of a challenge to the collector than grabbing this. I think....
2. But this is a CASE, likely never to ever be reproduced.
3. Upside, rate off appreciation (by when will it see it's value realized)
$. As for the collector is this a novelty Case knife or a piece one would reach for it able to get..
Can you see how normal scarcity it askew here but on the other hand it is a rare a rear can get, but by not being production reduce it to a neat find - cute but no cigar
This letter comes with this fantastic knife!
W.R. CASE AND SONS CUTLERY COMPANY
EIGHT BLADE PEARL HANDLE CANOE
ONE OF ONE
THIS EIGHT BLADE PEARL CANOE WAS MADE IN THE MODEL SHOP AT THE CASE FACTORY IN MARCH 1999 AS A SPECIAL PRESENTATION GIFT.

- The knife below - Single blade stag handle _ Case via the photos says they know nothing of that knife.... they refrained from using the word forgery but without any more documentation (which there was not any from the listing on eBay) they were not aware of a prototype or production knife that reassembles it. That's the three photos of the single "thrust" knife. Sadly 1 day or more befoere the final bidding the going bid then was $550.00........
